Class Name
IPWorksEncrypt_DSA
Procedural Interface

Remarks
The DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) class enables users to generate DSA hash signatures.
To begin you must either specify an existing key or create a new key. Existing private keys may be specified by setting the Key* properties. To create a new key call CreateKey. Alternatively an existing certificate may be specified by setting the Certificate* properties
Signing
To sign data first set Key or Certificate. Select the input file by setting InputFile or InputMessage. Next call Sign. The Sign method will automatically compute the hash, and then sign the hash with the specified key.
Send the public key (see CreateKey for details), file, and HashSignature to the recipient.
To sign a hash without recomputing the hash simply set HashValue to the pre-computed hash value before calling Sign.
Signature Verification
To verify a signature specify the input data using InputFile or InputMessage. Set SignerKey or SignerCert. Next set HashSignature and call VerifySignature. The VerifySignature method will return True if the signature was successfully verified.
To verify a hash signature without recomputing the hash simply set HashValue to the pre-computed hash value before calling VerifySignature.
Hash Notes
The class will determine whether or not to recompute the hash based on the properties that are set. If a file is specified by InputFile or InputMessage the hash will be recomputed when calling Sign or VerifySignature. If the HashValue property is set the class will only sign the hash or verify the hash signature. Setting InputFile or InputMessage clears the HashValue property. Setting the HashValue property clears the input file selection.
DSA Key Notes
A DSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters. When calling CreateKey the Key* properties are populated with a new private and public key.
After calling Sign the public key must be sent to the recipient along with HashSignature so they may perform signature verification. Likewise you must obtain the public key along with HashSignature in order to perform signature verification.
The public key consists of the following parameters:
The class also includes the KeyPublicKey property which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both signature creation and verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in KeyPublicKey in which case the individual parameters must be sent.
The private key consists of the following parameters:
The class also include the KeyPrivateKey property which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily..Property List

UseHex Property (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Whether HashValue and HashSignature are hex encoded.
Object Oriented Interface
public function getUseHex(); public function setUseHex($value);
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_get($res, 76 ); ipworksencrypt_dsa_set($res, 76, $value );
Default Value
false
Remarks
This property specifies whether HashValue and HashSignature are hex encoded.
If set to True, when Sign is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate HashValue with the hex encoded hash value. It will then create the hash signature and populate HashSignature with the hex encoded hash signature value. If HashValue is specified directly it must be a hex encoded value.
If set to True, when VerifySignature is called the class will compute the hash value for the specified file and populate HashValue with the hex encoded hash value. It will then hex decode HashSignature and verify the signature. HashSignature must hold a hex encoded value. If HashValue is specified directly it must be a hex encoded value.
Data Type
Boolean
Config Method (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doConfig($configurationstring);
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_do_config($res, $configurationstring);
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
CreateKey Method (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Creates a new key.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doCreateKey();
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_do_createkey($res);
Remarks
This method creates a new public and private key.
DSA Key Notes
A DSA key is made up of a number of individual parameters. When calling CreateKey the Key* properties are populated with a new private and public key.
After calling Sign the public key must be sent to the recipient along with HashSignature so they may perform signature verification. Likewise you must obtain the public key along with HashSignature in order to perform signature verification.
The public key consists of the following parameters:
The class also includes the KeyPublicKey property which holds the PEM formatted public key for ease of use. This is helpful if you are in control of both signature creation and verification process. When sending the public key to a recipient note that not all implementations will support using the PEM formatted value in KeyPublicKey in which case the individual parameters must be sent.
The private key consists of the following parameters:
The class also include the KeyPrivateKey property which holds the PEM formatted private key for ease of use. This is helpful for storing the private key more easily.Reset Method (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Resets the class.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doReset();
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_do_reset($res);
Remarks
When called, the class will reset all of its properties to their default values.
Sign Method (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Creates a hash signature.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doSign();
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_do_sign($res);
Remarks
This method will create a hash signature.
Before calling this method specify the input file by setting InputFile or InputMessage.
A key is required to create the hash signature. You may create a new key by calling CreateKey, or specify an existing key pair in Key. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting Certificate. When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate HashValue. It will then create the hash signature using the specified Key and populate HashSignature.
To create the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify HashValue before calling this method.
The Progress event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature creation process is quick and does not require progress updates.
VerifySignature Method (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Verifies the signature for the specified data.
Object Oriented Interface
public function doVerifySignature();
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_do_verifysignature($res);
Remarks
This method will verify a hash signature.
Before calling this method specify the input file by setting InputFile or InputMessage.
A public key and the hash signature are required to perform the signature verification. Specify the public key in SignerKey. Alternatively, a certificate may be specified by setting SignerCert. Specify the hash signature in HashSignature.
When this method is called the class will compute the hash for the specified file and populate HashValue. It will verify the signature using the specified SignerKey and HashSignature.
To verify the hash signature without first computing the hash simply specify HashValue before calling this method.
The Progress event will fire with updates for the hash computation progress only. The hash signature verification process is quick and does not require progress updates.
Error Event (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)
Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.
Object Oriented Interface
public function fireError($param);
Procedural Interface
ipworksencrypt_dsa_register_callback($res, 1, array($this, 'fireError'));
Parameter List
'errorcode'
'description'
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the class fails with an error.
The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
Progress Event (IPWorksEncrypt_DSA Class)

'percentprocessed'
Remarks
This event is fired automatically as data is processed by the class.
The PercentProcessed parameter indicates the current status of the operation.
The BytesProcessed parameter holds the total number of bytes processed so far.
Config Settings (DSA Class)
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.DSA Config Settings
