TElCertificateRequest.GetDSAParams Method

TElCertificateRequest.GetDSAParams

Returns the DSA algorithm parameters for currently loaded Certificate Request

Declaration

[C#]
bool GetDSAParams(ref byte[] P, ref int PSize, ref byte[] Q, ref int QSize, ref byte[] G, ref int GSize, ref byte[] Y, ref int YSize);

[VB.NET]
Function GetDSAParams(ByRef P As Byte(), ByRef PSize As Integer, ByRef Q As Byte(), ByRef QSize As Integer, ByRef G As Byte(), ByRef GSize As Integer, ByRef Y As Byte(), ByRef YSize As Integer) As Boolean

[Pascal]
function GetDSAParams( P : pointer; var PSize : integer; Q : pointer; var QSize : integer; G : pointer; var GSize : integer; Y : pointer; var YSize : integer) : boolean;

[C++]
bool GetDSAParams(void * P, int32_t &PSize, void * Q, int32_t &QSize, void * G, int32_t &GSize, void * Y, int32_t &YSize);

[Java]
boolean getDSAParams(byte[][] P, int[] PSize, byte[][] Q, int[] QSize, byte[][] G, int[] GSize, byte[][] Y, int[] YSize);

Parameters

P - pointer to buffer where to put the DSA P parameter
PSize - the length of DSA P parameter in bytes
Q - pointer to buffer where to put the DSA Q parameter
QSize - the length of DSA Q parameter in bytes
G - pointer to buffer where to put the DSA G parameter
GSize - the length of DSA G parameter in bytes
Y - pointer to buffer where to put the DSA Y parameter
YSize - the length of DSA Y parameter in bytes

Return value

    True if DSA parameters were successfully copied.
    False if at least one of P, Q, G or Y buffers is too small.
    In both cases the PSize, QSize, GSize and YSize values are set to actual sizes of P, Q, G and Y.

Description

Use this method to obtain the DSA parameters from Certificate Request. These four parameters (P, Q, G and Y) form the DSA public key.
