A \fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for \s-1DSA\s0

of \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fR \s-1API\s0 calls.
.PP
Initially, the default \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
as returned by \fBDSA_OpenSSL()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR makes \fBmeth\fR the default method for all \s-1DSA\s0
structures created later. \fB\s-1NB\s0\fR: This is true only whilst no \s-1ENGINE\s0 has
been set as a default for \s-1DSA,\s0 so this function is no longer recommended.
.PP
\&\fBDSA_get_default_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current default
\&\s-1DSA_METHOD.\s0 However, the meaningfulness of this result is dependent on
whether the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 is being used, so this function is no longer 
recommended.
.PP
\&\fBDSA_set_method()\fR selects \fBmeth\fR to perform all operations using the key
\&\fBrsa\fR. This will replace the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 used by the \s-1DSA\s0 key and if the
previous method was supplied by an \s-1ENGINE,\s0 the handle to that \s-1ENGINE\s0 will
be released during the change. It is possible to have \s-1DSA\s0 keys that only
work with certain \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 implementations (eg. from an \s-1ENGINE\s0 module
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
attempting to change the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0 for the key can have unexpected
results.
.PP
\&\fBDSA_new_method()\fR allocates and initializes a \s-1DSA\s0 structure so that \fBengine\fR
will be used for the \s-1DSA\s0 operations. If \fBengine\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the default engine
for \s-1DSA\s0 operations is used, and if no default \s-1ENGINE\s0 is set, the \s-1DSA_METHOD\s0

\&\fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR, \fBDSA_get_default_method()\fR, \fBDSA_set_method()\fR,
\&\fBDSA_new_method()\fR and \fBDSA_OpenSSL()\fR were added in OpenSSL 0.9.4.
.PP
\&\fBDSA_set_default_openssl_method()\fR and \fBDSA_get_default_openssl_method()\fR replaced
\&\fBDSA_set_default_method()\fR and \fBDSA_get_default_method()\fR respectively, and
\&\fBDSA_set_method()\fR and \fBDSA_new_method()\fR were altered to use \fB\s-1ENGINE\s0\fRs rather than
\&\fB\s-1DSA_METHOD\s0\fRs during development of the engine version of OpenSSL 0.9.6. For
0.9.7, the handling of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 was restructured so that this
change was reversed, and behaviour of the other functions resembled more closely
the previous behaviour. The behaviour of defaults in the \s-1ENGINE API\s0 now
transparently overrides the behaviour of defaults in the \s-1DSA API\s0 without
requiring changing these function prototypes.
