DSA domain parameter objects

DSA domain parameter objects (object class CKO_DOMAIN_PARAMETERS, key type CKK_DSA) hold DSA domain parameters. The following table defines the DSA domain parameter object attributes, in addition to the common attributes defined for this object class:

Table 219, DSA Domain Parameter Object Attributes

Attribute	Data type	Meaning
CKA_PRIME^1,4	Big integer	Prime p (512 to 1024 bits, in steps of 64 bits)
CKA_SUBPRIME^1,4	Big integer	Subprime q (160 bits)
CKA_BASE^1,4	Big integer	Base g
CKA_PRIME_BITS^2,3	CK_ULONG	Length of the prime value.

The CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME and CKA_BASE attribute values are collectively the "DSA domain parameters". See FIPS PUB 186-2 for more information on DSA domain parameters.
