The DSA domain parameter generation mechanism, denoted CKM_DSA_PARAMETER_GEN, is a domain parameter generation mechanism based on the Digital Signature Algorithm defined in FIPS PUB 186-2.
This mechanism does not have a parameter.
The mechanism generates DSA domain parameters with a particular prime length in bits, as specified in the CKA_PRIME_BITS attribute of the template.
The mechanism contributes the CKA_CLASS, CKA_KEY_TYPE, CKA_PRIME, CKA_SUBPRIME, CKA_BASE and CKA_PRIME_BITS attributes to the new object. Other attributes supported by the DSA domain parameter types may also be specified in the template, or else are assigned default initial values.
For this mechanism, the ulMinKeySize and ulMaxKeySize fields of the CK_MECHANISM_INFO structure specify the supported range of DSA prime sizes, in bits.
