The parameters in this +file determine the size of the private key. DSA parameters can be generated +and examined using the B command. + +=back + +=head1 NOTES + +DSA key generation is little more than random number generation so it is +much quicker that RSA key generation for example. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, L, L, +L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2000-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
