Net::DNS::SEC::DSA(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, you're looking at Net::DNS::SEC::DSA(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — and this is the manual for Net::DNS::SEC::DSA, aka the DNSSEC DSA digital signature algorithm. lowkey iconic, highkey cryptographic 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

group-chat cheat sheet incoming, bestie:

require Net::DNS::SEC::DSA;

$signature = Net::DNS::SEC::DSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );

$validated = Net::DNS::SEC::DSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $sigbin );

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this module is the implementation of DSA digital signature generation and verification procedures. That's the whole vibe: signatures get made, signatures get checked, no cap 💖

🖊️ sign

$signature = Net::DNS::SEC::DSA->sign( $sigdata, $private );

It generates the wire-format signature from the sigdata octet string and the appropriate private key object. private key + sigdata = signature, slay ✨

🔍 verify

$validated = Net::DNS::SEC::DSA->verify( $sigdata, $keyrr, $sigbin );

It verifies the signature over the sigdata octet string using the specified public key resource record. keyrr, sigbin, validated — the vibes are checking out 🦋

okay that's the whole page 🫶 cute sign-off tea: this came from perl v5.44.0, dated 2026-10-17, and the manual is Net::DNS::SEC::DSA(3) ✨💅
