and verification</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p>The following example demonstrates signing and verifying with DSA keys.

It generates a DSA key pair from the factory, signs some randomly generated

data using the private key and then verifies the signature using the public

key. </p>
