C# generate a public and private keys for the DSA encryption algorithm

Question

How do I generate a public and a private key for the DSA algorithm in byte array format?

Answer 1

In DSA algorithm (from wiki):

• Public key is (p, q, g, y).

• Private key is x.

      var dsa = new DSACryptoServiceProvider();            
      var privateKey = dsa.ExportParameters(true); // private key
      var publicKey = dsa.ExportParameters(false); // public key
  

In publicKey it's P, Q, G, Y propertyes

In privateKey it's X

And don't forget to accept this answer!
