1.2 Digital Signature Algorithms
This example application shows how to use the Crypto v4 library's API for Digital Signature Algorithm functions.
Description
This demo application tests the functionality and performance the Crypto v4 library's API DSA hardware and software functions. Hardware and software selection is located inside the Crypto library in MCC. This demo application tests both compressed and uncompressed keys. Compressed keys only work with software.
