DESCRIPTION
       DSA_generate_key() expects a to contain DSA parameters. It generates a
       new key pair and stores it in a->pub_key and a->priv_key.

       The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling DSA_generate_key().

RETURN VALUE
       DSA_generate_key() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.  The error codes
       can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
