How to generate a new DSA parameter file using OpenSSL "genpkey -genparam" command?

If you need a new DSA parameter file in order to create new DSA keys, you can use the OpenSSL "genpkey -genparam" command as shown below:

C:\Users\fyicenter>\local\openssl\openssl.exe

OpenSSL> genpkey -genparam -algorithm dsa -out my_dsa.prm

-----END DSA PARAMETERS-----

Options used in this command are:

• "-genparam" - Generate key generation required parameters
• "-algorighm dsa" - Use DSA algorithm
• "-out my_dsa.prm" - Save output (the new DSA key generation parameters) in a file.

Note that by default, OpenSSL generates DSA key generation parameters for 1024-bit keys.
