[OTR-dev] DSA Signing

[alex323]

The create signature method seems to output a byte array 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemsecuritycryptographydsacryptoserviceproviderclasscreatesignaturetopic.asp)

The only problem is that the protocol calls for:

"

DSA signature (DSASIG):
  (len is the length of the DSA public parameter q)
  len byte unsigned r, big-endian
  len byte unsigned s, big-endian

"

The output length of the byte array is 40 bytes. I've always known Q to 
be 20 bytes. Is it possible that the first half of the byte array is r, 
while the other half is s?
