/* Generate a 1024 bit DSA key and put it into a file. The public key format is that specified by X.509, while the private key format is PKCS #8. The domain parameters are the ones specified as the Java default DSA parameters. There is nothing special about these, it's just the only 1024-bit DSA parameter set that's included in Botan at the time of this writing. The application always reads/writes all of the domain parameters to/from the file, so a new set could be used without any problems. We could generate a new set for each key, or read a set of DSA params from a file and use those, but they mostly seem like needless complications.
