When signing with DSA private keys the random number generator must be seeded.

If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to

external circumstances (see L<RAND(7)>), the operation will fail.

This requirement does not hold for RSA signatures.

The call to EVP_SignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.

This means that calls to EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() can be called
