 `DSA`_ is a `public-key`_ algorithm for signing messages.
 
+.. function:: generate_parameters(key_size, backend)

+    Generate DSA parameters using the provided ``backend``.
+
+    :param int key_size: The length of the modulus in bits. It should be
+        either 1024, 2048 or 3072. For keys generated in 2014 this should
+        be `at least 2048`_ (See page 41).  Note that some applications
+        (such as SSH) have not yet gained support for larger key sizes
+        specified in FIPS 186-3 and are still restricted to only the
+        1024-bit keys specified in FIPS 186-2.
