+Example test files for FIPS 186-2 DSA
+
+1. The files with extension '.rsp' are response files in the proper format for CAVS validation.
+
+2. The file PQGGen.txt contains values for DSA domain parameter generation with intermediate results for generating the
+prime p according to Appendix 2, section 2.2 "Generation of Primes."
+
+3. The file SigGen.txt contains values for DSA signature generation with the
+following additional values needed to calculate r and s as in Section 5:
+ a. 'x' -- The private key.
+
+ b. 'k' -- A randomly-generated parameter, unique for each message, used to
+ compute r and s. See Section 4 and Appendix 3 for more information on k. \ No newline at end of file
