+Example test files for FIPS 186-3 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 the following:
+
+    a. For 'A.1.1.2 Generation of the Probable Primes p and q Using an Approved
+	Hash Function', the value of the prime 'p' after step 11.5 for the first
+	five values of counter (i.e., 0 to 4) is printed out.
+	
+	b. For 'A.1.2.1 Construction of the Primes p and q Using the Shawe-Taylor
+	Algorithm', three sets of intermediate values are provided:
+	    1. All values of 'q' and 'qgen_counter' computed with 'C.6 Shawe-Taylor'
+		are printed.
+		
+		2. All values of 'p0' with corresponding value of 'pgen_counter'
+		computed with Shawe-Taylor are printed.
+		
+		3. The first five intermediate values of the prime 'p' at Step 13 of
+		A.1.2.1.2, with corresponding value of 'pgen_counter', are printed.
+
+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 4.6:
+	a. 'x' -- The private key.
+	
+	b. 'k' -- The Per-message secret number (PMSN) used to compute R and S.
+	See Section 4.5 and Appendix B.2 for more information on the PMSN.
