instance method

OpenSSL::PKey::DSA#to_der

dsa.to_der → aString

Serializes a private or public key to a DER-encoding.

See to_pem for details.

This method is kept for compatibility. This should only be used when the traditional, non-standard OpenSSL format is required.

Consider using public_to_der or private_to_der instead.
