DSA ist the signature algorithm used with DSS, the Digital Signature Standard. DSS requires the use of DSA along with SHA-1 as the hash algorithms. Similar provisions have been setup for DSA1 i.e. the combination of certain key sizes with certain hash algorithms. Thus there is no need for the hash firewall. OpenPGP OTOH allows to use any suitable hash algorithms with DSA. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
