NAME
EVP_PKEY_sign_init, EVP_PKEY_sign - sign using a public key algorithm
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_PKEY_sign_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
int EVP_PKEY_sign(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,
const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);
DESCRIPTION
The EVP_PKEY_sign_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key pkey for a signing operation.
The EVP_PKEY_sign() function performs a public key signing operation
using ctx. The data to be signed is specified using the tbs and
tbslen parameters. If sig is NULL then the maximum size of the output
buffer is written to the siglen parameter. If sig is not NULL then
before the call the siglen parameter should contain the length of the
sig buffer, if the call is successful the signature is written to
sig and the amount of data written to siglen.
NOTES
After the call to EVP_PKEY_sign_init() algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
operation.
The function EVP_PKEY_sign() can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_PKEY_sign_init() and EVP_PKEY_sign() return 1 for success and 0
or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
EXAMPLE
Sign data using RSA with PKCS#1 padding and SHA256 digest:
#include <openssl/evp.h>
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
unsigned char *md, *sig;
size_t mdlen, siglen;
EVP_PKEY *signing_key;
/* NB: assumes signing_key, md and mdlen are already set up
* and that signing_key is an RSA private key
*/
ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(signing_key);
if (!ctx)
/* Error occurred */
if (EVP_PKEY_sign_init(ctx) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(ctx, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING) <= 0)
/* Error */
if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md(ctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
/* Error */
/* Determine buffer length */
if (EVP_PKEY_sign(ctx, NULL, &siglen, md, mdlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
sig = OPENSSL_malloc(siglen);
if (!sig)
/* malloc failure */
if (EVP_PKEY_sign(ctx, sig, &siglen, md, mdlen) <= 0)
/* Error */
/* Signature is siglen bytes written to buffer sig */
