EVP_DigestSignInit, EVP_DigestSignUpdate, EVP_DigestSignFinal - EVP signing functions
|

|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int EVP_DigestSignInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY_CTX **pctx,
|
||
|
|
const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *e, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
|
||
|
|
int EVP_DigestSignUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
|
||
|
|
int EVP_DigestSignFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen);

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The EVP signature routines are a high level interface to digital signatures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_DigestSignInit() sets up signing context B<ctx> to use digest B<type> from
|
||
|
|
ENGINE B<impl> and private key B<pkey>. B<ctx> must be initialized with
|
||
|
|
EVP_MD_CTX_init() before calling this function. If B<pctx> is not NULL the
|
||
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX of the signing operation will be written to B<*pctx>: this can
|
||
|
|
be used to set alternative signing options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_DigestSignUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
|
||
|
|
signature context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
|
||
|
|
same B<ctx> to include additional data. This function is currently implemented
|
||
|
|
usig a macro.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_DigestSignFinal() signs the data in B<ctx> places the signature in B<sig>.
|
||
|
|
If B<sig> is B<NULL> then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to
|
||
|
|
the B<siglen> parameter. If B<sig> is not B<NULL> then before the call the
|
||
|
|
B<siglen> parameter should contain the length of the B<sig> buffer, if the
|
||
|
|
call is successful the signature is written to B<sig> and the amount of data
|
||
|
|
written to B<siglen>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_DigestSignInit() EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and EVP_DigestSignaFinal() 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The error codes can be obtained from L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The B<EVP> interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
|
||
|
|
preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
|
||
|
|
transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types
|
||
|
|
and public key algorithms. This meant that "clone" digests such as EVP_dss1()
|
||
|
|
needed to be used to sign using SHA1 and DSA. This is no longer necessary and
|
||
|
|
the use of clone digest is now discouraged.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded
|
||
|
|
or the operation will fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The call to EVP_DigestSignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest
|
||
|
|
context. This means that calls to EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and
|
||
|
|
EVP_DigestSignFinal() can be called later to digest and sign additional data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
|
||
|
|
be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() or a memory leak
|
||
|
|
will occur.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The use of EVP_PKEY_size() with these functions is discouraged because some
|
||
|
|
signature operations may have a signature length which depends on the
|
||
|
|
parameters set. As a result EVP_PKEY_size() would have to return a value
|
||
|
|
which indicates the maximum possible signature for any set of parameters.
