NAME

EVP_SignInit, EVP_SignUpdate, EVP_SignFinal - EVP signing functions

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 int EVP_SignInit_ex(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *impl);
 int EVP_SignUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
 int EVP_SignFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx,unsigned char *sig,unsigned int *s, EVP_PKEY *pkey);

 void EVP_SignInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);

 int EVP_PKEY_size(EVP_PKEY *pkey);

DESCRIPTION

The EVP signature routines are a high level interface to digital signatures.

EVP_SignInit_ex() sets up signing context ctx to use digest type from ENGINE impl. ctx must be initialized with EVP_MD_CTX_init() before calling this function.

EVP_SignUpdate() hashes cnt bytes of data at d into the signature context ctx. This function can be called several times on the same ctx to include additional data.

EVP_SignFinal() signs the data in ctx using the private key pkey and places the signature in sig. The number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the signature) will be written to the integer at s, at most EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes will be written.

EVP_SignInit() initializes a signing context ctx to use the default implementation of digest type.

EVP_PKEY_size() returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes. The actual signature returned by EVP_SignFinal() may be smaller.

RETURN VALUES

EVP_SignInit_ex(), EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.

EVP_PKEY_size() returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes.

The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).

NOTES

The 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.

Due to the link between message digests and public key algorithms the correct digest algorithm must be used with the correct public key type. A list of algorithms and associated public key algorithms appears in EVP_DigestInit(3).

When signing with DSA private keys the random number generator must be seeded or the operation will fail. The random number generator does not need to be seeded for RSA signatures.

The call to EVP_SignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. This means that calls to EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() 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.
