- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
- The \s-1EVP\s0 signature routines are a high-level interface to digital signatures.
- Input data is digested first before the signing takes place.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR sets up signing context \fIctx\fR to use a digest
- with the name \fImdname\fR and private key \fIpkey\fR. The name of the digest to be
- used is passed to the provider of the signature algorithm in use. How that
- provider interprets the digest name is provider specific. The provider may
- implement that digest directly itself or it may (optionally) choose to fetch it
- (which could result in a digest from a different provider being selected). If the
- provider supports fetching the digest then it may use the \fIprops\fR argument for
- the properties to be used during the fetch. Finally, the passed parameters
- \&\fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 are set on the context before returning.
- .PP
- The \fIpkey\fR algorithm is used to fetch a \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR method implicitly, to
- be used for the actual signing. See \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7) for
- more information about implicit fetches.
- .PP
- The OpenSSL default and legacy providers support fetching digests and can fetch
- those digests from any available provider. The OpenSSL \s-1FIPS\s0 provider also
- supports fetching digests but will only fetch digests that are themselves
- implemented inside the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider.
- .PP
- \&\fIctx\fR must be created with \fBEVP_MD_CTX_new()\fR before calling this function. If
- \&\fIpctx\fR is not \s-1NULL,\s0 the \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 of the signing operation will be written
- to \fI*pctx\fR: this can be used to set alternative signing options. Note that any
- existing value in \fI*pctx\fR is overwritten. The \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 value returned must
- not be freed directly by the application if \fIctx\fR is not assigned an
- \&\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 value before being passed to \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
- (which means the \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 is created inside \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
- and it will be freed automatically when the \s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0 is freed). If the
- \&\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 to be used is created by EVP_DigestSignInit_ex then it
- will use the \fB\s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0\fR specified in \fIlibctx\fR and the property query string
- specified in \fIprops\fR.
- .PP
- The digest \fImdname\fR may be \s-1NULL\s0 if the signing algorithm supports it. The
- \&\fIprops\fR argument can always be \s-1NULL.\s0
- .PP
- No \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR will be created by \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR if the
- passed \fIctx\fR has already been assigned one via \fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx\fR\|(3).
- See also \s-1\fBSM2\s0\fR\|(7).
- .PP
- Only \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 types that support signing can be used with these functions. This
- includes \s-1MAC\s0 algorithms where the \s-1MAC\s0 generation is considered as a form of
- \&\*(L"signing\*(R". Built-in \s-1EVP_PKEY\s0 types supported by these functions are \s-1CMAC,\s0
- Poly1305, \s-1DSA, ECDSA, HMAC, RSA,\s0 SipHash, Ed25519 and Ed448.
- .PP

- .PP
- If RSA-PSS is used and restrictions apply then the digest must match.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR works in the same way as \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
- except that the \fImdname\fR parameter will be inferred from the supplied
- digest \fItype\fR, and \fIprops\fR will be \s-1NULL.\s0 Where supplied the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fIe\fR will
- be used for the signing and digest algorithm implementations. \fIe\fR may be \s-1NULL.\s0
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR hashes \fIcnt\fR bytes of data at \fId\fR into the
- signature context \fIctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
- same \fIctx\fR to include additional data.
- .PP
- Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR signs the data in \fIctx\fR
- and places the signature in \fIsig\fR.
- Otherwise the maximum necessary size of the output buffer is written to
- the \fIsiglen\fR parameter. If \fIsig\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 then before the call the
- \&\fIsiglen\fR parameter should contain the length of the \fIsig\fR buffer. If the
- call is successful the signature is written to \fIsig\fR and the amount of data
- written to \fIsiglen\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR is similar to a single call to \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR.
- Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 \fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR signs the data \fItbs\fR of length \fItbslen\fR
- bytes and places the signature in a buffer \fIsig\fR of size \fIsiglen\fR.
- If \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the maximum necessary size of the signature buffer is written
- to the \fIsiglen\fR parameter.
- .SH "RETURN VALUES"
- .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
- .PP
- The error codes can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
- .SH "NOTES"
- .IX Header "NOTES"
- The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR 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.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR is a one shot operation which signs a single block of data
- in one function. For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent to
- calling \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR. For algorithms which
- do not support streaming (e.g. PureEdDSA) it is the only way to sign data.
- .PP
- In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types
- and public key algorithms. This meant that \*(L"clone\*(R" digests such as \fBEVP_dss1()\fR
- needed to be used to sign using \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1DSA.\s0 This is no longer necessary and
- the use of clone digest is now discouraged.
- .PP
- For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded.
- If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to
- external circumstances (see \s-1\fBRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail.
- .PP
- The call to \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest
- context. This means that calls to \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR can be called later to digest and sign additional data.
- Applications may disable this behavior by setting the \s-1EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_FINALISE\s0
- context flag via \fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_flags\fR\|(3).
- .PP
- Note that not all providers support continuation, in case the selected
- provider does not allow to duplicate contexts \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR will
- finalize the digest context and attempting to process additional data via
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR will result in an error.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR functions can be called
- multiple times on a context and the parameters set by previous calls should be
- preserved if the \fIpkey\fR parameter is \s-1NULL.\s0 The call then just resets the state
- of the \fIctx\fR.
- .PP
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR can not be called again, once a signature is generated (by
- passing \fIsig\fR as non \s-1NULL\s0), unless the \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR is reinitialised by
- calling \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR.
- .PP
- Ignoring failure returns of \fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
- functions can lead to subsequent undefined behavior when calling
- \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR, or \fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR.
- .PP
- The use of \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size()\fR with these functions is discouraged because some
- signature operations may have a signature length which depends on the
- parameters set. As a result \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size()\fR would have to return a value
- which indicates the maximum possible signature for any set of parameters.
