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

  237. If RSA-PSS is used and restrictions apply then the digest must match.
  238. .PP
  239. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR works in the same way as \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
  240. except that the \fImdname\fR parameter will be inferred from the supplied
  241. digest \fItype\fR, and \fIprops\fR will be \s-1NULL.\s0 Where supplied the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fIe\fR will
  242. be used for the signing and digest algorithm implementations. \fIe\fR may be \s-1NULL.\s0
  243. .PP
  244. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR hashes \fIcnt\fR bytes of data at \fId\fR into the
  245. signature context \fIctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
  246. same \fIctx\fR to include additional data.
  247. .PP
  248. Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR signs the data in \fIctx\fR
  249. and places the signature in \fIsig\fR.
  250. Otherwise the maximum necessary size of the output buffer is written to
  251. the \fIsiglen\fR parameter. If \fIsig\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 then before the call the
  252. \&\fIsiglen\fR parameter should contain the length of the \fIsig\fR buffer. If the
  253. call is successful the signature is written to \fIsig\fR and the amount of data
  254. written to \fIsiglen\fR.
  255. .PP
  256. \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR is similar to a single call to \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and
  257. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR.
  258. Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 \fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR signs the data \fItbs\fR of length \fItbslen\fR
  259. bytes and places the signature in a buffer \fIsig\fR of size \fIsiglen\fR.
  260. If \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the maximum necessary size of the signature buffer is written
  261. to the \fIsiglen\fR parameter.
  262. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  263. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  264. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR and
  265. \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
  266. .PP
  267. The error codes can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  268. .SH "NOTES"
  269. .IX Header "NOTES"
  270. The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
  271. preference to the low-level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
  272. transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
  273. .PP
  274. \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR is a one shot operation which signs a single block of data
  275. in one function. For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent to
  276. calling \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR. For algorithms which
  277. do not support streaming (e.g. PureEdDSA) it is the only way to sign data.
  278. .PP
  279. In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types
  280. and public key algorithms. This meant that \*(L"clone\*(R" digests such as \fBEVP_dss1()\fR
  281. needed to be used to sign using \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1DSA.\s0 This is no longer necessary and
  282. the use of clone digest is now discouraged.
  283. .PP
  284. For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded.
  285. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to
  286. external circumstances (see \s-1\fBRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail.
  287. .PP
  288. The call to \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest
  289. context. This means that calls to \fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR and
  290. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR can be called later to digest and sign additional data.
  291. Applications may disable this behavior by setting the \s-1EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_FINALISE\s0
  292. context flag via \fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_flags\fR\|(3).
  293. .PP
  294. Note that not all providers support continuation, in case the selected
  295. provider does not allow to duplicate contexts \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR will
  296. finalize the digest context and attempting to process additional data via
  297. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR will result in an error.
  298. .PP
  299. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR functions can be called
  300. multiple times on a context and the parameters set by previous calls should be
  301. preserved if the \fIpkey\fR parameter is \s-1NULL.\s0 The call then just resets the state
  302. of the \fIctx\fR.
  303. .PP
  304. \&\fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR can not be called again, once a signature is generated (by
  305. passing \fIsig\fR as non \s-1NULL\s0), unless the \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR is reinitialised by
  306. calling \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR.
  307. .PP
  308. Ignoring failure returns of \fBEVP_DigestSignInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestSignInit_ex()\fR
  309. functions can lead to subsequent undefined behavior when calling
  310. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignUpdate()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestSignFinal()\fR, or \fBEVP_DigestSign()\fR.
  311. .PP
  312. The use of \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size()\fR with these functions is discouraged because some
  313. signature operations may have a signature length which depends on the
  314. parameters set. As a result \fBEVP_PKEY_get_size()\fR would have to return a value
  315. which indicates the maximum possible signature for any set of parameters.
