.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
for further information.
.PP
The signature (\s-1OSSL_OP_SIGNATURE\s0) operation enables providers to implement
signature algorithms and make them available to applications via the \s-1API\s0
functions \fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3),
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify\fR\|(3),
and \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\fR\|(3) (as well
as other related functions).
.PP
All \*(L"functions\*(R" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
\&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \s-1\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR\|(3) arrays via
\&\s-1\fBOSSL_ALGORITHM\s0\fR\|(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's
\&\fBprovider_query_operation()\fR function
(see \*(L"Provider Functions\*(R" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)).
.PP
All these \*(L"functions\*(R" have a corresponding function type definition
named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an \s-1\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR\|(3) element named
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR.
For example, the \*(L"function\*(R" \fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx()\fR has these:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx_fn)(void *provctx, const char *propq);
\& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx_fn
\&     OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);

A signature algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
In order to be a consistent set of functions we must have at least a set of
context functions (OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_signature_freectx) as well as a
set of \*(L"signature\*(R" functions, i.e. at least one of:

OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params and OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params are optional,
but if one of them is present then the other one must also be present. The same
applies to OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params and OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_params, as
well as the \*(L"md_params\*(R" functions. The OSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx function is optional.
.PP
A signature algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating,
loading or importing keys via the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation.
See \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7) for further details.
.SS "Context Management Functions"
.IX Subsection "Context Management Functions"
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx()\fR should create and return a pointer to a provider side
structure for holding context information during a signature operation.
A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other signature
operation function calls.
The parameter \fIprovctx\fR is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7)). The \fIpropq\fR parameter is a property query
string that may be (optionally) used by the provider during any \*(L"fetches\*(R" that
it may perform (if it performs any).
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_freectx()\fR is passed a pointer to the provider side signature
context in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx()\fR should duplicate the provider side signature context in
the \fIctx\fR parameter and return the duplicate copy.
.SS "Signing Functions"
.IX Subsection "Signing Functions"
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_init()\fR initialises a context for signing given a provider side
signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object
in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The \fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using \fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_sign()\fR performs the actual signing itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR
parameter.
The data to be signed is pointed to be the \fItbs\fR parameter which is \fItbslen\fR
bytes long.
Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the signature should be written to the location pointed
to by the \fIsig\fR parameter and it should not exceed \fIsigsize\fR bytes in length.
The length of the signature should be written to \fI*siglen\fR.
If \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum length of the signature should be written to
\&\fI*siglen\fR.
.SS "Verify Functions"
.IX Subsection "Verify Functions"
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_init()\fR initialises a context for verifying a signature given
a provider side signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a
provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The \fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using \fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_verify()\fR performs the actual verification itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
The data that the signature covers is pointed to be the \fItbs\fR parameter which
is \fItbslen\fR bytes long.
The signature is pointed to by the \fIsig\fR parameter which is \fIsiglen\fR bytes
long.
.SS "Verify Recover Functions"
.IX Subsection "Verify Recover Functions"
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover_init()\fR initialises a context for recovering the
signed data given a provider side signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and
a pointer to a provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The \fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using \fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover()\fR performs the actual verify recover itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
The signature is pointed to by the \fIsig\fR parameter which is \fIsiglen\fR bytes
long.
Unless \fIrout\fR is \s-1NULL,\s0 the recovered data should be written to the location
pointed to by \fIrout\fR which should not exceed \fIroutsize\fR bytes in length.
The length of the recovered data should be written to \fI*routlen\fR.
If \fIrout\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to
the \fIroutlen\fR parameter.
.SS "Digest Sign Functions"
.IX Subsection "Digest Sign Functions"
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_digeset_sign_init()\fR initialises a context for signing given a
provider side signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a
provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The \fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 should be set on the context in a manner similar to
using \fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR and
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_md_params()\fR.
The key object should have been
previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the
key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see \fBprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
The name of the digest to be used will be in the \fImdname\fR parameter.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update()\fR provides data to be signed in the \fIdata\fR
parameter which should be of length \fIdatalen\fR. A previously initialised
signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR parameter. This function may be called
multiple times to cumulatively add data to be signed.
.PP
\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_final()\fR finalises a signature operation previously

\&\fBOSSL_FUNC_signature_digeset_verify_init()\fR initialises a context for verifying given a
provider side verification context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a
provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.

The key object should have been
previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the

.IX Item "digest (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
Get or sets the name of the digest algorithm used for the input to the
signature functions. It is required in order to calculate the \*(L"algorithm-id\*(R".
.ie n .IP """properties"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES\s0\fR) <\s-1UTF8\s0 string>" 4
.el .IP "``properties'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES\s0\fR) <\s-1UTF8\s0 string>" 4
.IX Item "properties (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
Sets the name of the property query associated with the \*(L"digest\*(R" algorithm.
\&\s-1NULL\s0 is used if this optional value is not set.

.IX Item "digest-size (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST_SIZE) <unsigned integer>"
Gets or sets the output size of the digest algorithm used for the input to the
signature functions.
The length of the \*(L"digest-size\*(R" parameter should not exceed that of a \fBsize_t\fR.
.ie n .IP """algorithm-id"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID\s0\fR) <octet string>" 4
.el .IP "``algorithm-id'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID\s0\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item "algorithm-id (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>"
Gets the \s-1DER\s0 encoded AlgorithmIdentifier that corresponds to the combination of
signature algorithm and digest algorithm for the signature operation.
.ie n .IP """nonce-type"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.el .IP "``nonce-type'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item "nonce-type (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer>"
Set this to 1 to use deterministic digital signature generation with
\&\s-1ECDSA\s0 or \s-1DSA,\s0 as defined in \s-1RFC 6979\s0 (see Section 3.2 \*(L"Generation of
k\*(R").  In this case, the \*(L"digest\*(R" parameter must be explicitly set
(otherwise, deterministic nonce generation will fail).  Before using
deterministic digital signature generation, please read \s-1RFC 6979\s0
Section 4 \*(L"Security Considerations\*(R".  The default value for
\&\*(L"nonce-type\*(R" is 0 and results in a random value being used for the
nonce \fBk\fR as defined in \s-1FIPS 186\-4\s0 Section 6.3 \*(L"Secret Number
Generation\*(R".
.ie n .IP """kat"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_KAT\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.el .IP "``kat'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_KAT\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item "kat (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_KAT) <unsigned integer>"
Sets a flag to modify the sign operation to return an error if the initial
calculated signature is invalid.
In the normal mode of operation \- new random values are chosen until the
signature operation succeeds.
By default it retries until a signature is calculated.
Setting the value to 0 causes the sign operation to retry,
otherwise the sign operation is only tried once and returns whether or not it
was successful.
Known answer tests can be performed if the random generator is overridden to
supply known values that either pass or fail.
