  156. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  157. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init()\fR initializes a public key algorithm context \fIctx\fR for
  158. signing using the algorithm given when the context was created
  159. using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3) or variants thereof. The algorithm is used to
  160. fetch a \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR method implicitly, see \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
  161. for more information about implicit fetches.
  162. .PP
  163. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex()\fR is the same as \fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init()\fR but additionally
  164. sets the passed parameters \fIparams\fR on the context before returning.
  165. .PP
  166. The \fBEVP_PKEY_sign()\fR function performs a public key signing operation
  167. using \fIctx\fR. The data to be signed is specified using the \fItbs\fR and
  168. \&\fItbslen\fR parameters. If \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum size of the output
  169. buffer is written to the \fIsiglen\fR parameter. If \fIsig\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 then
  170. before the call the \fIsiglen\fR parameter should contain the length of the
  171. \&\fIsig\fR buffer, if the call is successful the signature is written to
  172. \&\fIsig\fR and the amount of data written to \fIsiglen\fR.
  173. .SH "NOTES"
  174. .IX Header "NOTES"
  175. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign()\fR does not hash the data to be signed, and therefore is
  176. normally used to sign digests. For signing arbitrary messages, see the
  177. \&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit\fR\|(3) and
  178. \&\fBEVP_SignInit\fR\|(3) signing interfaces instead.
  179. .PP
  180. After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init()\fR algorithm specific control
  181. operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
  182. operation (see \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_ctrl\fR\|(3)).
  183. .PP
  184. The function \fBEVP_PKEY_sign()\fR can be called more than once on the same
  185. context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
  186. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  187. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  188. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_sign()\fR return 1 for success and 0
  189. or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of \-2
  190. indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
