  162. \&\fBX509_sign()\fR signs certificate \fIx\fR using private key \fIpkey\fR and message
  163. digest \fImd\fR and sets the signature in \fIx\fR. \fBX509_sign_ctx()\fR also signs
  164. certificate \fIx\fR but uses the parameters contained in digest context \fIctx\fR.
  165. If the certificate information includes X.509 extensions,
  166. these two functions make sure that the certificate bears X.509 version 3.

  170. sign certificate requests and CRLs, respectively.

  172. .IX Header "NOTES"
  173. \&\fBX509_sign_ctx()\fR is used where the default parameters for the corresponding
  174. public key and digest are not suitable. It can be used to sign keys using
  175. RSA-PSS for example.
  176. .PP
  177. For efficiency reasons and to work around \s-1ASN.1\s0 encoding issues the encoding
  178. of the signed portion of a certificate, certificate request and \s-1CRL\s0 is cached
  179. internally. If the signed portion of the structure is modified the encoding
  180. is not always updated meaning a stale version is sometimes used. This is not
  181. normally a problem because modifying the signed portion will invalidate the
  182. signature and signing will always update the encoding.
  183. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
