.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \s-1EVP\s0 signature routines are a high level interface to digital
signatures.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SignInit_ex()\fR sets up signing context \fBctx\fR to use digest
\&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBimpl\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized with
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR before calling this function.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SignUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
signature context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
same \fBctx\fR to include additional data.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR signs the data in \fBctx\fR using the private key \fBpkey\fR and
places the signature in \fBsig\fR. \fBsig\fR must be at least EVP_PKEY_size(pkey)
bytes in size. \fBs\fR is an \s-1OUT\s0 paramter, and not used as an \s-1IN\s0 parameter.
The number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the signature)
will be written to the integer at \fBs\fR, at most EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes
will be written.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_SignInit()\fR initializes a signing context \fBctx\fR to use the default
implementation of digest \fBtype\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_size()\fR returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes. The actual
signature returned by \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR may be smaller.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_SignInit_ex()\fR, \fBEVP_SignUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR return 1
for success and 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_size()\fR returns the maximum size of a signature in bytes.
.PP
The error codes can be obtained by \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
Due to the link between message digests and public key algorithms the correct
digest algorithm must be used with the correct public key type. A list of
algorithms and associated public key algorithms appears in
\&\fBEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3).
.PP
When signing with \s-1DSA\s0 private keys the random number generator must be seeded
or the operation will fail. The random number generator does not need to be
seeded for \s-1RSA\s0 signatures.
.PP
The call to \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
This means that calls to \fBEVP_SignUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR can be called
later to digest and sign additional data.
.PP
Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
be cleaned up after use by calling \fBEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR or a memory leak
will occur.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
\&\fBEVP_SignUpdate()\fR could not be made after calling \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR.
.PP
Since the private key is passed in the call to \fBEVP_SignFinal()\fR any error
relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest
combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of
data have been passed through \fBEVP_SignUpdate()\fR.
.PP
It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
.PP
The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_SignDigest*() function.
