While stereotyped repetitions are frowned upon in literature, they serve a useful purpose in manual pages, because it is easier for the user to find certain information if it is always presented in the same way. For that reason, this commit harmonizes the varying formulations in the HISTORY section about which functions, flags, etc. were added in which OpenSSL version. It also attempts to make the pod files more grep friendly by avoiding to insert line breaks between the symbol names and the corresponding version number in which they were introduced (wherever possible). Some punctuation and typographical errors were fixed on the way. Reviewed-by: Tim Hudson <tjh@openssl.org> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/7854)

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
X509_get0_signature() sets B<*psig> to the signature of B<x> and B<*palg>
|
|
to the signature algorithm of B<x>. The values returned are internal
|
|
pointers which B<MUST NOT> be freed up after the call.
|
|
|
|
X509_get0_tbs_sigalg() returns the signature algorithm in the signed
|
|
portion of B<x>.
|
|
|
|
X509_get_signature_nid() returns the NID corresponding to the signature
|
|
algorithm of B<x>.
|
|
|
|
X509_REQ_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid()
|
|
X509_CRL_get0_signature() and X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() perform the
|
|
same function for certificate requests and CRLs.
|
|
|
|
X509_get_signature_info() retrieves information about the signature of
|
|
certificate B<x>. The NID of the signing digest is written to B<*mdnid>,
|
|
the public key algorithm to B<*pknid>, the effective security bits to
|
|
B<*secbits> and flag details to B<*flags>. Any of the parameters can
|
|
be set to B<NULL> if the information is not required.
|
|
|
|
X509_SIG_INFO_get() and X509_SIG_INFO_set() get and set information
|
|
about a signature in an B<X509_SIG_INFO> structure. They are only
|
|
used by implementations of algorithms which need to set custom
|
|
signature information: most applications will never need to call
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
These functions provide lower level access to signatures in certificates
|
|
where an application wishes to analyse or generate a signature in a form
|
|
where X509_sign() et al is not appropriate (for example a non standard
|
|
or unsupported format).
|
|
|
|
The security bits returned by X509_get_signature_info() refers to information
|
|
available from the certificate signature (such as the signing digest). In some
|
|
cases the actual security of the signature is less because the signing
|
|
key is less secure: for example a certificate signed using SHA-512 and a
|
|
1024 bit RSA key.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
X509_get_signature_nid(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid() and
|
|
X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() return a NID.
|
|
|
|
X509_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get0_signature() and
|
|
X509_CRL_get0_signature() do not return values.
|
|
|
|
X509_get_signature_info() returns 1 if the signature information
|
|
returned is valid or 0 if the information is not available (e.g.
|
|
unknown algorithms or malformed parameters).
