PKCS #1 v2.0 is the name of a document which specifies an algorithm RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5, often referred to as "PKCS #1 v1.5" after an earlier document which specified it. This gets further confusing because the document PKCS #1 v2.1 specifies two signature algorithms, RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 and RSASSA-PSS. RSA_sign implements RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5. Refer to the document using the RFC number which is easier to find anyway, and refer to the algorithm by its name.

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
RSA_sign, RSA_verify - RSA signatures
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
int RSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len,
|
|
unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa);
|
|
|
|
int RSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len,
|
|
unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
RSA_sign() signs the message digest B<m> of size B<m_len> using the
|
|
private key B<rsa> using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified in RFC 3447. It
|
|
stores the signature in B<sigret> and the signature size in B<siglen>.
|
|
B<sigret> must point to RSA_size(B<rsa>) bytes of memory.
|
|
Note that PKCS #1 adds meta-data, placing limits on the size of the
|
|
key that can be used.
|
|
See L<RSA_private_encrypt(3)> for lower-level
|
|
operations.
|
|
|
|
B<type> denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate
|
|
B<m>.
|
|
If B<type> is B<NID_md5_sha1>,
|
|
an SSL signature (MD5 and SHA1 message digests with PKCS #1 padding
|
|
and no algorithm identifier) is created.
|
|
|
|
RSA_verify() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf> of size B<siglen>
|
|
matches a given message digest B<m> of size B<m_len>. B<type> denotes
|
|
the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the signature.
|
|
B<rsa> is the signer's public key.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
RSA_sign() returns 1 on success.
|
|
RSA_verify() returns 1 on successful verification.
|
|
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
