NAMEEVP_SignInit, EVP_SignInit_ex, EVP_SignUpdate, EVP_SignFinal − EVP signing functions
SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_SignInit_ex(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *impl);
int EVP_SignUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
int EVP_SignFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sig, unsigned int *s, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
void EVP_SignInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);
DESCRIPTIONThe EVP signature routines are a high-level interface to digital signatures. EVP_SignInit_ex() sets up signing context ctx to use digest type from ENGINE impl. ctx must be created with EVP_MD_CTX_new() before calling this function. EVP_SignUpdate() hashes cnt bytes of data at d into the signature context ctx. This function can be called several times on the same ctx to include additional data. EVP_SignFinal() signs the data in ctx using the private key pkey and places the signature in sig. sig must be at least EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes in size. s is an OUT parameter, and not used as an IN parameter. The number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the signature) will be written to the integer at s, at most EVP_PKEY_size(pkey) bytes will be written. EVP_SignInit() initializes a signing context ctx to use the default implementation of digest type.
RETURN VALUESEVP_SignInit_ex(), EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error (3).
NOTESThe EVP 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. When signing with DSA private keys the random number generator must be seeded. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see RAND (7)), the operation will fail. This requirement does not hold for RSA signatures. The call to EVP_SignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. This means that calls to EVP_SignUpdate() and EVP_SignFinal() can be called later to digest and sign additional data. Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_free() or a memory leak will occur.
BUGSOlder versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to EVP_SignUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_SignFinal(). Since the private key is passed in the call to EVP_SignFinal() 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 EVP_SignUpdate(). It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function. The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_SignDigest*() function.
