If <b>pctx</b> is not NULL, the EVP_PKEY_CTX of the signing operation will be written to <b>*pctx</b>: this can be used to set alternative signing options. Note that any existing value in <b>*pctx</b> is overwritten. The EVP_PKEY_CTX value returned must not be freed directly by the application if <b>ctx</b> is not assigned an EVP_PKEY_CTX value before being passed to EVP_DigestSignInit() (which means the EVP_PKEY_CTX is created inside EVP_DigestSignInit() and it will be freed automatically when the EVP_MD_CTX is freed).</p> <p>The digest <b>type</b> may be NULL if the signing algorithm supports it.</p> <p>No <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> will be created by EVP_DigestSignInit() if the passed <b>ctx</b> has already been assigned one via <a href="../man3/EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx.html">EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(3)</a>. See also <a href="../man7/SM2.html">SM2(7)</a>.</p> <p>Only EVP_PKEY types that support signing can be used with these functions. This includes MAC algorithms where the MAC generation is considered as a form of "signing". Built-in EVP_PKEY types supported by these functions are CMAC, Poly1305, DSA, ECDSA, HMAC, RSA, SipHash, Ed25519 and Ed448.</p> <p>Not all digests can be used for all key types. The following combinations apply.</p> <dl> <dt id="DSA">DSA</dt> <dd> <p>Supports SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512</p> </dd> <dt id="ECDSA">ECDSA</dt> <dd> <p>Supports SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and SM3</p> </dd> <dt id="RSA-with-no-padding">RSA with no padding</dt> <dd> <p>Supports no digests (the digest <b>type</b> must be NULL)</p> </dd> <dt id="RSA-with-X931-padding">RSA with X931 padding</dt> <dd> <p>Supports SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512</p> </dd> <dt id="All-other-RSA-padding-types">All other RSA padding types</dt> <dd> <p>Support SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD5, MD5_SHA1, MD2, MD4, MDC2, SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512</p> </dd> <dt id="Ed25519-and-Ed448">Ed25519 and Ed448</dt> <dd> <p>Support no digests (the digest <b>type</b> must be NULL)</p> </dd> <dt id="HMAC">HMAC</dt> <dd> <p>Supports any digest</p> </dd> <dt id="CMAC-Poly1305-and-SipHash">CMAC, Poly1305 and SipHash</dt> <dd> <p>Will ignore any digest provided.</p> </dd> </dl> <p>If RSA-PSS is used and restrictions apply then the digest must match.</p> <p>EVP_DigestSignUpdate() hashes <b>cnt</b> bytes of data at <b>d</b> into the signature context <b>ctx</b>. This function can be called several times on the same <b>ctx</b> to include additional data. This function is currently implemented using a macro.</p> <p>EVP_DigestSignFinal() signs the data in <b>ctx</b> and places the signature in <b>sig</b>. If <b>sig</b> is <b>NULL</b> then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the <b>siglen</b> parameter. If <b>sig</b> is not <b>NULL</b> then before the call the <b>siglen</b> parameter should contain the length of the <b>sig</b> buffer. If the call is successful the signature is written to <b>sig</b> and the amount of data written to <b>siglen</b>.</p> <p>EVP_DigestSign() signs <b>tbslen</b> bytes of data at <b>tbs</b> and places the signature in <b>sig</b> and its length in <b>siglen</b> in a similar way to EVP_DigestSignFinal().</p> <h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1> <p>EVP_DigestSignInit(), EVP_DigestSignUpdate(), EVP_DigestSignFinal() and EVP_DigestSign() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p> <p>The error codes can be obtained from <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p> <h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1> <p>The <b>EVP</b> 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.</p> <p>EVP_DigestSign() is a one shot operation which signs a single block of data in one function. For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent to calling EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and EVP_DigestSignFinal(). For algorithms which do not support streaming (e.g. PureEdDSA) it is the only way to sign data.</p> <p>In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types and public key algorithms. This meant that "clone" digests such as EVP_dss1() needed to be used to sign using SHA1 and DSA. This is no longer necessary and the use of clone digest is now discouraged.</p> <p>For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see <a href="../man7/RAND.html">RAND(7)</a>), the operation will fail.</p> <p>The call to EVP_DigestSignFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. This means that calls to EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and EVP_DigestSignFinal() can be called later to digest and sign additional data.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>The use of EVP_PKEY_size() with these functions is discouraged because some signature operations may have a signature length which depends on the parameters set. As a result EVP_PKEY_size() would have to return a value which indicates the maximum possible signature for any set of parameters.</p> <h1 id="SEE-ALSO">SEE ALSO</h1> <p><a href="../man3/EVP_DigestVerifyInit.html">EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_DigestInit.html">EVP_DigestInit(3)</a>, <a href="../man7/evp.html">evp(7)</a>, <a href="../man3/HMAC.html">HMAC(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/MD2.html">MD2(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/MD5.html">MD5(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/MDC2.html">MDC2(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/RIPEMD160.html">RIPEMD160(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/SHA1.html">SHA1(3)</a>, <a href="../man1/dgst.html">dgst(1)</a>, <a href="../man7/RAND.html">RAND(7)</a></p> <h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1> <p>EVP_DigestSignInit(), EVP_DigestSignUpdate() and EVP_DigestSignFinal() were added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.</p> <h1 id="COPYRIGHT">COPYRIGHT</h1> <p>Copyright 2006-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
