.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See \fIprovider\fR\|(7)
for further information.
.PP
The signature (\s-1OSSL_OP_SIGNATURE\s0) operation enables providers to implement
signature algorithms and make them available to applications via the \s-1API\s0
functions \fIEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3),
\&\fIEVP_PKEY_verify\fR\|(3),
and \fIEVP_PKEY_verify_recover\fR\|(3) (as well
as other related functions).
.PP
All \*(L"functions\*(R" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between
\&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \fB\s-1OSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR arrays via
\&\fB\s-1OSSL_ALGORITHM\s0\fR arrays that are returned by the provider's
\&\fIprovider_query_operation()\fR function
(see \*(L"Provider Functions\*(R" in \fIprovider\-base\fR\|(7)).
.PP
All these \*(L"functions\*(R" have a corresponding function type definition
named \fBOSSL_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the
function pointer from an \fB\s-1OSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR element named
\&\fBOSSL_get_{name}\fR.
For example, the \*(L"function\*(R" \fIOP_signature_newctx()\fR has these:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& typedef void *(OSSL_OP_signature_newctx_fn)(void *provctx);
\& static ossl_inline OSSL_OP_signature_newctx_fn
\& OSSL_get_OP_signature_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf);
.Ve
.PP
\&\fB\s-1OSSL_DISPATCH\s0\fR arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as
macros in \fIopenssl\-core_numbers.h\fR\|(7), as follows:

.PP
A signature algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions.
In order to be a consistent set of functions a provider must implement
OP_signature_newctx and OP_signature_freectx.
It must also implement both of OP_signature_sign_init and OP_signature_sign,
or both of OP_signature_verify_init and OP_signature_verify, or both of
OP_signature_verify_recover_init and OP_signature_verify_recover.
All other functions are optional.
.PP
A signature algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating,
loading or importing keys via the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation.
See \fIprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7) for further details.
.SS "Context Management Functions"
.IX Subsection "Context Management Functions"
\&\fIOP_signature_newctx()\fR should create and return a pointer to a provider side
structure for holding context information during a signature operation.
A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other signature
operation function calls.
The parameter \fIprovctx\fR is the provider context generated during provider
initialisation (see \fIprovider\fR\|(7)).
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_freectx()\fR is passed a pointer to the provider side signature
context in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
This function should free any resources associated with that context.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_dupctx()\fR should duplicate the provider side signature context in
the \fIctx\fR parameter and return the duplicate copy.
.SS "Signing Functions"
.IX Subsection "Signing Functions"
\&\fIOP_signature_sign_init()\fR initialises a context for signing given a provider side
signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object
in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fIprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_sign()\fR performs the actual signing itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR
parameter.
The data to be signed is pointed to be the \fItbs\fR parameter which is \fItbslen\fR
bytes long.
Unless \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, the signature should be written to the location pointed
to by the \fIsig\fR parameter and it should not exceed \fIsigsize\fR bytes in length.
The length of the signature should be written to \fI*siglen\fR.
If \fIsig\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum length of the signature should be written to
\&\fI*siglen\fR.
.SS "Verify Functions"
.IX Subsection "Verify Functions"
\&\fIOP_signature_verify_init()\fR initialises a context for verifying a signature given
a provider side signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and a pointer to a
provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fIprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_verify()\fR performs the actual verification itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
The data that the signature covers is pointed to be the \fItbs\fR parameter which
is \fItbslen\fR bytes long.
The signature is pointed to by the \fIsig\fR parameter which is \fIsiglen\fR bytes
long.
.SS "Verify Recover Functions"
.IX Subsection "Verify Recover Functions"
\&\fIOP_signature_verify_recover_init()\fR initialises a context for recovering the
signed data given a provider side signature context in the \fIctx\fR parameter, and
a pointer to a provider key object in the \fIprovkey\fR parameter.
The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into
the provider using the key management (\s-1OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT\s0) operation (see
\&\fIprovider\-keymgmt\fR\|(7)>.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_verify_recover()\fR performs the actual verify recover itself.
A previously initialised signature context is passed in the \fIctx\fR parameter.
The signature is pointed to by the \fIsig\fR parameter which is \fIsiglen\fR bytes
long.
Unless \fIrout\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, the recovered data should be written to the location
pointed to by \fIrout\fR which should not exceed \fIroutsize\fR bytes in length.
The length of the recovered data should be written to \fI*routlen\fR.
If \fIrout\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to
the \fIroutlen\fR parameter.
.SS "Signature Parameters"
.IX Subsection "Signature Parameters"
See \s-1\fIOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by
the \fIOP_signature_get_ctx_params()\fR and \fIOP_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR functions.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_get_ctx_params()\fR gets signature parameters associated with the
given provider side signature context \fIctx\fR and stored them in \fIparams\fR.
\&\fIOP_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR sets the signature parameters associated with the
given provider side signature context \fIctx\fR to \fIparams\fR.
Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set.
.PP
Parameters currently recognised by built-in signature algorithms are as
follows.
Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all signature
algorithms:
.ie n .IP """digest"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST\s0\fR) <\s-1UTF8\s0 string>" 4
.el .IP "``digest'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST\s0\fR) <\s-1UTF8\s0 string>" 4
.IX Item "digest (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>"
Get or sets the name of the digest algorithm used for the input to the signature
functions.
.ie n .IP """digest-size"" (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST_SIZE\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.el .IP "``digest-size'' (\fB\s-1OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST_SIZE\s0\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item "digest-size (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST_SIZE) <unsigned integer>"
Gets or sets the output size of the digest algorithm used for the input to the
signature functions.
The length of the \*(L"digest-size\*(R" parameter should not exceed that of a \fBsize_t\fR.
.PP
\&\fIOP_signature_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \fIOP_signature_settable_ctx_params()\fR get a
constant \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR array that describes the gettable and settable parameters,
i.e. parameters that can be used with \fIOP_signature_get_ctx_params()\fR and
\&\fIOP_signature_set_ctx_params()\fR respectively.
See \s-1\fIOSSL_PARAM\s0\fR\|(3) for the use of \fB\s-1OSSL_PARAM\s0\fR as parameter descriptor.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIOP_signature_newctx()\fR and \fIOP_signature_dupctx()\fR should return the newly created
provider side signature, or \s-1NULL\s0 on failure.
.PP
All other functions should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
