EVP_SIGNATURE-ECDSA

NAME

EVP_SIGNATURE-ECDSA - The EVP_PKEY ECDSA signature implementation.

DESCRIPTION

Support for computing ECDSA signatures. See EVP_PKEY-EC(7) for information related to EC keys.

ECDSA Signature Parameters

The following signature parameters can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(). This may be called after EVP_PKEY_sign_init() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init(), and before calling EVP_PKEY_sign() or EVP_PKEY_verify().

  • "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

  • "properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>

    These parameters are described in provider-signature(7).

The following signature parameters can be retrieved using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().

  • "algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>

  • "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

    The parameters are described in provider-signature(7).
