EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA

NAME

EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA - The EVP_PKEY RSA signature implementation

DESCRIPTION

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

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

  • "pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>

    The type of padding to be used. Its value can be one of the following:

    • "none" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_NONE)
    • "pkcs1" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PKCSV15)
    • "x931" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_X931)
    • "pss" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PSS)

  • "mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

    The digest algorithm name to use for the maskGenAlgorithm used by "pss" mode.

  • "mgf1-properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>

    Sets the name of the property query associated with the "mgf1-digest" algorithm. NULL is used if this optional value is not set.

  • "saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>

    The "pss" mode minimum salt length. The value can either be an integer, a string value representing a number or one of the following string values:

    • "digest" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_DIGEST)

      Use the same length as the digest size.

    • "max" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX)

      Use the maximum salt length.

    • "auto" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO)

      Auto detect the salt length.

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

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

    This common parameter is described in provider-signature(7).

  • "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

  • "pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
  • "mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>

  • "saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>

    These parameters are as described above.
