gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2(3) gnutls gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2(3)
NAME
gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2 - API function
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>
gnutls_privkey_sign_hash2(3) signer,
gnutls_sign_algorithm_t algo, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t
* hash_data, gnutls_datum_t * signature);
ARGUMENTS
gnutls_privkey_t signer
Holds the signer's key
gnutls_sign_algorithm_t algo
The signature algorithm used
unsigned int flags
Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t
const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data
holds the data to be signed
gnutls_datum_t * signature
will contain newly allocated signature
DESCRIPTION
This function will sign the given hashed data using a signature algo-
rithm supported by the private key. Signature algorithms are always
used together with a hash functions. Different hash functions may be
used for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-XXX for the DSA keys.
You may use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine
the hash algorithm.
The flags may be GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA or
GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_RSA_PSS. In the former case this function
will ignore hash_algo and perform a raw PKCS1 signature, and in the
latter an RSA-PSS signature will be generated. Note that the flag
GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA is supported since 3.6.9.
Note that, not all algorithm support signing already hashed data. When
signing with Ed25519, gnutls_privkey_sign_data() should be used.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative
error value.
SINCE
3.6.0
