DESCRIPTION
This documentation is primarily aimed at provider authors. See provider(7) for further information. The signature (OSSL_OP_SIGNATURE) operation enables providers to implement signature algorithms and make them available to applications via the API functions EVP_PKEY_sign(3), EVP_PKEY_verify(3), and EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(3) (as well as other related functions). All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between libcrypto and the provider in OSSL_DISPATCH(3) arrays via OSSL_ALGORITHM(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's provider_query_operation() function (see "Provider Functions" in provider-base(7)). All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named OSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from an OSSL_DISPATCH(3) element named OSSL_FUNC_{name}. For example, the "function" OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx() has these: typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx_fn)(void *provctx, const char *propq); static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx_fn OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); OSSL_DISPATCH(3) arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in openssl-core_dispatch.h(7), as follows: OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_NEWCTX OSSL_FUNC_signature_freectx OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_FREECTX OSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DUPCTX OSSL_FUNC_signature_query_key_types OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_QUERY_KEY_TYPES OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SIGN_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SIGN OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SIGN_MESSAGE_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_update OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SIGN_MESSAGE_UPDATE OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_final OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SIGN_MESSAGE_FINAL OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_MESSAGE_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_update OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_MESSAGE_UPDATE OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_final OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_MESSAGE_FINAL OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_RECOVER_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_VERIFY_RECOVER OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_SIGN_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_SIGN_UPDATE OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_final OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_SIGN_FINAL OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_SIGN OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_init OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_VERIFY_INIT OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_update OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_VERIFY_UPDATE OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_final OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_VERIFY_FINAL OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_DIGEST_VERIFY OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_GET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SET_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_md_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_GET_CTX_MD_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_md_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_GETTABLE_CTX_MD_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_md_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SET_CTX_MD_PARAMS OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_md_params OSSL_FUNC_SIGNATURE_SETTABLE_CTX_MD_PARAMS A signature algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions. In order to be a consistent set of functions we must have at least a set of context functions (OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx and OSSL_FUNC_signature_freectx) as well as a set of "signature" functions, i.e. at least one of: OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_init, OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_update and OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_final OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_init, OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_update and OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_final OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_init, OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_final OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_init, OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_update and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_final OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_init and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params and OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params are optional, but if one of them is present then the other one must also be present. The same applies to OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params and OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_params, as well as the "md_params" functions. The OSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx function is optional. A signature algorithm must also implement some mechanism for generating, loading or importing keys via the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation. See provider-keymgmt(7) for further details. Context Management Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx() 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 provctx is the provider context generated during provider initialisation (see provider(7)). The propq parameter is a property query string that may be (optionally) used by the provider during any "fetches" that it may perform (if it performs any). OSSL_FUNC_signature_freectx() is passed a pointer to the provider side signature context in the ctx parameter. This function should free any resources associated with that context. OSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx() should duplicate the provider side signature context in the ctx parameter and return the duplicate copy. Signing Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_init() initialises a context for signing given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign() performs the actual signing itself. A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. The data to be signed is pointed to be the tbs parameter which is tbslen bytes long. Unless sig is NULL, the signature should be written to the location pointed to by the sig parameter and it should not exceed sigsize bytes in length. The length of the signature should be written to *siglen. If sig is NULL then the maximum length of the signature should be written to *siglen. Message Signing Functions These functions are suitable for providers that implement algorithms that accumulate a full message and sign the result of that accumulation, such as RSA-SHA256. OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_init() initialises a context for signing a message given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_update() gathers the data pointed at by in, which is inlen bytes long. OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_final() performs the actual signing on the data that was gathered with OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_update(). OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign() can be used for one-shot signature calls. In that case, tbs is expected to be the whole message to be signed, tbslen bytes long. For both OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_message_final() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign(), if sig is not NULL, the signature should be written to the location pointed to by sig, and it should not exceed sigsize bytes in length. The length of the signature should be written to *siglen. If sig is NULL then the maximum length of the signature should be written to *siglen. Verify Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_init() initialises a context for verifying a signature given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify() performs the actual verification itself. A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. The data that the signature covers is pointed to be the tbs parameter which is tbslen bytes long. The signature is pointed to by the sig parameter which is siglen bytes long. Message Verify Functions These functions are suitable for providers that implement algorithms that accumulate a full message and verify a signature on the result of that accumulation, such as RSA-SHA256. OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_init() initialises a context for verifying a signature on a message given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_update() gathers the data pointed at by in, which is inlen bytes long. OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_final() performs the actual verification on the data that was gathered with OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_update(). The signature itself must have been passed through the "signature" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_SIGNATURE) Signature parameter before this function is called. OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify() can be used for one-shot verification calls. In that case, tbs is expected to be the whole message to be verified on, tbslen bytes long. Verify Recover Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover_init() initialises a context for recovering the signed data given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_recover() performs the actual verify recover itself. A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. The signature is pointed to by the sig parameter which is siglen bytes long. Unless rout is NULL, the recovered data should be written to the location pointed to by rout which should not exceed routsize bytes in length. The length of the recovered data should be written to *routlen. If rout is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the routlen parameter. Digest Sign Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_init() initialises a context for signing given a provider side signature context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_md_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). The name of the digest to be used will be in the mdname parameter. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update() provides data to be signed in the data parameter which should be of length datalen. A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. This function may be called multiple times to cumulatively add data to be signed. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_final() finalises a signature operation previously started through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_init() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update() calls. Once finalised no more data will be added through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign_update(). A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. Unless sig is NULL, the signature should be written to the location pointed to by the sig parameter and it should not exceed sigsize bytes in length. The length of the signature should be written to *siglen. If sig is NULL then the maximum length of the signature should be written to *siglen. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_sign() implements a "one shot" digest sign operation previously started through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digeset_sign_init(). A previously initialised signature context is passed in the ctx parameter. The data to be signed is in tbs which should be tbslen bytes long. Unless sig is NULL, the signature should be written to the location pointed to by the sig parameter and it should not exceed sigsize bytes in length. The length of the signature should be written to *siglen. If sig is NULL then the maximum length of the signature should be written to *siglen. Digest Verify Functions OSSL_FUNC_signature_digeset_verify_init() initialises a context for verifying given a provider side verification context in the ctx parameter, and a pointer to a provider key object in the provkey parameter. The params, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_md_params(). The key object should have been previously generated, loaded or imported into the provider using the key management (OSSL_OP_KEYMGMT) operation (see provider-keymgmt(7)). The name of the digest to be used will be in the mdname parameter. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_update() provides data to be verified in the data parameter which should be of length datalen. A previously initialised verification context is passed in the ctx parameter. This function may be called multiple times to cumulatively add data to be verified. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_final() finalises a verification operation previously started through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_init() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_update() calls. Once finalised no more data will be added through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify_update(). A previously initialised verification context is passed in the ctx parameter. The signature to be verified is in sig which is siglen bytes long. OSSL_FUNC_signature_digest_verify() implements a "one shot" digest verify operation previously started through OSSL_FUNC_signature_digeset_verify_init(). A previously initialised verification context is passed in the ctx parameter. The data to be verified is in tbs which should be tbslen bytes long. The signature to be verified is in sig which is siglen bytes long. Signature parameters See OSSL_PARAM(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by the OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params() functions. OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params() gets signature parameters associated with the given provider side signature context ctx and stored them in params. Passing NULL for params should return true. OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params() sets the signature parameters associated with the given provider side signature context ctx to params. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. Passing NULL for params should return true. Common parameters currently recognised by built-in signature algorithms are as follows. "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string> Get or sets the name of the digest algorithm used for the input to the signature functions. It is required in order to calculate the "algorithm-id". "properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string> Sets the name of the property query associated with the "digest" algorithm. NULL is used if this optional value is not set. Note that when implementing a signature algorithm that gathers a full message, like RSA-SHA256, the "digest" and "properties" parameters should not be used. For such implementations, it's acceptable to simply ignore them if they happen to be passed in a call to OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params(). For such implementations, however, it is not acceptable to have them in the OSSL_PARAM array that's returned by OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params(). "signature" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_SIGNATURE) <octet string> Sets the signature to verify, specifically when OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_message_final() is used. "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 "digest-size" parameter should not exceed that of a size_t. "algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string> Gets the DER encoded AlgorithmIdentifier that corresponds to the combination of signature algorithm and digest algorithm for the signature operation. "nonce-type" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer> Set this to 1 to use deterministic digital signature generation with ECDSA or DSA, as defined in RFC 6979 (see Section 3.2 "Generation of k"). In this case, the "digest" parameter must be explicitly set (otherwise, deterministic nonce generation will fail). Before using deterministic digital signature generation, please read RFC 6979 Section 4 "Security Considerations". The default value for "nonce-type" is 0 and results in a random value being used for the nonce k as defined in FIPS 186-4 Section 6.3 "Secret Number Generation". "kat" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_KAT) <unsigned integer> Sets a flag to modify the sign operation to return an error if the initial calculated signature is invalid. In the normal mode of operation - new random values are chosen until the signature operation succeeds. By default it retries until a signature is calculated. Setting the value to 0 causes the sign operation to retry, otherwise the sign operation is only tried once and returns whether or not it was successful. Known answer tests can be performed if the random generator is overridden to supply known values that either pass or fail. The following parameters are used by the OpenSSL FIPS provider: "fips-indicator" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer> A getter that returns 1 if the operation is FIPS approved, or 0 otherwise. This may be used after calling either the sign or verify final functions. It may return 0 if either the "digest- check", "key-check", or "sign-check" are set to 0. "verify-message" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_VERIFY_MESSAGE <integer> A getter that returns 1 if a signature verification operation acted on a raw message, or 0 if it verified a predigested message. A value of 0 indicates likely non-approved usage of the FIPS provider. This flag is set when any signature verification initialisation function is called. It is also set to 1 when any signing operation is performed to signify compliance. See FIPS 140-3 IG 2.4.B for further information. "key-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer> If required this parameter should be set early via an init function (e.g. OSSL_FUNC_signature_sign_init() or OSSL_FUNC_signature_verify_init()). The default value of 1 causes an error during the init if the key is not FIPS approved (e.g. The key has a security strength of less than 112 bits). Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "indicator" to 0. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips- indicator" to return 0. "digest-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer> If required this parameter should be set before the signature digest is set. The default value of 1 causes an error when the digest is set if the digest is not FIPS approved (e.g. SHA1 is used for signing). Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator" to return 0. "sign-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_SIGN_CHECK) <integer> If required this parameter should be set early via an init function. The default value of 1 causes an error when a signing algorithm is used. (This is triggered by deprecated signing algorithms). Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips-indicator" to return 0. "sign-x931-pad-check" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_SIGN_X931_PAD_CHECK) <integer> If required this parameter should be set before the padding mode is set. The default value of 1 causes an error if the padding mode is set to X9.31 padding for a RSA signing operation. Setting this to 0 will ignore the error and set the approved "fips-indicator" to 0. This option breaks FIPS compliance if it causes the approved "fips- indicator" to return 0. OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params() get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the gettable and settable parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ctx_params() respectively. MD parameters See OSSL_PARAM(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by the OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_md_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_md_ctx_params() functions. OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_md_ctx_params() gets digest parameters associated with the given provider side digest signature context ctx and stores them in params. Passing NULL for params should return true. OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_ms_ctx_params() sets the digest parameters associated with the given provider side digest signature context ctx to params. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. Passing NULL for params should return true. Parameters currently recognised by built-in signature algorithms are the same as those for built-in digest algorithms. See "Digest Parameters" in provider-digest(7) for further information. OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_md_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_md_ctx_params() get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the gettable and settable digest parameters, i.e. parameters that can be used with OSSL_FUNC_signature_get_md_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_set_md_ctx_params() respectively.
RETURN VALUES
OSSL_FUNC_signature_newctx() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_dupctx() should return the newly created provider side signature context, or NULL on failure. OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_ctx_params(), OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_ctx_params(), OSSL_FUNC_signature_gettable_md_ctx_params() and OSSL_FUNC_signature_settable_md_ctx_params(), return the gettable or settable parameters in a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array. All other functions should return 1 for success or 0 on error.
