| 23 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | X509_sign() signs certificate I<x> using private key I<pkey> and message
|
|---|
| 26 | digest I<md> and sets the signature in I<x>. X509_sign_ctx() also signs
|
|---|
| 27 | certificate I<x> but uses the parameters contained in digest context I<ctx>.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | X509_REQ_sign(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx(),
|
|---|
| 30 | X509_CRL_sign(), and X509_CRL_sign_ctx()
|
|---|
| 31 | sign certificate requests and CRLs, respectively.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | =head1 NOTES
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | X509_sign_ctx() is used where the default parameters for the corresponding
|
|---|
| 36 | public key and digest are not suitable. It can be used to sign keys using
|
|---|
| 37 | RSA-PSS for example.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | For efficiency reasons and to work around ASN.1 encoding issues the encoding
|
|---|
| 40 | of the signed portion of a certificate, certificate request and CRL is cached
|
|---|
| 41 | internally. If the signed portion of the structure is modified the encoding
|
|---|
| 42 | is not always updated meaning a stale version is sometimes used. This is not
|
|---|
| 43 | normally a problem because modifying the signed portion will invalidate the
|
|---|
| 44 | signature and signing will always update the encoding.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | =head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | All functions return the size of the signature
|
|---|
| 49 | in bytes for success and zero for failure.

| 61 | =head1 HISTORY
|
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 | The X509_sign(), X509_REQ_sign() and X509_CRL_sign() functions are
|
|---|
| 64 | available in all versions of OpenSSL.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 | The X509_sign_ctx(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx()
|
|---|
| 67 | and X509_CRL_sign_ctx() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.0.1.
