#include <gnutls/compat.h>
int gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t * data, void * signature, size_t * signature_size);
Holds the key
should be MD5 or SHA1
should be 0 for now
holds the data to be signed
will contain the signature
holds the size of signature (and will be replaced by the new size)
This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm 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-1 for the DSA keys.
If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then * signature_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned.
Use gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine the hash algorithm.
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
Use gnutls_privkey_sign_data().
