gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash3
Api function
Usage
#include <gnutls/compat.h>
int gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const gnutls_datum_t * hash, gnutls_datum_t * signature);
Arguments
gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
|
a key |
|---|---|
const gnutls_datum_t * hash
|
holds the data to be signed |
gnutls_datum_t * signature
|
will contain newly allocated signature |
Overview
This function will sign the given hash using the private key. Do not use this function directly unless you know what it is. Typical signing requires the data to be hashed and stored in special formats (e.g. BER Digest-Info for RSA).
This API is provided only for backwards compatibility, and thus restricted to RSA, DSA and ECDSA key types. For other key types please use gnutls_privkey_sign_hash() and gnutls_privkey_sign_data().
Returns
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
