NAME

6       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data - API function
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <gnutls/x509.h>
10
11       int       gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t      key,
12       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t   digest,   unsigned   int    flags,    const
13       gnutls_datum_t * data, void * signature, size_t * signature_size);
14

ARGUMENTS

16       gnutls_x509_privkey_t key
17                   Holds the key
18
19       gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest
20                   should be MD5 or SHA1
21
22       unsigned int flags
23                   should be 0 for now
24
25       const gnutls_datum_t * data
26                   holds the data to be signed
27
28       void * signature
29                   will contain the signature
30
31       size_t * signature_size
32                   holds  the  size  of signature (and will be replaced by the
33                   new size)
34

DESCRIPTION

36       This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm sup‐
37       ported  by  the  private  key.  Signature  algorithms  are  always used
38       together with a hash functions.  Different hash functions may  be  used
39       for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-1 for the DSA keys.
40
41       If  the  buffer  provided  is  not long enough to hold the output, then
42       *signature_size is updated  and  GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER  will  be
43       returned.
44
45       Use  gnutls_x509_crt_get_preferred_hash_algorithm()  to  determine  the
46       hash algorithm.
47

RETURNS

49       On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned, otherwise  a  negative  error
50       value.
51

DEPRECATED

53       Use gnutls_privkey_sign_data().
