DESCRIPTION

40       X509_get0_signature() sets *psig to the signature of x and *palg to the
41       signature algorithm of x. The values returned are internal pointers
42       which MUST NOT be freed up after the call.
43
44       X509_get0_tbs_sigalg() returns the signature algorithm in the signed
45       portion of x.
46
47       X509_get_signature_nid() returns the NID corresponding to the signature
48       algorithm of x.
49
50       X509_REQ_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid()
51       X509_CRL_get0_signature() and X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() perform the
52       same function for certificate requests and CRLs.
53
54       X509_get_signature_info() retrieves information about the signature of
55       certificate x. The NID of the signing digest is written to *mdnid, the
56       public key algorithm to *pknid, the effective security bits to *secbits
57       and flag details to *flags. Any of the parameters can be set to NULL if
58       the information is not required.
59
60       X509_SIG_INFO_get() and X509_SIG_INFO_set() get and set information
61       about a signature in an X509_SIG_INFO structure. They are only used by
62       implementations of algorithms which need to set custom signature
63       information: most applications will never need to call them.
64

NOTES

66       These functions provide lower level access to signatures in
67       certificates where an application wishes to analyse or generate a
68       signature in a form where X509_sign() et al is not appropriate (for
69       example a non standard or unsupported format).
70
71       The security bits returned by X509_get_signature_info() refers to
72       information available from the certificate signature (such as the
73       signing digest). In some cases the actual security of the signature is
74       less because the signing key is less secure: for example a certificate
75       signed using SHA-512 and a 1024 bit RSA key.
76

RETURN VALUES

78       X509_get_signature_nid(), X509_REQ_get_signature_nid() and
79       X509_CRL_get_signature_nid() return a NID.
80
81       X509_get0_signature(), X509_REQ_get0_signature() and
82       X509_CRL_get0_signature() do not return values.
83
84       X509_get_signature_info() returns 1 if the signature information
85       returned is valid or 0 if the information is not available (e.g.
86       unknown algorithms or malformed parameters).
