EVP_PKEY_sign(3)		    OpenSSL		      EVP_PKEY_sign(3)

NAME
       EVP_PKEY_sign_init, EVP_PKEY_sign - sign using a public key algorithm

SYNOPSIS
	#include <openssl/evp.h>

	int EVP_PKEY_sign_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx);
	int EVP_PKEY_sign(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx,
			       unsigned char *sig, size_t *siglen,
			       const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);

DESCRIPTION
       The EVP_PKEY_sign_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
       context using key pkey for a signing operation.

       The EVP_PKEY_sign() function performs a public key signing operation
       using ctx. The data to be signed is specified using the tbs and tbslen
       parameters. If sig is NULL then the maximum size of the output buffer
       is written to the siglen parameter. If sig is not NULL then before the
       call the siglen parameter should contain the length of the sig buffer,
       if the call is successful the signature is written to sig and the
       amount of data written to siglen.

NOTES
       After the call to EVP_PKEY_sign_init() algorithm specific control
       operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
       operation.

       The function EVP_PKEY_sign() can be called more than once on the same
       context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.

RETURN VALUES
       EVP_PKEY_sign_init() and EVP_PKEY_sign() return 1 for success and 0 or
       a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2
       indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.

EXAMPLE
       Sign data using RSA with PKCS#1 padding and SHA256 digest:

	#include <openssl/evp.h>
	#include <openssl/rsa.h>

	EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
	unsigned char *md, *sig;
	size_t mdlen, siglen;
	EVP_PKEY *signing_key;
	/* NB: assumes signing_key, md and mdlen are already set up
	 * and that signing_key is an RSA private key
	 */
	ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(signing_key);
	if (!ctx)
	       /* Error occurred */
	if (EVP_PKEY_sign_init(ctx) <= 0)
	       /* Error */
	if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(ctx, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING) <= 0)
	       /* Error */
	if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md(ctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0)
	       /* Error */

	/* Determine buffer length */
	if (EVP_PKEY_sign(ctx, NULL, &siglen, md, mdlen) <= 0)
	       /* Error */

	sig = OPENSSL_malloc(siglen);

	if (!sig)
	       /* malloc failure */

	if (EVP_PKEY_sign(ctx, sig, &siglen, md, mdlen) <= 0)
	       /* Error */

	/* Signature is siglen bytes written to buffer sig */
