sec_psm_sign_data(3sec)

Synopsis

#include <dce/sec_pk_base.h>

error_status_t sec_psm_sign_data(

sec_psm_handle_t psm_handle,

sec_pk_algorithm_id_t *signature_alg_id,

sec_pk_usage_flags_t key_usage,

sec_pk_gen_data_t *data,

unsigned32 *kvno,

sec_pk_signed_t *signature,

error_status_t *status_t);

Parameters

Input

psm_handle
A pointer to an opaque handle to the personal security context data. Use sec_psm_open( ) to obtain the handle.

signature_alg_id
The ASN.1 DER-encoded object ID of the signature algorithm. MD5WithRSAEncryption is the only algorithm ID currently supported.

key_usage
A sec_pk_usage_flags_t that contains the usage flag of the private key to be used in this operation.

data
A pointer to the ASN.1 DER-encoded data to be signed.

Output

kvno
The version of the key being used.

signature
A pointer to the computed signature.

status_t
A pointer to the completion status. On successful completion, the routine returns error_status_ok. Otherwise, it returns an error.

Description

The sec_psm_sign_data( ) routine computes the signature of input data by using the signature algorithm specified by signature_alg_id. This routine allocates memory for the returned signed data. Call the sec_pk_data_free( ) routine to deallocate that memory.

Files

/usr/include/dce/sec_pk_base.idl
