=head1 DESCRIPTION
Note: these functions provide a low level interface to ECDSA. Most
applications should use the higher level B<EVP> interface such as
L<EVP_DigestSignInit(3)> or L<EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)> instead.
B<ECDSA_SIG> is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
B<r> and B<s> value of an ECDSA signature (see X9.62 or FIPS 186-2).
ECDSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<ECDSA_SIG> structure. Note: before
OpenSSL 1.1.0 the: the B<r> and B<s> components were initialised.
ECDSA_SIG_free() frees the B<ECDSA_SIG> structure B<sig>.
ECDSA_SIG_get0() returns internal pointers the B<r> and B<s> values contained
in B<sig> and stores them in B<*pr> and B<*ps>, respectively.
The pointer B<pr> or B<ps> can be NULL, in which case the corresponding value
is not returned.
The values B<r>, B<s> can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding
function ECDSA_SIG_get0_r() and ECDSA_SIG_get0_s(), respectively.
The B<r> and B<s> values can be set by calling ECDSA_SIG_set0() and passing the
new values for B<r> and B<s> as parameters to the function. Calling this
function transfers the memory management of the values to the ECDSA_SIG object,
and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
after this function has been called.
i2d_ECDSA_SIG() creates the DER encoding of the ECDSA signature B<sig> and
writes the encoded signature to B<*pp> (note: if B<pp> is NULL i2d_ECDSA_SIG()
returns the expected length in bytes of the DER encoded signature).
i2d_ECDSA_SIG() returns the length of the DER encoded signature (or 0 on
error).
d2i_ECDSA_SIG() decodes a DER encoded ECDSA signature and returns the decoded
signature in a newly allocated B<ECDSA_SIG> structure. B<*sig> points to the
buffer containing the DER encoded signature of size B<len>.
ECDSA_size() returns the maximum length of a DER encoded ECDSA signature
created with the private EC key B<eckey>.
ECDSA_sign() computes a digital signature of the B<dgstlen> bytes hash value
B<dgst> using the private EC key B<eckey>. The DER encoded signatures is
stored in B<sig> and its length is returned in B<sig_len>. Note: B<sig> must
point to ECDSA_size(eckey) bytes of memory. The parameter B<type> is currently
ignored. ECDSA_sign() is wrapper function for ECDSA_sign_ex() with B<kinv>
and B<rp> set to NULL.
ECDSA_do_sign() is similar to ECDSA_sign() except the signature is returned
as a newly allocated B<ECDSA_SIG> structure (or NULL on error). ECDSA_do_sign()
is a wrapper function for ECDSA_do_sign_ex() with B<kinv> and B<rp> set to
NULL.
ECDSA_verify() verifies that the signature in B<sig> of size B<siglen> is a
valid ECDSA signature of the hash value B<dgst> of size B<dgstlen> using the
public key B<eckey>. The parameter B<type> is ignored.
ECDSA_do_verify() is similar to ECDSA_verify() except the signature is
presented in the form of a pointer to an B<ECDSA_SIG> structure.
The remaining functions utilise the internal B<kinv> and B<r> values used
during signature computation. Most applications will never need to call these
and some external ECDSA ENGINE implementations may not support them at all if
either B<kinv> or B<r> is not B<NULL>.
ECDSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute parts of the signing operation.
B<eckey> is the private EC key and B<ctx> is a pointer to B<BN_CTX> structure
(or NULL). The precomputed values or returned in B<kinv> and B<rp> and can be
used in a later call to ECDSA_sign_ex() or ECDSA_do_sign_ex().
ECDSA_sign_ex() computes a digital signature of the B<dgstlen> bytes hash value
B<dgst> using the private EC key B<eckey> and the optional pre-computed values
B<kinv> and B<rp>. The DER encoded signature is stored in B<sig> and its
length is returned in B<sig_len>. Note: B<sig> must point to ECDSA_size(eckey)
bytes of memory. The parameter B<type> is ignored.
ECDSA_do_sign_ex() is similar to ECDSA_sign_ex() except the signature is
returned as a newly allocated B<ECDSA_SIG> structure (or NULL on error).
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ECDSA_SIG_new() returns NULL if the allocation fails.
ECDSA_SIG_set0() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
ECDSA_SIG_get0_r() and ECDSA_SIG_get0_s() return the corresponding value,
or NULL if it is unset.
ECDSA_size() returns the maximum length signature or 0 on error.
ECDSA_sign(), ECDSA_sign_ex() and ECDSA_sign_setup() return 1 if successful
or 0 on error.
ECDSA_do_sign() and ECDSA_do_sign_ex() return a pointer to an allocated
B<ECDSA_SIG> structure or NULL on error.
ECDSA_verify() and ECDSA_do_verify() return 1 for a valid
signature, 0 for an invalid signature and -1 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Creating an ECDSA signature of a given SHA-256 hash value using the
named curve prime256v1 (aka P-256).
First step: create an EC_KEY object (note: this part is B<not> ECDSA
specific)
int ret;
ECDSA_SIG *sig;
EC_KEY *eckey;
eckey = EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(NID_X9_62_prime256v1);
if (eckey == NULL)
/* error */
if (EC_KEY_generate_key(eckey) == 0)
/* error */
Second step: compute the ECDSA signature of a SHA-256 hash value
using ECDSA_do_sign():
sig = ECDSA_do_sign(digest, 32, eckey);
if (sig == NULL)
/* error */
or using ECDSA_sign():
unsigned char *buffer, *pp;
int buf_len;
buf_len = ECDSA_size(eckey);
buffer = OPENSSL_malloc(buf_len);
pp = buffer;
if (ECDSA_sign(0, dgst, dgstlen, pp, &buf_len, eckey) == 0)
/* error */
Third step: verify the created ECDSA signature using ECDSA_do_verify():
ret = ECDSA_do_verify(digest, 32, sig, eckey);
or using ECDSA_verify():
ret = ECDSA_verify(0, digest, 32, buffer, buf_len, eckey);
and finally evaluate the return value:
if (ret == 1)
/* signature ok */
else if (ret == 0)
/* incorrect signature */
else
/* error */
