Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "RSA_sign 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
RSA_sign, RSA_verify - RSA signatures Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/rsa.h> .Ve

The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros\|(7):

.Vb 2 int RSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa); \& int RSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa); .Ve

Header "DESCRIPTION" All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_sign_init\|(3), EVP_PKEY_sign\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init\|(3) and EVP_PKEY_verify\|(3).

\fBRSA_sign() signs the message digest m of size m_len using the private key rsa using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified in RFC 3447. It stores the signature in sigret and the signature size in siglen. \fBsigret must point to RSA_size(rsa) bytes of memory. Note that PKCS #1 adds meta-data, placing limits on the size of the key that can be used. See RSA_private_encrypt\|(3) for lower-level operations.

\fBtype denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate \fBm. If type is NID_md5_sha1, an SSL signature (MD5 and SHA1 message digests with PKCS #1 padding and no algorithm identifier) is created.

\fBRSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches a given message digest m of size m_len. type denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the signature. \fBrsa is the signer's public key.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBRSA_sign() returns 1 on success and 0 for failure. \fBRSA_verify() returns 1 on successful verification and 0 for failure.

The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error\|(3).

Header "CONFORMING TO" SSL, PKCS #1 v2.0 Header "SEE ALSO" \fBERR_get_error\|(3), \fBRSA_private_encrypt\|(3), \fBRSA_public_decrypt\|(3) Header "HISTORY" All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0. Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2000-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
