.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure consists of two BIGNUMs for the
r and s value of a \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature (see X9.62 or \s-1FIPS 186\-2\s0).
.PP
.Vb 5
\& struct
\& {
\& BIGNUM *r;
\& BIGNUM *s;
\& } ECDSA_SIG;
.Ve
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR allocates a new \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure (note: this
function also allocates the BIGNUMs) and initialize it.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_free()\fR frees the \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure \fBsig\fR.
.PP
\&\fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG()\fR creates the \s-1DER\s0 encoding of the \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature
\&\fBsig\fR and writes the encoded signature to \fB*pp\fR (note: if \fBpp\fR
is \s-1NULL\s0 \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR returns the expected length in bytes of
the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature). \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR returns the length
of the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature (or 0 on error).
.PP
\&\fBd2i_ECDSA_SIG()\fR decodes a \s-1DER\s0 encoded \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature and returns
the decoded signature in a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure.
\&\fB*sig\fR points to the buffer containing the \s-1DER\s0 encoded signature
of size \fBlen\fR.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_size()\fR returns the maximum length of a \s-1DER\s0 encoded
\&\s-1ECDSA\s0 signature created with the private \s-1EC\s0 key \fBeckey\fR.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_sign_setup()\fR may be used to precompute parts of the
signing operation. \fBeckey\fR is the private \s-1EC\s0 key and \fBctx\fR
is a pointer to \fB\s-1BN_CTX\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0). The precomputed
values or returned in \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR and can be used in a
later call to \fBECDSA_sign_ex\fR or \fBECDSA_do_sign_ex\fR.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_sign()\fR is wrapper function for ECDSA_sign_ex with \fBkinv\fR
and \fBrp\fR set to \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_sign_ex()\fR computes a digital signature of the \fBdgstlen\fR bytes
hash value \fBdgst\fR using the private \s-1EC\s0 key \fBeckey\fR and the optional
pre-computed values \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR. The \s-1DER\s0 encoded signatures is
stored in \fBsig\fR and it's length is returned in \fBsig_len\fR. Note: \fBsig\fR
must point to \fBECDSA_size\fR bytes of memory. The parameter \fBtype\fR
is ignored.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_verify()\fR verifies that the signature in \fBsig\fR of size
\&\fBsiglen\fR is a valid \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature of the hash value
\&\fBdgst\fR of size \fBdgstlen\fR using the public key \fBeckey\fR.
The parameter \fBtype\fR is ignored.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_sign()\fR is wrapper function for ECDSA_do_sign_ex with \fBkinv\fR
and \fBrp\fR set to \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_sign_ex()\fR computes a digital signature of the \fBdgst_len\fR
bytes hash value \fBdgst\fR using the private key \fBeckey\fR and the
optional pre-computed values \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR. The signature is
returned in a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0 on error).
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_verify()\fR verifies that the signature \fBsig\fR is a valid
\&\s-1ECDSA\s0 signature of the hash value \fBdgst\fR of size \fBdgst_len\fR
using the public key \fBeckey\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 if the allocation fails.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_size()\fR returns the maximum length signature or 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_sign_setup()\fR and \fBECDSA_sign()\fR return 1 if successful or 0
on error.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_verify()\fR and \fBECDSA_do_verify()\fR return 1 for a valid
signature, 0 for an invalid signature and \-1 on error.
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
