EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA(7ossl)

NAME
EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA - The EVP_PKEY RSA signature implementation

DESCRIPTION
Support for computing RSA signatures. See EVP_PKEY-RSA(7) for information related to RSA keys.

  Signature Parameters
The following signature parameters can be set using EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(). This may be called after EVP_PKEY_sign_init() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init(), and before calling EVP_PKEY_sign() or EVP_PKEY_verify().

"digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
    These common parameters are described in provider-signature(7).

"pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
    The type of padding to be used. Its value can be one of the following:

    "none" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_NONE)
    "pkcs1" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PKCSV15)
    "x931" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_X931)
    "pss" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PSS)
"mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
    The digest algorithm name to use for the maskGenAlgorithm used by "pss" mode.

"mgf1-properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
    Sets the name of the property query associated with the "mgf1-digest" algorithm. NULL is used if this optional value is not set.

"saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>
    The "pss" mode minimum salt length. The value can either be an integer, a string value representing a number or one of the following string values:

    "digest" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_DIGEST)
        Use the same length as the digest size.

    "max" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX)
        Use the maximum salt length.

    "auto" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO)
        Auto detect the salt length.

    "auto-digestmax" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO_DIGEST_MAX)
        Auto detect the salt length when verifying. Maximize the salt length up to the digest size when signing to comply with FIPS 186-4 section 5.5.

The following signature parameters can be retrieved using EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().

"algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>
    This common parameter is described in provider-signature(7).

"digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
"mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
"saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>
    These parameters are as described above.
