=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 a new B<ECDSA_SIG> structure (note: this
|
|
function also allocates the BIGNUMs) and initializes it.
|
|
|
|
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>. The values can then be examined or initialised.
|
|
|
|
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 it's 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 signatures is stored in B<sig> and it's
|
|
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_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 a 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 */
|
|
}
