|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch, EVP_SIGNATURE_free, EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref,
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_provider
|
|
- Functions to manage EVP_SIGNATURE algorithm objects
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE *EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch(OPENSSL_CTX *ctx, const char *algorithm,
|
|
const char *properties);
|
|
void EVP_SIGNATURE_free(EVP_SIGNATURE *signature);
|
|
int EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref(EVP_SIGNATURE *signature);
|
|
OSSL_PROVIDER *EVP_SIGNATURE_provider(const EVP_SIGNATURE *signature);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch() fetches the implementation for the given
|
|
B<algorithm> from any provider offering it, within the criteria given
|
|
by the B<properties>.
|
|
The algorithm will be one offering functions for performing signature related
|
|
tasks such as signing and verifying.
|
|
See L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms> for further information.
|
|
|
|
The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_SIGNATURE_free().
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_SIGNATURE>
|
|
structure. Typically this structure will have been obtained from an earlier call
|
|
to EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch(). If the reference count drops to 0 then the
|
|
structure is freed.
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref() increments the reference count for an B<EVP_SIGNATURE>
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_provider() returns the provider that I<signature> was fetched from.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_fetch() returns a pointer to an B<EVP_SIGNATURE> for success
|
|
or B<NULL> for failure.
|
|
|
|
EVP_SIGNATURE_up_ref() returns 1 for success or 0 otherwise.
