.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Note: these functions provide a low-level interface to \s-1ECDSA.\s0 Most
applications should use the higher level \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface such as
\&\fBEVP_DigestSignInit\fR\|(3) or \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit\fR\|(3) instead.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
\&\fBr\fR and \fBs\fR value of an \s-1ECDSA\s0 signature (see X9.62 or \s-1FIPS 186\-2\s0).
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR allocates an empty \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure. Note: before
OpenSSL 1.1.0 the: the \fBr\fR and \fBs\fR components were initialised.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_free()\fR frees the \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure \fBsig\fR.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0()\fR returns internal pointers the \fBr\fR and \fBs\fR values contained
in \fBsig\fR and stores them in \fB*pr\fR and \fB*ps\fR, respectively.
The pointer \fBpr\fR or \fBps\fR can be \s-1NULL,\s0 in which case the corresponding value
is not returned.
.PP
The values \fBr\fR, \fBs\fR can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding
function \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR, respectively.
.PP
The \fBr\fR and \fBs\fR values can be set by calling \fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR and passing the
new values for \fBr\fR and \fBs\fR as parameters to the function. Calling this
function transfers the memory management of the values to the \s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0 object,
and therefore the values that have been passed in should not be freed directly
after this function has been called.
.PP
See \fBi2d_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) and \fBd2i_ECDSA_SIG\fR\|(3) for information about encoding
and decoding \s-1ECDSA\s0 signatures to/from \s-1DER.\s0
.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()\fR computes a digital signature of the \fBdgstlen\fR bytes hash value
\&\fBdgst\fR using the private \s-1EC\s0 key \fBeckey\fR. The \s-1DER\s0 encoded signatures is
stored in \fBsig\fR and its length is returned in \fBsig_len\fR. Note: \fBsig\fR must
point to ECDSA_size(eckey) bytes of memory. The parameter \fBtype\fR is currently
ignored. \fBECDSA_sign()\fR is wrapper function for \fBECDSA_sign_ex()\fR with \fBkinv\fR
and \fBrp\fR set to \s-1NULL.\s0
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_sign()\fR is similar to \fBECDSA_sign()\fR except the signature is returned
as a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0 on error). \fBECDSA_do_sign()\fR
is a wrapper function for \fBECDSA_do_sign_ex()\fR with \fBkinv\fR and \fBrp\fR set to
\&\s-1NULL.\s0
.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_verify()\fR is similar to \fBECDSA_verify()\fR except the signature is
presented in the form of a pointer to an \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure.
.PP
The remaining functions utilise the internal \fBkinv\fR and \fBr\fR values used
during signature computation. Most applications will never need to call these
and some external \s-1ECDSA ENGINE\s0 implementations may not support them at all if
either \fBkinv\fR or \fBr\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\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_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 signature is stored in \fBsig\fR and its
length is returned in \fBsig_len\fR. Note: \fBsig\fR must point to ECDSA_size(eckey)
bytes of memory. The parameter \fBtype\fR is ignored.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_sign_ex()\fR is similar to \fBECDSA_sign_ex()\fR except the signature is
returned as a newly allocated \fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure (or \s-1NULL\s0 on error).
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_new()\fR returns \s-1NULL\s0 if the allocation fails.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_set0()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on failure.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_SIG_get0_r()\fR and \fBECDSA_SIG_get0_s()\fR return the corresponding value,
or \s-1NULL\s0 if it is unset.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_size()\fR returns the maximum length signature or 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_sign()\fR, \fBECDSA_sign_ex()\fR and \fBECDSA_sign_setup()\fR return 1 if successful
or 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBECDSA_do_sign()\fR and \fBECDSA_do_sign_ex()\fR return a pointer to an allocated
\&\fB\s-1ECDSA_SIG\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 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).

.Vb 3

.PP

\& pp = buffer;

.PP
.Vb 1

.PP
or using \fBECDSA_verify()\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& ret = ECDSA_verify(0, digest, 32, buffer, buf_len, eckey);

and finally evaluate the return value:
.PP
.Vb 6
\& if (ret == 1)
\& /* signature ok */
\& else if (ret == 0)
\& /* incorrect signature */
\& else
\& /* error */
