RSA_SIGN(3ossl) OpenSSL RSA_SIGN(3ossl)

NAME RSA_sign, RSA_verify - RSA signatures
SYNOPSIS #include <openssl/rsa.h>
The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):
int RSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa);
int RSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa);
DESCRIPTION All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use EVP_PKEY_sign_init(3), EVP_PKEY_sign(3), EVP_PKEY_verify_init(3) and EVP_PKEY_verify(3).
RSA_sign() signs the message digest m of size m_len using the private key rsa using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified in RFC 3447. It stores the signature in sigret and the signature size in siglen. sigret must point to RSA_size(rsa) bytes of memory. Note that PKCS #1 adds meta- data, placing limits on the size of the key that can be used. See RSA_private_encrypt(3) for lower-level operations.
type denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate m. If type is NID_md5_sha1, an SSL signature (MD5 and SHA1 message digests with PKCS #1 padding and no algorithm identifier) is created.
RSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches a given message digest m of size m_len. type denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the signature. rsa is the signer's public key.
RETURN VALUES RSA_sign() returns 1 on success and 0 for failure. RSA_verify() returns 1 on successful verification and 0 for failure.
The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error(3).
