NAME
gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data - sign data using the private key
SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/x509.h>
int gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_data(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t * data, void * signature, size_t * signature_size);
ARGUMENTS
| gnutls_x509_privkey_t key | Holds the key |
| gnutls_digest_algorithm_t digest | should be MD5 or SHA1 |
| unsigned int flags | should be 0 for now |
| const gnutls_datum_t * data | holds the data to be signed |
| void * signature | will contain the signature |
| size_t * signature_size | holds the size of signature (and will be replaced by the new size) |
DESCRIPTION
This function will sign the given data using a signature algorithm supported by the private key. Signature algorithms are always used together with a hash functions. Different hash functions may be used for the RSA algorithm, but only SHA-1 for the DSA keys.
If the buffer provided is not long enough to hold the output, then *signature_size is updated and GNUTLS_E_SHORT_MEMORY_BUFFER will be returned.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
