.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
Applications should instead use \fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_PKEY_sign\fR\|(3),
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_PKEY_verify\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBRSA_sign()\fR signs the message digest \fBm\fR of size \fBm_len\fR using the
private key \fBrsa\fR using RSASSA\-PKCS1\-v1_5 as specified in RFC 3447. It
stores the signature in \fBsigret\fR and the signature size in \fBsiglen\fR.
\&\fBsigret\fR must point to RSA_size(\fBrsa\fR) bytes of memory.
Note that PKCS #1 adds meta-data, placing limits on the size of the
key that can be used.
See \fBRSA_private_encrypt\fR\|(3) for lower-level
operations.
.PP
\&\fBtype\fR denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate
\&\fBm\fR.
If \fBtype\fR is \fBNID_md5_sha1\fR,
an SSL signature (MD5 and SHA1 message digests with PKCS #1 padding
and no algorithm identifier) is created.
.PP
\&\fBRSA_verify()\fR verifies that the signature \fBsigbuf\fR of size \fBsiglen\fR
matches a given message digest \fBm\fR of size \fBm_len\fR. \fBtype\fR denotes
the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the signature.
\&\fBrsa\fR is the signer's public key.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBRSA_sign()\fR returns 1 on success and 0 for failure.
\&\fBRSA_verify()\fR returns 1 on successful verification and 0 for failure.
.PP
The error codes can be obtained by \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
