SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>int gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_privkey_t signer, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data, gnutls_datum_t * signature);
ARGUMENTS
- gnutls_privkey_t signer
- Holds the signer's key
- gnutls_digest_algorithm_t hash_algo
- The hash algorithm used
- unsigned int flags
- Zero or one of gnutls_privkey_flags_t
- const gnutls_datum_t * hash_data
- holds the data to be signed
- gnutls_datum_t * signature
- will contain newly allocated signature
DESCRIPTION
This function will sign the given hashed 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-XXX for the DSA keys.You may use gnutls_pubkey_get_preferred_hash_algorithm() to determine the hash algorithm.
Note that if GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_SIGN_FLAG_TLS1_RSA flag is specified this function will ignore hash_algo and perform a raw PKCS1 signature.
RETURNS
On success, GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.SINCE
