.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn RSA_sign
signs the message digest
.Fa m
of size
.Fa m_len
using the private key
.Fa rsa
using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified in RFC 3447.
It stores the signature in
.Fa sigret
and the signature size in
.Fa siglen .
.Fa sigret
must point to
.Fn 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
.Xr RSA_private_encrypt 3
for lower-level operations.
.Pp
.Fa type
denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate
.Fa m .
If
.Fa type
is
.Sy NID_md5_sha1 ,
an SSL signature (MD5 and SHA1 message digests with PKCS #1 padding and
no algorithm identifier) is created.
.Pp
.Fn RSA_verify
verifies that the signature
.Fa sigbuf
of size
.Fa siglen
matches a given message digest
.Fa m
of size
.Fa m_len .
.Fa type
denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the
signature.
.Fa rsa
is the signer's public key.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn RSA_sign
returns 1 on success.
.Fn RSA_verify
returns 1 on successful verification.
.Pp
The error codes can be obtained by
.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr RSA_meth_set_sign 3 ,
.Xr RSA_new 3 ,
.Xr RSA_private_encrypt 3 ,
.Xr RSA_public_decrypt 3
.Sh STANDARDS
SSL, PKCS #1 v2.0
.Sh HISTORY
.Fn RSA_sign
first appeared in SSLeay 0.4.4.
.Fn RSA_verify
first appeared in SSLeay 0.6.0.
Both functions have been available since
.Ox 2.4 .
