147.Sh DESCRIPTION
148These functions provide a low level interface to ECDSA.
149Most applications should use the higher level EVP interface such as
150.Xr EVP_DigestSignInit 3
151or
152.Xr EVP_DigestVerifyInit 3
153instead.
154Creation of the required
155.Vt EC_KEY
156objects is described in
157.Xr EC_KEY_new 3 .
158.Pp
159The
160.Vt ECDSA_SIG
161structure consists of two
162.Vt BIGNUM Ns s
163for the
164.Fa r
165and
166.Fa s
167value of an ECDSA signature (see X9.62 or FIPS 186-2).
168.Bd -literal -offset indent
169struct {
170 BIGNUM *r;
171 BIGNUM *s;
172} ECDSA_SIG;
173.Ed
174.Pp
175.Fn ECDSA_SIG_new
176allocates a new
177.Vt ECDSA_SIG
178structure (note: this function also allocates the
179.Vt BIGNUM Ns s )
180and initializes it.
181.Pp
182.Fn ECDSA_SIG_free
183frees the
184.Vt ECDSA_SIG
185structure
186.Fa sig .
187.Pp
188.Fn ECDSA_SIG_get0
189retrieves internal pointers the
190.Fa r
191and
192.Fa s
193values contained in
194.Fa sig .
195The values
196.Fa r
197and
198.Fa s
199can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding function
200.Fn ECDSA_SIG_get0_r
201and
202.Fn ECDSA_SIG_get0_s ,
203respectively.
204.Pp
205.Fn ECDSA_SIG_set0
206sets the
207.Fa r
208and
209.Fa s
210values in
211.Fa sig .
212Calling this function transfers the memory management of the values to
213.Fa sig .
214Therefore, the values that have been passed in
215should not be freed by the caller.
216.Pp
217.Fn i2d_ECDSA_SIG
218creates the DER encoding of the ECDSA signature
219.Fa sig_in
220and writes the encoded signature to
221.Pf * Fa der_out .
222.Fn d2i_ECDSA_SIG
223decodes the DER-encoded signature stored in the buffer
224.Pf * Fa der_in
225which is
226.Fa len
227bytes long into
228.Pf * Fa sig_out .
229For details about the semantics, examples, caveats, and bugs, see
230.Xr ASN1_item_d2i 3 .
231.Pp
232.Fn ECDSA_size
233returns the maximum length of a DER-encoded ECDSA signature created with
234the private EC key
235.Fa eckey .
236.Pp
237.Fn ECDSA_sign
238computes a digital signature of the
239.Fa dgstlen
240bytes hash value
241.Fa dgst
242using the private EC key
243.Fa eckey .
244The DER-encoded signature is stored in
245.Fa sig
246and its length is returned in
247.Fa siglen .
248Note:
249.Fa sig
250must point to
251.Fn ECDSA_size
252bytes of memory.
253The parameter
254.Fa type
255is ignored.
256.Pp
257.Fn ECDSA_verify
258verifies that the signature in
259.Fa sig
260of size
261.Fa siglen
262is a valid ECDSA signature of the hash value
263.Fa dgst
264of size
265.Fa dgstlen
266using the public key
267.Fa eckey .
268The parameter
269.Fa type
270is ignored.
271.Pp
272.Fn ECDSA_do_sign
273computes a digital signature of the
274.Fa dgst_len
275bytes hash value
276.Fa dgst
277using the private key
278.Fa eckey .
279The signature is returned in a newly allocated
280.Vt ECDSA_SIG
281structure (or
282.Dv NULL
283on error).
284.Pp
285.Fn ECDSA_do_verify
286verifies that the signature
287.Fa sig
288is a valid ECDSA signature of the hash value
289.Fa dgst
290of size
291.Fa dgst_len
292using the public key
293.Fa eckey .
294.Sh RETURN VALUES
295.Fn ECDSA_SIG_new
296returns the new
297.Vt ECDSA_SIG
298object or
299.Dv NULL
300if an error occurs.
301.Pp
302.Fn i2d_ECDSA_SIG
303returns the number of bytes successfully encoded
304or a negative value if an error occurs.
305.Pp
306.Fn d2i_ECDSA_SIG
307returns a pointer to the decoded
308.Vt ECDSA_SIG
309structure or
310.Dv NULL
311if an error occurs.
312.Pp
313.Fn ECDSA_size
314returns the maximum length signature or 0 on error.
315.Pp
316.Fn ECDSA_SIG_get0_r
317and
318.Fn ECDSA_SIG_get0_s
319return a pointer owned by the
320.Vt ECDSA_SIG
321object if it has been set or
322.Dv NULL
323otherwise.
324.Pp
325.Fn ECDSA_SIG_set0
326and
327.Fn ECDSA_sign
328return 1 if successful or 0 on error.
329.Pp
330.Fn ECDSA_do_sign
331returns a pointer to an allocated
332.Vt ECDSA_SIG
333structure or
334.Dv NULL
335on error.
336.Pp
337.Fn ECDSA_verify
338and
339.Fn ECDSA_do_verify
340return 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an invalid signature and -1 on
341error.
342The error codes can be obtained by
343.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
344.Sh EXAMPLES
345Creating an ECDSA signature of given SHA-384 hash value using the named
346curve secp384r1.
347.Pp
348First step: create an
349.Vt EC_KEY
350object.
351This part is
352.Em not

354.Bd -literal -offset indent
355int ret;
356ECDSA_SIG *sig;

361 /* error */
362}
363if (!EC_KEY_generate_key(eckey)) {
364 /* error */
365}
366.Ed
367.Pp
368Second step: compute the ECDSA signature of a SHA-384 hash value using
369.Fn ECDSA_do_sign
370.Bd -literal -offset indent
371sig = ECDSA_do_sign(digest, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH, eckey);
372if (sig == NULL) {
373 /* error */
374}

378.Fn ECDSA_sign
379.Bd -literal -offset indent
380unsigned char *buffer, *pp;

383buf_len = ECDSA_size(eckey);

385pp = buffer;
386if (!ECDSA_sign(0, dgst, dgstlen, pp, &buf_len, eckey) {
387 /* error */
388}

393.Pp
394.Dl ret = ECDSA_do_verify(digest, SHA384_DIGEST_LENGTH, sig, eckey);
395.Pp
