EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA(7)                OpenSSL               EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA(7)



NAME
       EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA - The EVP_PKEY RSA signature implementation

DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing RSA signatures.  See EVP_PKEY-RSA(7) for
       information related to RSA keys.

   Signature Parameters
       The following signature parameters can be set using
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params().  This may be called after
       EVP_PKEY_sign_init() or EVP_PKEY_verify_init(), and before calling
       EVP_PKEY_sign() or EVP_PKEY_verify().

       "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
       "properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
           These common parameters are described in provider-signature(7).

       "pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
           The type of padding to be used. Its value can be one of the
           following:

           "none" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_NONE)
           "pkcs1" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PKCSV15)
           "x931" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_X931)
           "pss" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PSS)
       "mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
           The digest algorithm name to use for the maskGenAlgorithm used by
           "pss" mode.

       "mgf1-properties" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>
           Sets the name of the property query associated with the
           "mgf1-digest" algorithm.  NULL is used if this optional value is
           not set.

       "saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>
           The "pss" mode minimum salt length. The value can either be an
           integer, a string value representing a number or one of the
           following string values:

           "digest" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_DIGEST)
               Use the same length as the digest size.

           "max" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX)
               Use the maximum salt length.

           "auto" (OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO)
               Auto detect the salt length.

       The following signature parameters can be retrieved using
       EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().

       "algorithm-id" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>
           This common parameter is described in provider-signature(7).

       "digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
       "pad-mode" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE) <UTF8 string>
       "mgf1-digest" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST) <UTF8 string>
       "saltlen" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN) <integer> or <UTF8 string>
           These parameters are as described above.
