=head1 NAME

EVP_SIGNATURE-RSA
- The EVP_PKEY RSA signature implementation

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=head2 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().

=over 4

=item "digest" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

=item "properties" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES>) <UTF8 string>

These common parameters are described in L<provider-signature(7)>.

=item "pad-mode" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE>) <UTF8 string>

The type of padding to be used. Its value can be one of the following:

=over 4

=item "none" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_NONE>)

=item "pkcs1" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PKCSV15>)

=item "x931" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_X931>)

=item "pss" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PAD_MODE_PSS>)

=back

=item "mgf1-digest" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

The digest algorithm name to use for the maskGenAlgorithm used by "pss" mode.

=item "mgf1-properties" (B<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.

=item "saltlen" (B<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:

=over 4

=item "digest" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_DIGEST>)

Use the same length as the digest size.

=item "max" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_MAX>)

Use the maximum salt length.

=item "auto" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO>)

Auto detect the salt length.

=item "auto-digestmax" (B<OSSL_PKEY_RSA_PSS_SALT_LEN_AUTO_DIGEST_MAX>)

Auto detect the salt length when verifying.  Maximize the salt length up to the
digest size when signing to comply with FIPS 186-4 section 5.5.

=back

=back

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

=over 4

=item "algorithm-id" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID>) <octet string>

This common parameter is described in L<provider-signature(7)>.

=item "digest" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

=item "pad-mode" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PAD_MODE>) <UTF8 string>

=item "mgf1-digest" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_MGF1_DIGEST>) <UTF8 string>

=item "saltlen" (B<OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PSS_SALTLEN>) <integer> or <UTF8 string>

These parameters are as described above.
