This is mainly used for testing purposes as shown 28in the L</EXAMPLES>. 29 30ECDSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<ECDSA_SIG> structure. 31Note: before OpenSSL 1.1.0, the I<r> and I<s> components were initialised. 32 33ECDSA_SIG_free() frees the B<ECDSA_SIG> structure I<sig>. 34 35ECDSA_SIG_get0() returns internal pointers the I<r> and I<s> values contained 36in I<sig> and stores them in I<*pr> and I<*ps>, respectively. 37The pointer I<pr> or I<ps> can be NULL, in which case the corresponding value 38is not returned. 39 40The values I<r>, I<s> can also be retrieved separately by the corresponding 41function ECDSA_SIG_get0_r() and ECDSA_SIG_get0_s(), respectively. 42 43Non-NULL I<r> and I<s> values can be set on the I<sig> by calling 44ECDSA_SIG_set0(). Calling this function transfers the memory management of the 45values to the B<ECDSA_SIG> object, and therefore the values that have been 46passed in should not be freed by the caller. 47 48See L<i2d_ECDSA_SIG(3)> and L<d2i_ECDSA_SIG(3)> for information about encoding 49and decoding ECDSA signatures to/from DER. 50 51=head1 RETURN VALUES 52 53ECDSA_SIG_new() returns NULL if the allocation fails. 54 55ECDSA_SIG_set0() returns 1 on success or 0 on failure. 56 57ECDSA_SIG_get0_r() and ECDSA_SIG_get0_s() return the corresponding value, 58or NULL if it is unset. 59 60=head1 EXAMPLES 61 62Extract signature I<r> and I<s> values from a ECDSA I<signature> 63of size I<signaturelen>: 64 65 ECDSA_SIG *obj; 66 const BIGNUM *r, *s; 67 68 /* Load a signature into the ECDSA_SIG object */ 69 obj = d2i_ECDSA_SIG(NULL, &signature, signaturelen); 70 if (obj == NULL) 71 /* error */ 72 73 r = ECDSA_SIG_get0_r(obj); 74 s = ECDSA_SIG_get0_s(obj); 75 if (r == NULL || s == NULL) 76 /* error */ 77 78 /* Use BN_bn2binpad() here to convert to r and s into byte arrays */ 79 80 /* 81 * Do not try to access I<r> or I<s> after calling ECDSA_SIG_free(), 82 * as they are both freed by this call. 83 */ 84 ECDSA_SIG_free(obj); 85 86Convert I<r> and I<s> byte arrays into an ECDSA_SIG I<signature> of 87size I<signaturelen>: 88 89 ECDSA_SIG *obj = NULL; 90 unsigned char *signature = NULL; 91 size_t signaturelen; 92 BIGNUM *rbn = NULL, *sbn = NULL; 93 94 obj = ECDSA_SIG_new(); 95 if (obj == NULL) 96 /* error */ 97 rbn = BN_bin2bn(r, rlen, NULL); 98 sbn = BN_bin2bn(s, slen, NULL); 99 if (rbn == NULL || sbn == NULL) 100 /* error */ 101 102 if (!ECDSA_SIG_set0(obj, rbn, sbn)) 103 /* error */ 104 /* Set these to NULL since they are now owned by obj */ 105 rbn = sbn = NULL; 106 107 signaturelen = i2d_ECDSA_SIG(obj, &signature); 108 if (signaturelen <= 0) 109 /* error */ 110 111 /* 112 * This signature could now be passed to L<EVP_DigestVerify(3)> 113 * or L<EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(3)> 114 */ 115 116 BN_free(rbn); 117 BN_free(sbn); 118 OPENSSL_free(signature); 119 ECDSA_SIG_free(obj); 120 121=head1 CONFORMING TO 122 123ANSI X9.62, 124US Federal Information Processing Standard FIPS186-4 125(Digital Signature Standard, DSS) 126 127=head1 SEE ALSO 128 129L<EC_KEY_new(3)>, 130L<EVP_DigestSignInit(3)>, 131L<EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)>, 132L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)> 133L<i2d_ECDSA_SIG(3)>, 134L<d2i_ECDSA_SIG(3)>, 135L<ECDSA_sign(3)> 136 137=head1 COPYRIGHT 138 139Copyright 2004-2022 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
