11 #include <openssl/ssl.h>
12
13 int SSL_get_peer_signature_nid(SSL *ssl, int *psig_nid);
14 int SSL_get_peer_signature_type_nid(const SSL *ssl, int *psigtype_nid);
15 int SSL_get_signature_nid(SSL *ssl, int *psig_nid);
16 int SSL_get_signature_type_nid(const SSL *ssl, int *psigtype_nid);

18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20SSL_get_peer_signature_nid() sets B<*psig_nid> to the NID of the digest used
21by the peer to sign TLS messages. It is implemented as a macro.
22
23SSL_get_peer_signature_type_nid() sets B<*psigtype_nid> to the signature
24type used by the peer to sign TLS messages. Currently the signature type
25is the NID of the public key type used for signing except for PSS signing
26where it is B<EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS>. To differentiate between
27B<rsa_pss_rsae_*> and B<rsa_pss_pss_*> signatures, it's necessary to check
28the type of public key in the peer's certificate.
29
30SSL_get_signature_nid() and SSL_get_signature_type_nid() return the equivalent
31information for the local end of the connection.

33=head1 RETURN VALUES
34
35These functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure. There are several
36possible reasons for failure: the cipher suite has no signature (e.g. it
37uses RSA key exchange or is anonymous), the TLS version is below 1.2 or
38the functions were called too early, e.g. before the peer signed a message.
