.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
RSA_sign, RSA_verify - RSA signatures
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/rsa.h> \& int RSA_sign(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen, RSA *rsa); \& int RSA_verify(int type, const unsigned char *m, unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, RSA *rsa); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBRSA_sign() signs the message digest m of size m_len using the private key rsa using RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 as specified in \s-1RFC 3447.\s0 It stores the signature in sigret and the signature size in siglen. \fBsigret must point to RSA_size(rsa) bytes of memory. Note that \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 adds meta-data, placing limits on the size of the key that can be used. See RSA_private_encrypt\|(3) for lower-level operations.

\fBtype denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate \fBm. If type is NID_md5_sha1, an \s-1SSL\s0 signature (\s-1MD5\s0 and \s-1SHA1\s0 message digests with \s-1PKCS\s0 #1 padding and no algorithm identifier) is created.

\fBRSA_verify() verifies that the signature sigbuf of size siglen matches a given message digest m of size m_len. type denotes the message digest algorithm that was used to generate the signature. \fBrsa is the signer's public key.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBRSA_sign() returns 1 on success. \fBRSA_verify() returns 1 on successful verification.

The error codes can be obtained by ERR_get_error\|(3).
