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

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes way too many mistakes in technical documents. NAME
EVP_SIGNATURE-ECDSA - The EVP_PKEY ECDSA signature implementation.
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" Support for computing ECDSA signatures.
See
EVP_PKEY-EC\|(7) for information related to EC keys.
"Algorithm Names"
Subsection "Algorithm Names" In this list, names are grouped together to signify that they are the same
algorithm having multiple names. This also includes the OID in canonical
decimal form (which means that they are possible to fetch if the caller has a
mere OID which came out in this form after a call to
OBJ_obj2txt\|(3)).
"""ECDSA""" 4
Item """ECDSA""" The base signature algorithm, supported explicitly fetched with
\fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex2\|(3), and implicitly fetched (through
EC keys) with
EVP_DigestSignInit\|(3) and
\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit\|(3).
.Sp
It can't be used with
EVP_PKEY_sign_message_init\|(3)

ECDSA signature schemes with diverse message digest algorithms. They are all
supported explicitly fetched with EVP_PKEY_sign_init_ex2\|(3) and
\fBEVP_PKEY_sign_message_init\|(3).
"ECDSA Signature Parameters"
Subsection "ECDSA 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>" 4

"""properties"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>" 4
Item """properties"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
These two are not supported with the ECDSA signature schemes that already
include a message digest algorithm, See "Algorithm Names" above.
"""nonce-type"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer>" 4
Item """nonce-type"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_NONCE_TYPE) <unsigned integer>" 0
"""key-check"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_KEY_CHECK) <integer>" 4

Item """digest-check"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_FIPS_DIGEST_CHECK) <integer>"
These parameters are described in provider-signature\|(7).
The following signature parameters can be retrieved using
\fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params().
"""algorithm-id"" (OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID) <octet string>" 4

The parameters are described in provider-signature\|(7).
