NAME

CSSM_SignData

SYNOPSIS

CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_SignData
    (CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
    const CSSM_DATA_PTR DataBufs,
    uint32 DataBufCount,
    CSSM_DATA_PTR Signature)

DESCRIPTION

This function signs data using the private key associated with the public key specified in the context.

PARAMETERS

CCHandle (input)

The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.

DataBufs (input)

A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that contain the data to be operated on.

DataBufCount (input)

The number of DataBufs to be signed.

Signature (output)

A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure for the signature.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM return value. This function returns CSSM_OK if successful, and returns an error code if an error has occurred.

CSSM__CSP_OPERATION_FAILED

Cryptographic operation failed.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_ATTR_PASSPHRASE

Invalid or missing passphrase attribute in the context.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_ATTR_KEY

Invalid or missing key attribute in the context.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_KEY

Invalid or missing key data in the context attribute.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_KEYCLASS

Key class is not private key class.

CSSM__CSP_KEY_USAGE_INCORRECT

Key usage does not allow signature.

CSSM__CSP_KEY_ALGID_MISMATCH

The supplied key does not match the operation.

CSSM__CSP_KEY_KEYHEADER_INCONSISTENT

CSSM__CSP_KEY_FORMAT_INCORRECT

Unknown key format.

CSSM__CSP_INVALID_KEY_SIZE_IN_BITS

Key size in bits unsupported.

CSSM__CSP_CALLBACK_FAILED

Passphrase callback function failed.

CSSM__CSP_PRIKEY_NOT_FOUND

Cannot find the corresponding private key.

CSSM__CSP_PASSPHRASE_INVALID

Passphrase length error or passphrase badly formed.

CSSM__CSP_PASSPHRASE_INCORRECT

Passphrase incorrect.

CSSM__CSP_PRIKEY_ERROR

Error in getting the raw private key or private key storage error.

CSSM__CSP_NOT_ENOUGH_BUFFER

The output buffer is not big enough.

CSSM__CSP_VECTOROFBUFS_UNSUPPORTED

Supports only a single buffer of input.

Comments

The output is returned to the caller either by filling the caller-specified buffer or by using the application's declared memory allocation functions to allocate buffer space. To specify a specific, pre-allocated output buffer, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures each one containing a Length field value greater than zero and a non-NULL Data pointer field value. To specify automatic output buffer allocation by the CSP, the caller must provide an array of one or more CSSM_DATA structures each containing a Length field value equal to zero and a NULL Data pointer field value. The application is always responsible for de-allocating the memory when it is no longer needed. If the CSSM_DATA_PTR parameter is NULL (that is, does not point to an array of CSSM_DATA structures) or the number of CSSM_DATA structures is specified as zero, the error code CSSM_CSP_INVALID_DATA_POINTER is returned.
