=head1 NAME
X509_sign, X509_sign_ctx, X509_verify, X509_REQ_sign, X509_REQ_sign_ctx,
X509_REQ_verify, X509_CRL_sign, X509_CRL_sign_ctx, X509_CRL_verify -
sign or verify certificate, certificate request or CRL signature
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
int X509_sign(X509 *x, EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md);
int X509_sign_ctx(X509 *x, EVP_MD_CTX *ctx);
int X509_verify(X509 *a, EVP_PKEY *r);
int X509_REQ_sign(X509_REQ *x, EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md);
int X509_REQ_sign_ctx(X509_REQ *x, EVP_MD_CTX *ctx);
int X509_REQ_verify(X509_REQ *a, EVP_PKEY *r);
int X509_CRL_sign(X509_CRL *x, EVP_PKEY *pkey, const EVP_MD *md);
int X509_CRL_sign_ctx(X509_CRL *x, EVP_MD_CTX *ctx);
int X509_CRL_verify(X509_CRL *a, EVP_PKEY *r);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_sign() signs certificate B<x> using private key B<pkey> and message
digest B<md> and sets the signature in B<x>. X509_sign_ctx() also signs
certificate B<x> but uses the parameters contained in digest context B<ctx>.
X509_verify() verifies the signature of certificate B<x> using public key
B<pkey>. Only the signature is checked: no other checks (such as certificate
chain validity) are performed.
X509_REQ_sign(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx(), X509_REQ_verify(),
X509_CRL_sign(), X509_CRL_sign_ctx() and X509_CRL_verify() sign and verify
certificate requests and CRLs respectively.
=head1 NOTES
X509_sign_ctx() is used where the default parameters for the corresponding
public key and digest are not suitable. It can be used to sign keys using
RSA-PSS for example.
For efficiency reasons and to work around ASN.1 encoding issues the encoding
of the signed portion of a certificate, certificate request and CRL is cached
internally. If the signed portion of the structure is modified the encoding
is not always updated meaning a stale version is sometimes used. This is not
normally a problem because modifying the signed portion will invalidate the
signature and signing will always update the encoding.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_sign(), X509_sign_ctx(), X509_REQ_sign(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx(),
X509_CRL_sign() and X509_CRL_sign_ctx() return the size of the signature
in bytes for success and zero for failure.
X509_verify(), X509_REQ_verify() and X509_CRL_verify() return 1 if the
signature is valid and 0 if the signature check fails. If the signature
could not be checked at all because it was invalid or some other error
occurred then -1 is returned.

=head1 HISTORY
X509_sign(), X509_REQ_sign() and X509_CRL_sign() are available in all
versions of OpenSSL.
X509_sign_ctx(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx() and X509_CRL_sign_ctx() were first added
to OpenSSL 1.0.1.
