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 SEE ALSO + +L<d2i_X509(3)>, +L<ERR_get_error(3)>, +L<X509_CRL_get0_by_serial(3)>, +L<X509_get0_signature(3)>, +L<X509_get_ext_d2i(3)>, +L<X509_get_extension_flags(3)>, +L<X509_get_pubkey(3)>, +L<X509_get_subject_name(3)>, +L<X509_get_version(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_get_index_by_NID(3)>, +L<X509_NAME_print_ex(3)>, +L<X509_new(3)>, +L<X509V3_get_d2i(3)>, +L<X509_verify_cert(3)> + +=head1 HISTORY + +The X509_sign(), X509_REQ_sign() and X509_CRL_sign() functions are +available in all versions of OpenSSL. + +The X509_sign_ctx(), X509_REQ_sign_ctx() +and X509_CRL_sign_ctx() functions were added OpenSSL 1.0.1. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2015-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
