X509_sign_ctx() also signs +certificate B but uses the parameters contained in digest context B. + +X509_verify() verifies the signature of certificate B using public key +B. 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, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L, +L + +=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. + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2015-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
