NAME

SignDataInit, CSSM_SignDataInit, CSP_SignDataInit − Initialize the staged sign data (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS

# include <cdsa/cssm.h>

API:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_SignDataInit
(CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle)
SPI:
CSSM_RETURN CSSMCSPI CSP_SignDataInit
(CSSM_CSP_HANDLE CSPHandle,
CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
const CSSM_CONTEXT ∗Context)

LIBRARY

Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

API PARAMETERS

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

SPI PARAMETERS

CSPHandle (input)
The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service provider module used to perform up calls to CSSM for the memory functions managed by CSSM.

Context (input)
Pointer to CSSM_CONTEXT structure that describes the attributes with this context.

DESCRIPTION

This function initializes the staged sign data function. 

For staged operations, a combination operation selecting both a digesting algorithm and a signing algorithm must be specified. 

The CSP can require that the cryptographic context include access credentials for authentication and authorization checks when using a private key or a secret key. 

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent an error condition. 

ERRORS

Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See CDSA_intro(3). 

None specific to this call.
