NAME

OBJ_add_sigid, OBJ_sigid_free, OBJ_find_sigid_algs, OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs — signature algorithm mappings

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/objects.h> int
OBJ_add_sigid(int signature, int digest, int encryption); void
OBJ_sigid_free(void); int
OBJ_find_sigid_algs(int signature, int *pdigest, int *pencryption); int
OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs(int *psignature, int digest, int encryption);

DESCRIPTION

OBJ_add_sigid() defines the signature algorithm to use the specified digest and encryption algorithms. Making sure that this does not conflict with earlier invocations of OBJ_add_sigid() is the responsibility of the caller. Definitions made with OBJ_add_sigid() take precedence over definitions built into the library. OBJ_sigid_free() deletes all definitions made with OBJ_add_sigid(). OBJ_find_sigid_algs() looks up the signature algorithm. If it is found, the associated digest algorithm is stored in *pdigest unless pdigest is a NULL pointer, and the associated encryption algorithm is stored in *pencryption unless pencryption is a NULL pointer. OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs() looks up the pair (digest, encryption). If it is found, the associated signature algorithm is stored in *psignature unless psignature is a NULL pointer.

RETURN VALUES

OBJ_add_sigid() returns 1 on success or 0 if memory allocation fails. OBJ_find_sigid_algs() returns 1 if a definition of the signature algorithm is found or 0 if a definition of the signature algorithm is neither built into the library nor provided with OBJ_add_sigid(). OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs() returns 1 if a signature algorithm using the specified digest and encryption algorithms is defined or 0 if the definition of such an algorithm is neither built into the library nor provided with OBJ_add_sigid().
