NAME

OBJ_find_sigid_algs, OBJ_find_sigid_by_algs — signature algorithm mappings

SYNOPSIS

#include <openssl/objects.h>
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_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_find_sigid_algs() returns 1 if a definition of the signature algorithm is found or 0 if a definition of the signature algorithm is not built into the library.
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 not built into the library.
