CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext(3)	    CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext(3)

NAME
       CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext - Create a signature cryptographic con‐
       text (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
       # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

       CSSM_RETURN  CSSMAPI  CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext  (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE
       CSPHandle,  CSSM_ALGORITHMS  AlgorithmID, const CSSM_ACCESS_CREDENTIALS
       *AccessCred, const CSSM_KEY *Key, CSSM_CC_HANDLE *NewContextHandle)

LIBRARY
       Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
       The handle that describes the  add-in  cryptographic  service  provider
       module  used  to	 perform this function. If a NULL handle is specified,
       CSSM returns error.  The algorithm identification number for  a	signa‐
       ture/verification  algorithm.  A pointer to the set of one or more cre‐
       dentials required to unlock the private key. The credentials  structure
       can   contain  an  immediate  value  for	 the  credential,  such	 as  a
       passphrase, or the caller can specify a callback function the  CSP  can
       use  to	obtain	one  or more credentials. Credentials are required for
       signature operations, not for verify operations.	 The key used to  sign
       and  verify.  The  caller passes a pointer to a CSSM_KEY structure con‐
       taining the key and the key length.  Cryptographic context handle.

DESCRIPTION
       This function creates a signature cryptographic context	for  sign  and
       verify,	given a handle of a CSP, an algorithm identification number, a
       key, and an AccessCredentials structure. The  AccessCredentials	struc‐
       ture  will  be used to unlock the private key when this context is used
       to perform a signing operation. The  cryptographic  context  handle  is
       returned. The cryptographic context handle can be used to call sign and
       verify cryptographic functions.

RETURN VALUE
       A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
       condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values repre‐
       sent an error condition.
