=head1 DESCRIPTION

ASN1_item_sign_ex() is used to sign arbitrary ASN1 data using a data object
I<data>, the ASN.1 structure I<it>, private key I<pkey> and message digest I<md>.
The data that is signed is formed by taking the data object in I<data> and
converting it to der format using the ASN.1 structure I<it>.
The I<data> that will be signed, and a structure containing the signature may
both have a copy of the B<X509_ALGOR>. The ASN1_item_sign_ex() function will
write the correct B<X509_ALGOR> to the structs based on the algorithms and
parameters that have been set up. If one of I<algor1> or I<algor2> points to the
B<X509_ALGOR> of the I<data> to be signed, then that B<X509_ALGOR> will first be
written before the signature is generated.
Examples of valid values that can be used by the ASN.1 structure I<it> are
ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509_CINF), ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509_REQ_INFO) and
ASN1_ITEM_rptr(X509_CRL_INFO).
The B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> specified in I<libctx> and the property query string
specified in I<props> are used when searching for algorithms in providers.
The generated signature is set into I<signature>.
The optional parameter I<id> can be NULL, but can be set for special key types.
See EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id() for further info. The output parameters <algor1> and
I<algor2> are ignored if they are NULL.

ASN1_item_sign() is similar to ASN1_item_sign_ex() but uses default values of
NULL for the I<id>, I<libctx> and I<propq>.

ASN1_item_sign_ctx() is similar to ASN1_item_sign() but uses the parameters
contained in digest context I<ctx>.

ASN1_item_verify_ex() is used to verify the signature I<signature> of internal
data I<data> using the public key I<pkey> and algorithm identifier I<alg>.
The data that is verified is formed by taking the data object in I<data> and
converting it to der format using the ASN.1 structure I<it>.
The B<OSSL_LIB_CTX> specified in I<libctx> and the property query string
specified in I<props> are used when searching for algorithms in providers.
The optional parameter I<id> can be NULL, but can be set for special key types.
See EVP_PKEY_CTX_set1_id() for further info.

ASN1_item_verify() is similar to ASN1_item_verify_ex() but uses default values of
NULL for the I<id>, I<libctx> and I<propq>.

ASN1_item_verify_ctx() is similar to ASN1_item_verify() but uses the parameters
contained in digest context I<ctx>.


=head1 RETURN VALUES

All sign functions return the size of the signature in bytes for success and
zero for failure.

All verify functions 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
ill-formed or some other error occurred then -1 is returned.

=head1 EXAMPLES

In the following example a 'MyObject' object is signed using the key contained
in an EVP_MD_CTX. The signature is written to MyObject.signature. The object is
then output in DER format and then loaded back in and verified.
