NAME

gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash - sign hash using the private key

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_privkey_sign_hash(gnutls_x509_privkey_t key, const gnutls_datum_t * hash, gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_x509_privkey_t key: Holds the key
const gnutls_datum_t * hash: holds the data to be signed
gnutls_datum_t * signature: will contain newly allocated signature

DESCRIPTION

This function will sign the given hash using the private key. Do not use this function directly unless you know what it is. Typical signing requires the data to be hashed and stored in special formats (e.g. BER Digest-Info for RSA).
