NAME¶

gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign - API function

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <gnutls/x509.h>

int gnutls_x509_crt_privkey_sign(gnutls_x509_crt_t crt, gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer, gnutls_privkey_t issuer_key, gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig, unsigned int flags);

ARGUMENTS¶

gnutls_x509_crt_t crt

a certificate of type gnutls_x509_crt_t

gnutls_x509_crt_t issuer

is the certificate of the certificate issuer

gnutls_privkey_t issuer_key

holds the issuer's private key

gnutls_digest_algorithm_t dig

The message digest to use, GNUTLS_DIG_SHA1 is a safe choice

unsigned int flags

must be 0

DESCRIPTION¶

This function will sign the certificate with the issuer's private key, and will copy the issuer's information into the certificate.

This must be the last step in a certificate generation since all the previously set parameters are now signed.
