Re: tbslen parameter in EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify()
Yes (duh) of course. The actual sign and verify functions don't know anything about the original payload. They only care about the thing being signed. Thanks for the help!

32 bytes means you're signing using RSA-WITH-SHA-256, yes? tbs is the digest value you calculated, tbslen is the size in bytes of the digest. -Kyle H On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 1:07 PM Jason Proctor wrote: > > Esteemed cryptologists, > > Question regarding the "tbslen" parameter to the sign and verify > functions.

tbslen parameter in EVP_PKEY_sign() and EVP_PKEY_verify()
Esteemed cryptologists, Question regarding the "tbslen" parameter to the sign and verify functions. The documentation says -- "The verified data (i.e. the data believed originally signed) is specified using the tbs and tbslen parameters." Which might indicate that tbslen is the length of the payload. However I found that I had to set this to the length of the *signature* to get these calls to work. The sign() operation fails at rsa_pmeth.c line 134, and the debugger does indeed tell me that it's expecting 32 there, rather than the payload length which is 1024. Is this correct? Anything I'm missing, here? thanks for any clarity here Jason@Spatial
