26 The functions provided in SecKey.h implement and manage a particular
27 type of keychain item that represents a key. A key can be stored in a
28 keychain, but a key can also be a transient object.
30 You can use a key as a keychain item in most functions.

154 @abstract Given a private key and data to sign, generate a digital
156 @param key Private key with which to sign.
157 @param padding See Padding Types above, typically kSecPaddingPKCS1SHA1.
158 @param dataToSign The data to be signed, typically the digest of the
160 @param dataToSignLen Length of dataToSign in bytes.
161 @param sig Pointer to buffer in which the signature will be returned.
162 @param sigLen IN/OUT maximum length of sig buffer on input, actualy
163 length of sig on output.
164 @result A result code. See "Security Error Codes" (SecBase.h).
165 @discussion If the padding argument is kSecPaddingPKCS1, PKCS1 padding
166 will be performed prior to signing. If this argument is kSecPaddingNone,
167 the incoming data will be signed "as is".
169 When PKCS1 padding is performed, the maximum length of data that can
170 be signed is the value returned by SecKeyGetBlockSize() - 11.
172 NOTE: The behavior this function with kSecPaddingNone is undefined if the
173 first byte of dataToSign is zero; there is no way to verify leading zeroes
174 as they are discarded during the calculation.
176 If you want to generate a proper PKCS1 style signature with DER encoding
177 of the digest type - and the dataToSign is a SHA1 digest - use
178 kSecPaddingPKCS1SHA1.

203 will be checked during verification. If this argument is kSecPaddingNone,
204 the incoming data will be compared directly to sig.
