EVP_SIGNATURE\-RSA
\&\- The EVP_PKEY RSA signature implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Support for computing RSA signatures.
See \fBEVP_PKEY\-RSA\fR\|(7) for information related to RSA keys.
.SS "Signature Parameters"
.IX Subsection "Signature Parameters"
The following signature parameters can be set using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params()\fR.
This may be called after \fBEVP_PKEY_sign_init()\fR or \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init()\fR,
and before calling \fBEVP_PKEY_sign()\fR or \fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR.
