B<ECDSA_SIG> is an opaque structure consisting of two BIGNUMs for the
I<r> and I<s> value of an ECDSA signature (see X9.62 or FIPS186-2).
I<r> and I<s> value of an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signature
(see FIPS186-4 or X9.62).
The B<ECDSA_SIG> object was mainly used by the deprecated low level functions described in
L<ECDSA_sign(3)>, it is still required in order to be able to set or get the values of
I<r> and I<s> into or from a signature. This is mainly used for testing purposes as shown
in the L</EXAMPLES>.
ECDSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<ECDSA_SIG> structure. Note: before
OpenSSL 1.1.0 the: the I<r> and I<s> components were initialised.
ECDSA_SIG_new() allocates an empty B<ECDSA_SIG> structure.

and decoding ECDSA signatures to/from DER.
All of the functions described below are deprecated. Applications should
use the higher level B<EVP> interface such as L<EVP_DigestSignInit(3)>
or L<EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)> instead.
ECDSA_size() returns the maximum length of a DER encoded ECDSA signature
created with the private EC key I<eckey>. To obtain the actual signature
size use L<EVP_PKEY_sign(3)> with a NULL I<sig> parameter.
ECDSA_sign() computes a digital signature of the I<dgstlen> bytes hash value
I<dgst> using the private EC key I<eckey>. The DER encoded signatures is
stored in I<sig> and its length is returned in I<sig_len>. Note: I<sig> must
point to ECDSA_size(eckey) bytes of memory. The parameter I<type> is currently
ignored. ECDSA_sign() is wrapper function for ECDSA_sign_ex() with I<kinv>
and I<rp> set to NULL.
ECDSA_do_sign() is similar to ECDSA_sign() except the signature is returned
as a newly allocated B<ECDSA_SIG> structure (or NULL on error). ECDSA_do_sign()
is a wrapper function for ECDSA_do_sign_ex() with I<kinv> and I<rp> set to
NULL.
ECDSA_verify() verifies that the signature in I<sig> of size I<siglen> is a
valid ECDSA signature of the hash value I<dgst> of size I<dgstlen> using the
public key I<eckey>. The parameter I<type> is ignored.
ECDSA_do_verify() is similar to ECDSA_verify() except the signature is
presented in the form of a pointer to an B<ECDSA_SIG> structure.
The remaining functions utilise the internal I<kinv> and I<r> values used
during signature computation. Most applications will never need to call these
and some external ECDSA ENGINE implementations may not support them at all if
either I<kinv> or I<r> is not NULL.
ECDSA_sign_setup() may be used to precompute parts of the signing operation.
I<eckey> is the private EC key and I<ctx> is a pointer to B<BN_CTX> structure
(or NULL). The precomputed values or returned in I<kinv> and I<rp> and can be
used in a later call to ECDSA_sign_ex() or ECDSA_do_sign_ex().
ECDSA_sign_ex() computes a digital signature of the I<dgstlen> bytes hash value
I<dgst> using the private EC key I<eckey> and the optional pre-computed values
I<kinv> and I<rp>. The DER encoded signature is stored in I<sig> and its
length is returned in I<sig_len>. Note: I<sig> must point to ECDSA_size(eckey)
bytes of memory. The parameter I<type> is ignored.

Extract signature I<r> and I<s> values from a ECDSA I<signature>

First step: create an EC_KEY object (note: this part is B<not> ECDSA

using ECDSA_do_sign():
sig = ECDSA_do_sign(digest, 32, eckey);
if (sig == NULL)
r = ECDSA_SIG_get0_r(obj);

buf_len = ECDSA_size(eckey);
buffer = OPENSSL_malloc(buf_len);
pp = buffer;
if (ECDSA_sign(0, dgst, dgstlen, pp, &buf_len, eckey) == 0)
Convert I<r> and I<s> byte arrays into an ECDSA_SIG I<signature> of
size I<signaturelen>:
ECDSA_SIG *obj = NULL;
unsigned char *signature = NULL;

/* error */
rbn = BN_bin2bn(r, rlen, NULL);
sbn = BN_bin2bn(s, slen, NULL);
if (rbn == NULL || sbn == NULL)
/* error */
Third step: verify the created ECDSA signature using ECDSA_do_verify():
ret = ECDSA_do_verify(digest, 32, sig, eckey);
or using ECDSA_verify():
ret = ECDSA_verify(0, digest, 32, buffer, buf_len, eckey);

else if (ret == 0)
