Method: PKCS11::Session#sign

Defined in:

lib/pkcs11/session.rb

#sign(mechanism, key, data = nil) {|PKCS11::Session::Cipher| ... } ⇒ String

Convenience method for the #C_SignInit, #C_SignUpdate, #C_SignFinal call flow.

Examples:

Sign a text by a RSA private key

signature = session.sign( :SHA1_RSA_PKCS, rsa_priv_key, "important text")

Parameters:

• mechanism (Hash, Symbol, Integer, PKCS11::CK_MECHANISM) —

  used mechanism

• key (PKCS11::Object) —

  used key

• data (String) (defaults to: nil) —

  data to sign

Yields:

• (PKCS11::Session::Cipher) —

  Cipher object for processing data parts

Returns:

• (String) —

  signature
