openssl_sign

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_sign — Generate signature

Descrizione

openssl_sign(
    string $data,
    string &$signature,
    #[\SensitiveParameter] OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $private_key,
    string|int $algorithm = OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
): bool

openssl_sign() computes a signature for the specified data by generating a cryptographic digital signature using the private key associated with private_key. Note that the data itself is not encrypted.

Elenco dei parametri

data

The string of data you wish to sign

signature

If the call was successful the signature is returned in signature.

private_key

OpenSSLAsymmetricKey - a key, returned by openssl_get_privatekey()

string - a PEM formatted key

algorithm

int - one of these Signature Algorithms.

string - a valid string returned by openssl_get_md_methods() example, "sha256WithRSAEncryption" or "sha384".

Valori restituiti

Restituisce true in caso di successo, false in caso di fallimento.

Log delle modifiche

Versione	Descrizione
8.0.0	`private_key` accepts an OpenSSLAsymmetricKey or OpenSSLCertificate instance now; previously, a resource of type `OpenSSL key` or `OpenSSL X.509` was accepted.

Esempi

Example #1 openssl_sign() example

<?php
// $data is assumed to contain the data to be signed

// fetch private key from file and ready it
$pkeyid = openssl_pkey_get_private("file://src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/key.pem");

// compute signature
openssl_sign($data, $signature, $pkeyid);

// free the key from memory
openssl_free_key($pkeyid);
?>

Example #2 openssl_sign() example

<?php
//data you want to sign
$data = 'my data';

//create new private and public key
$new_key_pair = openssl_pkey_new(array(
    "private_key_bits" => 2048,
    "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
));
openssl_pkey_export($new_key_pair, $private_key_pem);

$details = openssl_pkey_get_details($new_key_pair);
$public_key_pem = $details['key'];

//create signature
openssl_sign($data, $signature, $private_key_pem, OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA256);

//save for later
file_put_contents('private_key.pem', $private_key_pem);
file_put_contents('public_key.pem', $public_key_pem);
file_put_contents('signature.dat', $signature);

//verify signature
$r = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $public_key_pem, "sha256WithRSAEncryption");
var_dump($r);
?>

This may help if you just want a real-simple private/public key pair:

<?php

$data = "Beeeeer is really good.. hic...";

// You can get a simple private/public key pair using:
// openssl genrsa 512 >private_key.txt
// openssl rsa -pubout <private_key.txt >public_key.txt

// IMPORTANT: The key pair below is provided for testing only. 
// For security reasons you must get a new key pair
// for production use, obviously.

It should be noted that the default signature algorithm used by openssl_sign() and openssl_verify (OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1) is no longer supported by default in OpenSSL Version 3 series.

With an up to date OpenSSL library, one has to run
"update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY"
on the server where the library resides in order to allow these functions to work without the optional alternative algorithm argument.
