If the key used restricts parameters then +the corresponding signature parameters are set to the restrictions: +for example if the key can only be used with digest SHA256, MGF1 SHA256 +and minimum salt length 32 then the digest, MGF1 digest and salt length +will be set to SHA256, SHA256 and 32 respectively. + +The macro EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding() is supported but an error is +returned if an attempt is made to set the padding mode to anything other +than B. It is otherwise similar to the B version. + +The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_saltlen() macro is used to set the salt length. +If the key is restricted then an error is returned if an attempt is made +to set the salt below the minimum value. It is otherwise similar to the +B operation except special negative values are not supported. + +The EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md() and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_mgf1_md() macros +are used to set the digest and MGF1 algorithms respectively. If the key is +restricted then an error is returned if an attempt is made to set the +digest to anything other than the restricted value. Otherwise these are +similar to the B versions. + +=head1 KEY GENERATION + +As with RSA key generation the EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_rsa_keygen_bits() +and EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_keygen_pubexp() macros are supported for RSA PSS: +they have exactly the same meaning as for the RSA algorithm. + +Optional parameter restrictions can be specified when generating a PSS key +by default no parameter restrictions are placed on a generate key. If any +restrictions are set (using the macros described below) then B +parameters are restricted: e.g. setting a minimum salt length also restricts +the digest and MGF1 algorithms. If any restrictions are in place then +they are reflected in the corresponding parameters of the public key +when (for example) a certificate request is signed. + +EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_md() restricts the digest algorithm the +generated key can use to B. + +EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_mgf1_md() restricts the MGF1 algorithm the +generated key can use to B. + +EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_saltlen() restricts the minimum salt length +to B. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +All these functions return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. +In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by +the public key algorithm. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L, +L, +L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
