GenerateECDSASignature
Signs data using an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) private key.
In the diagram below, the dark rectangle represents the activity of signing some data using a private key that
is stored at a safe location.
Also see: CreateECDSAKeys, VerifyECDSASignature.
Properties
Private key
The private ECDSA key to use to generate the signed data (see CreateECDSAKeys).
The key can be given as a list of bytes or a base64 string.
Hash algorithm
The hash algorithm to use when signing the data. The options are SHA256, SHA384, or SHA512.
Data
The data to sign. This can be a list of bytes or a base64 string.
Definition
- The ECDSA signature in the form of a list of bytes.
Example
The example below shows a simple process where the private key is retrieved from a local database and used to sign some data which is received as input.
