## NAME
       EVP_SIGNATURE-ECDSA - The EVP_PKEY ECDSA signature implementation.

## DESCRIPTION
       Support for computing ECDSA signatures.  See [**EVP_PKEY-EC**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/EVPPKEY-EC/7/markdown) for information related to EC
       keys.

### ECDSA Signature Parameters
       The following signature parameters can be set using **EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params()**.  This may be
       called after **EVP_PKEY_sign_init() **or **EVP_PKEY_verify_init()**, and before calling
       **EVP_PKEY_sign() **or **EVP_PKEY_verify()**.

       "digest" (**OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST**) <UTF8 string>
       "properties" (**OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_PROPERTIES**) <UTF8 string>
           These parameters are described in [**provider-signature**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/provider-signature/7/markdown).

       The following signature parameters can be retrieved using **EVP_PKEY_CTX_get_params()**.

       "algorithm-id" (**OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_ALGORITHM_ID**) <octet string>
       "digest" (**OSSL_SIGNATURE_PARAM_DIGEST**) <UTF8 string>
           The parameters are described in [**provider-signature**(7)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/provider-signature/7/markdown).
