int mbedtls_ecdsa_write_signature ( mbedtls_ecdsa_context ctx,
mbedtls_md_type_t  md_alg,
const unsigned char *  hash,
size_t  hlen,
unsigned char *  sig,
size_t *  slen,
int(*)(void *, unsigned char *, size_t)  f_rng,
void *  p_rng 
)

This function computes the ECDSA signature and writes it to a buffer, serialized as defined in RFC-4492: Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS).

Warning:
It is not thread-safe to use the same context in multiple threads.
Note:
The deterministic version is used if MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC is defined. For more information, see RFC-6979: Deterministic Usage of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
Parameters:
ctxThe ECDSA context.
md_algThe message digest that was used to hash the message.
hashThe message hash.
hlenThe length of the hash.
sigThe buffer that holds the signature.
slenThe length of the signature written.
f_rngThe RNG function.
p_rngThe RNG parameter.
Note:
The sig buffer must be at least twice as large as the size of the curve used, plus 9. For example, 73 Bytes if a 256-bit curve is used. A buffer length of MBEDTLS_ECDSA_MAX_LEN is always safe.
If the bitlength of the message hash is larger than the bitlength of the group order, then the hash is truncated as defined in Standards for Efficient Cryptography Group (SECG): SEC1 Elliptic Curve Cryptography, section 4.1.3, step 5.
Returns:
0 on success, or an MBEDTLS_ERR_ECP_XXX, MBEDTLS_ERR_MPI_XXX or MBEDTLS_ERR_ASN1_XXX error code on failure.
