libssh2_sign_sk(3)

NAME
libssh2_sign_sk - Create a signature from a FIDO2 authenticator.

SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_sign_sk(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
                unsigned char **sig,
                size_t *sig_len,
                const unsigned char *data,
                size_t data_len,
                void **abstract);
typedef struct _LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK {
    int algorithm;
    uint8_t flags;
    const char *application;
    const unsigned char *key_handle;
    size_t handle_len;
    LIBSSH2_USERAUTH_SK_SIGN_FUNC((*sign_callback));
    void **orig_abstract;
} LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK;

DESCRIPTION
session - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3) sig - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE. sig_len - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter. data - The data to sign. data_len - The length of the data parameter. abstract - A pointer to a pointer to a LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK. See description below. Create a signature from a FIDO2 authenticator, using either the sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com or sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com key exchange algorithms. The abstract parameter is a pointer to a pointer due to the internal workings of libssh2. The LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK must be completely filled out, and the caller is responsible for all memory management of its fields. algorithm - The signing algorithm to use. Possible values are LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ED25519 and LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ECDSA_256. flags - A bitmask specifying options for the authenticator. When LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a touch. When LIBSSH2_SK_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a PIN. Many servers and authenticators do not work properly when LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is not set. application - A user-defined string to use as the RP name for the authenticator. Usually "ssh:". key_handle - The key handle to use for the authenticator's allow list. handle_len - The length of the key_handle parameter. abstract - User-defined data. When a PIN is required, use this to pass in the PIN, or a function pointer to retrieve the PIN. key_handle The decoded key handle from the private key file. handle_len The length of the key_handle parameter. sign_callback - Responsible for communicating with the hardware authenticator to generate a signature. On success, the signature information must be placed in the `sig_info sig_info parameter and the callback must return 0. On failure, it should return a negative number. See libssh2_userauth_publickey_sk(3)
 for more information. orig_abstract - User-defined data. When a PIN is required, use this to pass in the PIN, or a function pointer to retrieve the PIN.

RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure.
