# gnutls\_encode\_ber\_digest\_info(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_encode\_ber\_digest\_info - API function

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<gnutls/crypto.h\>**

**int gnutls\_encode\_ber\_digest\_info(gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t** *hash***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *digest***, gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *output***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t hash

  the hash algorithm that was used to get the digest

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* digest

  must contain the digest data

- gnutls\_datum\_t \* output

  will contain the allocated DigestInfo BER encoded data

## DESCRIPTION

This function will encode the provided digest data, and its algorithm into an RSA PKCS**1** 1.5 DigestInfo structure.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise an error code is returned.

## SINCE

3\.5.0
