# gnutls\_pubkey\_get\_verify\_algorithm(3)

API function

## NAME

gnutls\_pubkey\_get\_verify\_algorithm - API function

## SYNOPSIS

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

**int gnutls\_pubkey\_get\_verify\_algorithm(gnutls\_pubkey\_t** *key***, const gnutls\_datum\_t \*** *signature***, gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t \*** *hash***);**

## ARGUMENTS

- gnutls\_pubkey\_t key

  Holds the certificate

- const gnutls\_datum\_t \* signature

  contains the signature

- gnutls\_digest\_algorithm\_t \* hash

  The result of the call with the hash algorithm used for signature

## DESCRIPTION

This function will read the certifcate and the signed data to determine the hash algorithm used to generate the signature.

## RETURNS

On success, **GNUTLS\_E\_SUCCESS** (0) is returned, otherwise a negative error value.
