<p>The Calculate Signature (OPM, QC3CALSG; ILE, Qc3CalculateSignature)
API produces a digital signature by hashing the input data and
encrypting the hash value using a public key algorithm (PKA). To verify the
signature, use the <a href="qc3vfysg.htm">Verify Signature (OPM, QC3VFYSG; ILE,
Qc3VerifySig) API</a>.</p>
<p>Information on cryptographic standards can be found in the <a href=
"qc3crtax.htm">Create Algorithm Context (OPM, QC3CRTAX; ILE,

specifies 2 (hardware CSP). Otherwise, this parameter must be blanks or
the pointer to this parameter set to NULL.</p>

<p>The area to store the signature.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of area provided for signature</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The length of the signature parameter in bytes. The length of the signature will equal the key size. (See <a href="qc3genpk.htm">Generate PKA Key Pair (OPM, QC3GENPK; ILE,
Qc3GenPKAKeyPair) API</a>.) Because key size is normally specified in bits, divide that value by 8 and round up to obtain the length of area needed for the signature.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Length of signature returned</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
<p>The length of the signature returned in the signature parameter.<br>
If the length of area provided for the signature is too small, an error will be
