The handle that describes the add-in trust policy module
used to perform this function. The handle that describes
the add-in certificate library module used to perform this
function. The handle that describes the cryptographic
context for signing the certificate. This context also
identifies the cryptographic service provider to be used
to perform the signing operation. If this handle is not
provided by the caller, the trust policy module can assume
a default signing algorithm and a default CSP. If the
trust policy module does not assume defaults or the
default CSP is not available on the local system, an error
occurs. A pointer to a structure containing a certificte
template to be signed. The CRL type and encoded are
included in this structure. A group of one or more certificates
that partially or fully represent the signer for
this operation. The first certificate in the group is the
target certificate representing the signer. Use of subsequent
certificates is specific to the trust domain. For
example, in a hierarchical trust model subsequent members
are intermediate certificates of a certificate chain. A
structure containing credentials, policy information, and
contextual information to be used in the verification process.
All of the input values in the context are optional.
The service provider can define default values or can
attempt to operate without input for all the other fields
of this input structure. The operation can fail if a necessary
input value is omitted and the service module can
not define an appropriate default value. A pointer to a
structure containing information generated during the verification
process. The information can include:
Evidence .PP (output/optional)
NumberOfEvidences .PP (output/optional)
A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the
signed certificate. The SignedCert->Data is allocated
by the service provider and must be deallocated
by the application.
The TP module decides whether the signer certificate is
trusted to sign the CertTemplateToBeSigned. The signer
certificate group is first authenticated and its applicability
to perform this operation is determined. Once the
trust is established, this operation signs the entire certificate.
The caller must provide a credential that permits
the caller to use the private key for this signing
operation. The credential can be provided in the cryptographic
context CCHandle. If CCHandle is NULL, the credentials
in the SignerVerifyContext specify the credential
value.
A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a
particular error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates
success. All other values represent an error condition.
