gnutls_decode_rs_value - API function

SYNOPSIS

#include <gnutls/crypto.h>

int gnutls_decode_rs_value(const gnutls_datum_t * sig_value, gnutls_datum_t * r, gnutls_datum_t * s);

ARGUMENTS

const gnutls_datum_t * sig_value: holds a Dss-Sig-Value DER or BER encoded structure
gnutls_datum_t * r: will contain the r value
gnutls_datum_t * s: will contain the s value

DESCRIPTION

This function will decode the provided sig_value , into r and s elements. The Dss-Sig-Value is used for DSA and ECDSA signatures.

The output values may be padded with a zero byte to prevent them from being interpreted as negative values. The value should be deallocated using gnutls_free().
