+=head1 NAME
+
+RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING, RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING - RSA signatures
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/rsa.h>
+
+ int RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING(int dummy, unsigned char *m,
+ unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigret, unsigned int *siglen,
+ RSA *rsa);
+
+ int RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING(int dummy, unsigned char *m,
+ unsigned int m_len, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen,
+ RSA *rsa);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() signs the octet string B<m> of size
+B<m_len> using the private key B<rsa> represented in DER using PKCS #1
+padding. It stores the signature in B<sigret> and the signature size
+in B<siglen>. B<sigret> must point to B<RSA_size(rsa)> bytes of
+memory.
+
+B<dummy> is ignored.
+
+The random number generator must be seeded prior to calling RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING().
+
+RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() verifies that the signature B<sigbuf>
+of size B<siglen> is the DER representation of a given octet string
+B<m> of size B<m_len>. B<dummy> is ignored. B<rsa> is the signer's
+public key.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+RSA_sign_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise.
+RSA_verify_ASN1_OCTET_STRING() returns 1 on successful verification, 0
+otherwise.
+
+The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+These functions serve no recognizable purpose.
