Signing Data

Function

This API is used to digitally sign a message or digest using the private key of an asymmetric key.

Constraints

Only the asymmetric key whose key_usage is SIGN_VERIFY can be used for signature. SM2 keys can only be used to sign message digests.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v1.0/{project_id}/kms/sign
