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().
