function createSign

Usage in Deno

import { createSign } from "node:crypto";
createSign(
algorithm: string,
options?: stream.WritableOptions,
): Sign

Creates and returns a Sign object that uses the given algorithm. Use getHashes to obtain the names of the available digest algorithms. Optional options argument controls the stream.Writable behavior.

In some cases, a Sign instance can be created using the name of a signature algorithm, such as 'RSA-SHA256', instead of a digest algorithm. This will use the corresponding digest algorithm. This does not work for all signature algorithms, such as 'ecdsa-with-SHA256', so it is best to always use digest algorithm names.

Parameters

algorithm: string
optional
options: stream.WritableOptions

stream.Writable options
