Unfortunately, the SM2 id does something different to this I think. I'm not an SM2 expert but I believe that does: H( H(stuff || id || other_stuff) || M ) You should be able to use the EVP_PKEY_sign_init()/EVP_PKEY_sign() functions to sign pre-digested input. https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/EVP_PKEY_sign.html Matt
