  • Use complete examples that can be pasted and run as-is
  • Move note about algorithm to the functions it applies to
  • Uncapitalize inconsistence use of "Class"
  • Use both EC and RSA keys in the examples
  • Note that hash and digest are two names for the same algorithms
Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

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.

I would probably express this in an even stronger way, as far as I know, this is specific to OpenSSL.

I'm just moving the existing text closer to the API it refers to, I don't want to rework too much unless its got a serious problem. In this case, we never build with anything other than OpenSSL, so doesn't all the docs apply to OpenSSL? I'll add some specific text if you suggest, but I'm not sure what else to say, myself.
