Calculates and returns the signature for data
using the given private key and algorithm. If algorithm
is null
or undefined
, then the algorithm is dependent upon the key type.
algorithm
is required to be null
or undefined
for Ed25519, Ed448, and ML-DSA.
If key
is not a KeyObject
, this function behaves as if key
had been passed to createPrivateKey. If it is an object, the following additional properties can be passed:
If the callback
function is provided this function uses libuv's threadpool.
