Description:
------------
Hi,

when using the openssl extension for public en-/decryption (openssl_public_decrypt) you can set the padding with values like OPENSSL_PKCS1_PADDING.

This is not possible when trying to verify a signature using openssl_verify()

But setting the padding or using a greater collection of alorithems is needed, when wanting to verify a signature which has been created with a PKCS1 v2 (RSASSA-PSS) based algorithm i.E. sha256-rsa-MGF1.

It would be great if the PHP openssl extensions could be enhanced to use it with more flexibility regarding cryptographic algorithms.

As I have been told, my description of the issue is not really accurate.

Therefore I try to describe the problem in more detail.

Currently in PHP it is only possible to make and verify OpenSSL based signatures based on cryptography defined in PKCS #1 v1.5.

This is due to the mapping of the algorithm parameter given in the PHP function "openssl_sign" to a OpenSSL function (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/3370b5fd8732ba47a6c833411d57481b9d2d4c02/ext/openssl/openssl.c#L6433) which only uses the RSA-SSA implementation as specified by PKCS #1 v1.5.

It would be great, to enable creating an signature based on the cryptographic standard PKCS #1 v2 (RSASSA-PSS). I think the following changes are needed for this:

* add the possibility to specify the signature algorithm and the digest algorithm separately in the "openssl_sign" and openssl_verify" PHP functions

* change the underlying mapping to OpenSSL calls, to make use of the OpenSSL RSASSA-PSS implementation, if the given algorithms defines the need for it

For creating RSASSA-PSS Signatures an EVP_PKEY_CTX (https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_pss_keygen_mgf1_md.html) is needed.
An example for the creation would be:

EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_id(EVP_PKEY_RSA_PSS, NULL);

To use this EVP_PKEY_CTX the calling of the method EVP_SignInit (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/EVP_SignInit.html) should be replaced by using EVP_DigestSignInit funktion benutzt werden (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/man3/EVP_DigestSignInit.html).

Hope this clarifies the intention of this bug report. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions.
