Elliptic Curve Digital Signature: [message < G.ord]

When using ippsSignDSA, does the developer have to feed a message smaller than the order of the generator or does the function itself compute the modulus in case it is not?

Dear customer,

The size of input message could be large than or equal to order of generator, then you could call Modular reduction function to padding 0 before message. But if you set message less than generator, how would you align with key pair?

Best regards,
Fiona

Dear Fiona,

Thank you for your response. I don't mean the bit size of the message, but its numerical magnitude.
