  162. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  163. The \s-1EVP\s0 signature routines are a high-level interface to digital signatures.
  164. Input data is digested first before the signature verification takes place.
  165. .PP
  166. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR sets up verification context \fBctx\fR to use a
  167. digest with the name \fBmdname\fR and public key \fBpkey\fR. The name of the digest to
  168. be used is passed to the provider of the signature algorithm in use. How that
  169. provider interprets the digest name is provider specific. The provider may
  170. implement that digest directly itself or it may (optionally) choose to fetch it
  171. (which could result in a digest from a different provider being selected). If
  172. the provider supports fetching the digest then it may use the \fBprops\fR argument
  173. for the properties to be used during the fetch. Finally, the passed parameters
  174. \&\fIparams\fR, if not \s-1NULL,\s0 are set on the context before returning.
  175. .PP
  176. The \fIpkey\fR algorithm is used to fetch a \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR method implicitly, to
  177. be used for the actual signing. See \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7) for
  178. more information about implicit fetches.
  179. .PP
  180. The OpenSSL default and legacy providers support fetching digests and can fetch
  181. those digests from any available provider. The OpenSSL \s-1FIPS\s0 provider also
  182. supports fetching digests but will only fetch digests that are themselves
  183. implemented inside the \s-1FIPS\s0 provider.
  184. .PP
  185. \&\fBctx\fR must be created with \fBEVP_MD_CTX_new()\fR before calling this function. If
  186. \&\fBpctx\fR is not \s-1NULL,\s0 the \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 of the verification operation will be
  187. written to \fB*pctx\fR: this can be used to set alternative verification options.
  188. Note that any existing value in \fB*pctx\fR is overwritten. The \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 value
  189. returned must not be freed directly by the application if \fBctx\fR is not assigned
  190. an \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 value before being passed to \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR
  191. (which means the \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 is created inside
  192. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR and it will be freed automatically when the
  193. \&\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0 is freed). If the \s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 to be used is created by
  194. EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex then it will use the \fB\s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0\fR specified
  195. in \fIlibctx\fR and the property query string specified in \fIprops\fR.
  196. .PP
  197. No \fB\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0\fR will be created by \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR if the
  198. passed \fBctx\fR has already been assigned one via \fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx\fR\|(3).
  199. See also \s-1\fBSM2\s0\fR\|(7).

  230. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR works in the same way as
  231. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR except that the \fBmdname\fR parameter will be
  232. inferred from the supplied digest \fBtype\fR, and \fBprops\fR will be \s-1NULL.\s0 Where
  233. supplied the \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBe\fR will be used for the signature verification and digest
  234. algorithm implementations. \fBe\fR may be \s-1NULL.\s0
  235. .PP
  236. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the

  249. .PP
  250. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestVerify()\fR return 1 for success; any other
  251. value indicates failure. A return value of zero indicates that the signature
  252. did not verify successfully (that is, \fBtbs\fR did not match the original data or
  253. the signature had an invalid form), while other values indicate a more serious
  254. error (and sometimes also indicate an invalid signature form).
  255. .PP
  256. The error codes can be obtained from \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
  257. .SH "NOTES"
  258. .IX Header "NOTES"
  259. The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
  260. preference to the low-level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
  261. transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
  262. .PP
  263. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerify()\fR is a one shot operation which verifies a single block of
  264. data in one function. For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent
  265. to calling \fBEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR. For
  266. algorithms which do not support streaming (e.g. PureEdDSA) it is the only way
  267. to verify data.
  268. .PP
  269. In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types
  270. and public key algorithms. This meant that \*(L"clone\*(R" digests such as \fBEVP_dss1()\fR
  271. needed to be used to sign using \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1DSA.\s0 This is no longer necessary and
  272. the use of clone digest is now discouraged.
  273. .PP
  274. For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded.
  275. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL \s-1CSPRNG\s0 fails due to
  276. external circumstances (see \s-1\fBRAND\s0\fR\|(7)), the operation will fail.
  277. .PP
  278. The call to \fBEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest
  279. context. This means that \fBEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR can
  280. be called later to digest and verify additional data. Applications may disable
  281. this behavior by setting the \s-1EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_FINALISE\s0 context flag via
  282. \&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_set_flags\fR\|(3).
  283. .PP
  284. Note that not all providers support continuation, in case the selected
  285. provider does not allow to duplicate contexts \fBEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR will
  286. finalize the digest context and attempting to process additional data via
  287. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR will result in an error.
  288. .PP
  289. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR functions can be called
  290. multiple times on a context and the parameters set by previous calls should be
  291. preserved if the \fIpkey\fR parameter is \s-1NULL.\s0 The call then just resets the state
  292. of the \fIctx\fR.
  293. .PP
  294. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerify()\fR can only be called once, and cannot be used again without
  295. reinitialising the \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR by calling \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR.
  296. .PP
  297. Ignoring failure returns of \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex()\fR
  298. functions can lead to subsequent undefined behavior when calling
  299. \&\fBEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR, or \fBEVP_DigestVerify()\fR.
