  156. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  157. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init()\fR initializes a public key algorithm context \fIctx\fR for
  158. signing using the algorithm given when the context was created
  159. using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3) or variants thereof. The algorithm is used to
  160. fetch a \fB\s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0\fR method implicitly, see \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
  161. for more information about implicit fetches.
  162. .PP
  163. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init_ex()\fR is the same as \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init()\fR but additionally
  164. sets the passed parameters \fIparams\fR on the context before returning.
  165. .PP
  166. The \fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR function performs a public key verification operation
  167. using \fIctx\fR. The signature is specified using the \fIsig\fR and
  168. \&\fIsiglen\fR parameters. The verified data (i.e. the data believed originally
  169. signed) is specified using the \fItbs\fR and \fItbslen\fR parameters.
  170. .SH "NOTES"
  171. .IX Header "NOTES"
  172. After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init()\fR algorithm specific control
  173. operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
  174. operation.
  175. .PP
  176. The function \fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR can be called more than once on the same
  177. context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
  178. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  179. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  180. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR return 1 if the verification was
  181. successful and 0 if it failed. Unlike other functions the return value 0 from
  182. \&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR only indicates that the signature did not verify
  183. successfully (that is tbs did not match the original data or the signature was
  184. of invalid form) it is not an indication of a more serious error.
  185. .PP
  186. A negative value indicates an error other that signature verification failure.
  187. In particular a return value of \-2 indicates the operation is not supported by
  188. the public key algorithm.
