.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR initializes a public key algorithm context
\&\fIctx\fR for signing using the algorithm given when the context was created
using \fBEVP_PKEY_CTX_new\fR\|(3) or variants thereof.  The algorithm is used to
fetch a \fBEVP_SIGNATURE\fR method implicitly, see "Implicit fetch" in \fBprovider\fR\|(7)
for more information about implicit fetches.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex()\fR is the same as
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR but additionally sets the passed parameters
\&\fIparams\fR on the context before returning.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex2()\fR is the same as \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex()\fR,
but works with an explicitly fetched \fBEVP_SIGNATURE\fR \fIalgo\fR.
A context \fIctx\fR without a pre-loaded key cannot be used with this function.
Depending on what algorithm was fetched, certain details revolving around the
treatment of the input to \fBEVP_PKEY_verify()\fR may be pre-determined, and in that
case, those details may normally not be changed.
See "NOTES" below for a deeper explanation.
.PP
The \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover()\fR function recovers signed data
using \fIctx\fR. The signature is specified using the \fIsig\fR and
\&\fIsiglen\fR parameters. If \fIrout\fR is NULL then the maximum size of the output
buffer is written to the \fIroutlen\fR parameter. If \fIrout\fR is not NULL then
before the call the \fIroutlen\fR parameter should contain the length of the
\&\fIrout\fR buffer, if the call is successful recovered data is written to
\&\fIrout\fR and the amount of data written to \fIroutlen\fR.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
Normally an application is only interested in whether a signature verification
operation is successful in those cases the \fBEVP_verify()\fR function should be
used.
.PP
Sometimes however it is useful to obtain the data originally signed using a
signing operation. Only certain public key algorithms can recover a signature
in this way (for example RSA in PKCS padding mode).
.PP
After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
operation.
.PP
After the call to \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex2()\fR, algorithm specific control
operations may not be needed if the chosen algorithm implies that those controls
pre-set (and immutable).
.PP
The function \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover()\fR can be called more than once on the same
context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR and \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover()\fR return 1 for success
and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of \-2
indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
