144.SH "DESCRIPTION"
145.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
146The \s-1EVP\s0 signature routines are a high level interface to digital signatures.
147.PP
148\&\fIEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR sets up verification context \fBctx\fR to use digest
149\&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBimpl\fR and public key \fBpkey\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized
150with \fIEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR before calling this function. If \fBpctx\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0 the
151\&\s-1EVP_PKEY_CTX\s0 of the verification operation will be written to \fB*pctx\fR: this
152can be used to set alternative verification options.
153.PP
154\&\fIEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
155verification context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
156same \fBctx\fR to include additional data. This function is currently implemented
157using a macro.
158.PP
159\&\fIEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR verifies the data in \fBctx\fR against the signature in
160\&\fBsig\fR of length \fBsiglen\fR.
161.SH "RETURN VALUES"
162.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
163\&\fIEVP_DigestVerifyInit()\fR and \fIEVP_DigestVerifyUpdate()\fR return 1 for success and 0
164or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of \-2 indicates
165the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.
166.PP
167Unlike other functions the return value 0 from \fIEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR only
168indicates that the signature did not not verify successfully (that is tbs did
169not match the original data or the signature was of invalid form) it is not an
170indication of a more serious error.
171.PP
172The error codes can be obtained from \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
173.SH "NOTES"
174.IX Header "NOTES"
175The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
176preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
177transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
178.PP
179In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types
180and public key algorithms. This meant that \*(L"clone\*(R" digests such as \fIEVP_dss1()\fR
181needed to be used to sign using \s-1SHA1\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0. This is no longer necessary and
182the use of clone digest is now discouraged.
183.PP
184For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded
185or the operation will fail.
186.PP
187The call to \fIEVP_DigestVerifyFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest
188context. This means that calls to \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR can
189be called later to digest and verify additional data.
190.PP
191Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
192be cleaned up after use by calling \fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR or a memory leak
193will occur.
