.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fIEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR function initializes a public key algorithm
context using key \fBpkey\fR for a verify recover operation.
.PP
The \fIEVP_PKEY_verify_recover()\fR function recovers signed data
using \fBctx\fR. The signature is specified using the \fBsig\fR and
\&\fBsiglen\fR parameters. If \fBrout\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then the maximum size of the output
buffer is written to the \fBroutlen\fR parameter. If \fBrout\fR is not \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR then
before the call the \fBroutlen\fR parameter should contain the length of the
\&\fBrout\fR buffer, if the call is successful recovered data is written to
\&\fBrout\fR and the amount of data written to \fBroutlen\fR.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
Normally an application is only interested in whether a signature verification
operation is successful in those cases the \fIEVP_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 \s-1RSA\s0 in \s-1PKCS\s0 padding mode).
.PP
After the call to \fIEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR algorithm specific control
operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the
operation.
.PP
The function \fIEVP_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"
\&\fIEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init()\fR and \fIEVP_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.
