DESCRIPTION
The EVP signature routines are a high level interface to digital signatures. Input data is digested first before the signature verification takes place.
EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex() sets up verification context ctx to use a digest with the name mdname and public key pkey. The name of the digest to be used is passed to the provider of the signature algorithm in use. How that provider interprets the digest name is provider specific. The provider may implement that digest directly itself or it may (optionally) choose to fetch it (which could result in a digest from a different provider being selected). If the provider supports fetching the digest then it may use the props argument for the properties to be used during the fetch.
The pkey algorithm is used to fetch a EVP_SIGNATURE method implicitly, to be used for the actual signing. See EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(3). See also DSA
Supports SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 Supports SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512 and SM3 Supports no digests (the digest type must be NULL) Supports SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 Support SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MD5, MD5_SHA1, MD2, MD4, MDC2, SHA3-224, SHA3-256, SHA3-384, SHA3-512 Support no digests (the digest type must be NULL) Supports any digest Will ignore any digest provided. If RSA-PSS is used and restrictions apply then the digest must match. EVP_DigestVerifyInit() works in the same way as EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex() except that the mdname parameter will be inferred from the supplied digest type, and props will be NULL. Where supplied the ENGINE e will be used for the signature verification and digest algorithm implementations. e may be NULL. EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() hashes cnt bytes of data at d into the verification context ctx. This function can be called several times on the same ctx to include additional data. EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() verifies the data in ctx against the signature in sig of length siglen. EVP_DigestVerify() verifies tbslen bytes at tbs against the signature in sig of length siglen. EVP_DigestVerifyInit() and EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for failure. EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() and EVP_DigestVerify() return 1 for success; any other value indicates failure. A return value of zero indicates that the signature did not verify successfully (that is, tbs did not match the original data or the signature had an invalid form), while other values indicate a more serious error (and sometimes also indicate an invalid signature form). The error codes can be obtained from NOTES
The EVP interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible. EVP_DigestVerify() is a one shot operation which verifies a single block of data in one function. For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent to calling EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() and EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(). For algorithms which do not support streaming (e.g. PureEdDSA) it is the only way to verify data. In previous versions of OpenSSL there was a link between message digest types and public key algorithms. This meant that "clone" digests such as EVP_dss1() needed to be used to sign using SHA1 and DSA. This is no longer necessary and the use of clone digest is now discouraged. For some key types and parameters the random number generator must be seeded. If the automatic seeding or reseeding of the OpenSSL CSPRNG fails due to external circumstances (see SEE ALSO

EVP_DigestVerifyInit(), EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() and EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() were added in OpenSSL 1.0.0. EVP_DigestVerifyInit_ex() was added in OpenSSL 3.0. EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() was converted from a macro to a function in OpenSSL 3.0. Copyright 2006-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors. All Rights Reserved.
