<p>EVP_DigestVerifyInit, EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate, EVP_DigestVerifyFinal, EVP_DigestVerify - EVP signature verification functions</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/evp.h>
int EVP_DigestVerifyInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, EVP_PKEY_CTX **pctx,
const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *e, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
int EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, size_t cnt);
int EVP_DigestVerifyFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sig,
size_t siglen);
int EVP_DigestVerify(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sigret,
size_t siglen, const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>The EVP signature routines are a high-level interface to digital signatures.</p>
<p>EVP_DigestVerifyInit() sets up verification context <b>ctx</b> to use digest <b>type</b> from ENGINE <b>e</b> and public key <b>pkey</b>. <b>ctx</b> must be created with EVP_MD_CTX_new() before calling this function. If <b>pctx</b> is not NULL, the EVP_PKEY_CTX of the verification operation will be written to <b>*pctx</b>: this can be used to set alternative verification options. Note that any existing value in <b>*pctx</b> is overwritten. The EVP_PKEY_CTX value returned must not be freed directly by the application if <b>ctx</b> is not assigned an EVP_PKEY_CTX value before being passed to EVP_DigestVerifyInit() (which means the EVP_PKEY_CTX is created inside EVP_DigestVerifyInit() and it will be freed automatically when the EVP_MD_CTX is freed).</p>
<p>No <b>EVP_PKEY_CTX</b> will be created by EVP_DigestSignInit() if the passed <b>ctx</b> has already been assigned one via <a href="../man3/EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx.html">EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx(3)</a>. See also <a href="../man7/SM2.html">SM2(7)</a>.</p>
<p>EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() hashes <b>cnt</b> bytes of data at <b>d</b> into the verification context <b>ctx</b>. This function can be called several times on the same <b>ctx</b> to include additional data. This function is currently implemented using a macro.</p>
<p>EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() verifies the data in <b>ctx</b> against the signature in <b>sig</b> of length <b>siglen</b>.</p>
<p>EVP_DigestVerify() verifies <b>tbslen</b> bytes at <b>tbs</b> against the signature in <b>sig</b> of length <b>siglen</b>.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>EVP_DigestVerifyInit() and EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.</p>
<p>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, <b>tbs</b> 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).</p>
<p>The error codes can be obtained from <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>
<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>
<p>The <b>EVP</b> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="../man7/RAND.html">RAND(7)</a>), the operation will fail.</p>
<p>The call to EVP_DigestVerifyFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. This means that EVP_VerifyUpdate() and EVP_VerifyFinal() can be called later to digest and verify additional data.</p>
<p>Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized, the context must be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_free() or a memory leak will occur.</p>
