.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \s-1EVP\s0 digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR initializes digest contet \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR allocates, initializes and returns a digest contet.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR sets up digest context \fBctx\fR to use a digest
\&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBimpl\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized before calling this
function. \fBtype\fR will typically be supplied by a functionsuch as \fIEVP_sha1()\fR.
If \fBimpl\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the default implementation of digest \fBtype\fR is used.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
digest context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
same \fBctx\fR to hash additional data.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR retrieves the digest value from \fBctx\fR and places
it in \fBmd\fR. If the \fBs\fR parameter is not \s-1NULL\s0 then the number of
bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written
to the integer at \fBs\fR, at most \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\s0\fR bytes will be written.
After calling \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR no additional calls to \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR
can be made, but \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR can be called to initialize a new
digest operation.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR, it should be called
after a digest context is no longer needed.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_destroy()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR and frees up the
space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created
using \fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR can be used to copy the message digest state from
\&\fBin\fR to \fBout\fR. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be
hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. \fBout\fR must be initialized
before calling this function.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR behaves in the same way as \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR except
the passed context \fBctx\fR does not have to be initialized, and it always
uses the default digest implementation.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR is similar to \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR except the digest
contet \fBctx\fR is automatically cleaned up.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR is similar to \fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR except the destination
\&\fBout\fR does not have to be initialized.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_size()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_size()\fR return the size of the message digest
when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR or an \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR structure, i.e. the size of the
hash.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_block_size()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR return the block size of the
message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR or an \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_type()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the \s-1OBJECT\s0 \s-1IDENTIFIER\s0
representing the given message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure.
For example EVP_MD_type(\fIEVP_sha1()\fR) returns \fBNID_sha1\fR. This function is
normally used when setting \s-1ASN1\s0 OIDs.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_md()\fR returns the \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure corresponding to the passed
\&\fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR returns the \s-1NID\s0 of the public key signing algorithm associated
with this digest. For example \fIEVP_sha1()\fR is associated with \s-1RSA\s0 so this will
return \fBNID_sha1WithRSAEncryption\fR. This \*(L"link\*(R" between digests and signature
algorithms may not be retained in future versions of OpenSSL.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_md2()\fR, \fIEVP_md5()\fR, \fIEVP_sha()\fR, \fIEVP_sha1()\fR, \fIEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fIEVP_ripemd160()\fR
return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structures for the \s-1MD2\s0, \s-1MD5\s0, \s-1SHA\s0, \s-1SHA1\s0, \s-1MDC2\s0 and \s-1RIPEMD160\s0 digest
algorithms respectively. The associated signature algorithm is \s-1RSA\s0 in each case.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_dss()\fR and \fIEVP_dss1()\fR return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structures for \s-1SHA\s0 and \s-1SHA1\s0 digest
algorithms but using \s-1DSS\s0 (\s-1DSA\s0) for the signature algorithm.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_md_null()\fR is a \*(L"null\*(R" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it
returns is of zero length.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fIEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fIEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
return an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure when passed a digest name, a digest \s-1NID\s0 or
an \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure respectively. The digest table must be initialized
using, for example, \fIOpenSSL_add_all_digests()\fR for these functions to work.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR return 1 for
success and 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_type()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the
corresponding \s-1OBJECT\s0 \s-1IDENTIFIER\s0 or NID_undef if none exists.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_MD_size()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_block_size()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_CTX_size\fR\|(e), \fIEVP_MD_size()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_block_size()\fR return the digest or block
size in bytes.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_md_null()\fR, \fIEVP_md2()\fR, \fIEVP_md5()\fR, \fIEVP_sha()\fR, \fIEVP_sha1()\fR, \fIEVP_dss()\fR,
\&\fIEVP_dss1()\fR, \fIEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fIEVP_ripemd160()\fR return pointers to the
corresponding \s-1EVP_MD\s0 structures.
.PP
\&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fIEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fIEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
return either an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to message digests should almost always be used in
preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.
.PP
\&\s-1SHA1\s0 is the digest of choice for new applications. The other digest algorithms
are still in common use.
.PP
For most applications the \fBimpl\fR parameter to \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR will be
set to \s-1NULL\s0 to use the default digest implementation.
.PP
The functions \fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR are
obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
applications should use \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR and
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
implementations of digests to be specified.
.PP
In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use
memory leaks will occur.
.SH "EXAMPLE"
