|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
The \s-1EVP\s0 signature verification routines are a high level interface to digital
|
|
signatures.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit_ex()\fR sets up verification context \fBctx\fR to use digest
|
|
\&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBimpl\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized by calling
|
|
\&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR before calling this function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
|
|
verification context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
|
|
same \fBctx\fR to include additional data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR verifies the data in \fBctx\fR using the public key \fBpkey\fR
|
|
and against the \fBsiglen\fR bytes at \fBsigbuf\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit()\fR initializes verification context \fBctx\fR to use the default
|
|
implementation of digest \fBtype\fR.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit_ex()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for
|
|
failure.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure and \-1 if some
|
|
other error occurred.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
|
|
.SH "NOTES"
|
|
.IX Header "NOTES"
|
|
The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Due to the link between message digests and public key algorithms the correct
|
|
digest algorithm must be used with the correct public key type. A list of
|
|
algorithms and associated public key algorithms appears in
|
|
\&\fIEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The call to \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
|
|
This means that calls to \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR can be called
|
|
later to digest and verify additional data.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
|
|
be cleaned up after use by calling \fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR or a memory leak
|
|
will occur.
|
|
.SH "BUGS"
|
|
.IX Header "BUGS"
|
|
Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
|
|
\&\fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR could not be made after calling \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR.
