.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The EVP signature verification routines are a high level interface to
|
|
digital signatures.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit_ex
|
|
sets up a verification context
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
to use the digest
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
from
|
|
.Vt ENGINE
|
|
.Fa impl .
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
must be initialized by calling
|
|
.Xr EVP_MD_CTX_init 3
|
|
before calling this function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate
|
|
hashes
|
|
.Fa cnt
|
|
bytes of data at
|
|
.Fa d
|
|
into the verification context
|
|
.Fa ctx .
|
|
This function can be called several times on the same
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
to include additional data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal
|
|
verifies the data in
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
using the public key
|
|
.Fa pkey
|
|
and against the
|
|
.Fa siglen
|
|
bytes at
|
|
.Fa sigbuf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit
|
|
initializes a verification context
|
|
.Fa ctx
|
|
to use the default implementation of digest
|
|
.Fa type .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The call to
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal
|
|
internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
|
|
This means that calls to
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal
|
|
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
|
|
.Xr EVP_MD_CTX_free 3 ,
|
|
or a memory leak will occur.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit_ex ,
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit
|
|
are implemented as macros.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit_ex
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate
|
|
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal
|
|
returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure, and -1 if some other
|
|
error occurred.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by
|
|
.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit ,
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal
|
|
first appeared in SSLeay 0.5.1 and have been available since
|
|
.Ox 2.4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyInit_ex
|
|
first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and has been available since
|
|
.Ox 3.2 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyUpdate
|
|
could not be made after calling
|
|
.Fn EVP_VerifyFinal .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since the public key is passed in the call to
|
|
.Xr EVP_SignFinal 3 ,
|
|
any error relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and
|
|
digest combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large
|
|
amounts of data have been passed through
|
|
.Xr EVP_SignUpdate 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these
|
|
functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer functions of the
|
|
.Xr EVP_DigestVerifyInit 3
|
|
family.
