=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The EVP signature verification routines are a high-level interface to digital
|
||
|
|
signatures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyInit_ex() sets up verification context I<ctx> to use digest
|
||
|
|
I<type> from ENGINE I<impl>. I<ctx> must be created by calling
|
||
|
|
EVP_MD_CTX_new() before calling this function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyUpdate() hashes I<cnt> bytes of data at I<d> into the
|
||
|
|
verification context I<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
|
||
|
|
same I<ctx> to include additional data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyFinal_ex() verifies the data in I<ctx> using the public key
|
||
|
|
I<pkey> and I<siglen> bytes in I<sigbuf>.
|
||
|
|
The library context I<libctx> and property query I<propq> are used when creating
|
||
|
|
a context to use with the key I<pkey>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyFinal() is similar to EVP_VerifyFinal_ex() but uses default
|
||
|
|
values of NULL for the library context I<libctx> and the property query I<propq>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyInit() initializes verification context I<ctx> to use the default
|
||
|
|
implementation of digest I<type>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyInit_ex() and EVP_VerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for
|
||
|
|
failure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyFinal_ex() and EVP_VerifyFinal() return 1 for a correct
|
||
|
|
signature, 0 for failure and a negative value if some other error occurred.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The B<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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The call to EVP_VerifyFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
|
||
|
|
This means that calls to EVP_VerifyUpdate() and EVP_VerifyFinal() can be called
|
||
|
|
later to digest and verify additional data. Applications may disable this
|
||
|
|
behavior by setting the EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_FINALISE context flag via
|
||
|
|
L<EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(3)>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that not all providers support continuation, in case the selected
|
||
|
|
provider does not allow to duplicate contexts EVP_VerifyFinal() will
|
||
|
|
finalize the digest context and attempting to process additional data via
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyUpdate() will result in an error.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
|
||
|
|
EVP_VerifyUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_VerifyFinal().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the public key is passed in the call to EVP_SignFinal() 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 EVP_SignUpdate().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_DigestVerify*() function.
