 This is because the code then becomes transparent to the algorithm used

-In previous versions of OpenSSL, there was a link between message digest
-types and public key algorithms.
-This meant that "clone" digests such as
-.Xr EVP_dss1 3

-This is no longer necessary and the use of clone digest is now

 The call to
