B must be initialized by calling -EVP_MD_CTX_init() before calling this function. - -EVP_VerifyUpdate() hashes B bytes of data at B into the -verification context B. This function can be called several times on the -same B to include additional data. - -EVP_VerifyFinal() verifies the data in B using the public key B -and against the B bytes at B. - -EVP_VerifyInit() initializes verification context B to use the default -implementation of digest B. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -EVP_VerifyInit_ex() and EVP_VerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for -failure. - -EVP_VerifyFinal() returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure and -1 if some -other error occurred. - -The error codes can be obtained by L. - -=head1 NOTES - -The B 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. - -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 -L. - -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. - -Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must -be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() or a memory leak -will occur. - -=head1 BUGS - -Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to -EVP_VerifyUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_VerifyFinal(). - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L, -L, -L, L, -L, L, L, -L, L, L, -L, L - -=head1 HISTORY - -EVP_VerifyInit(), EVP_VerifyUpdate() and EVP_VerifyFinal() are -available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. - -EVP_VerifyInit_ex() was added in OpenSSL 0.9.7 - -=cut -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g6feb
