.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \s-1EVP\s0 digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR initializes digest context \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR sets up digest context \fBctx\fR to use a digest
\&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE\s0 \fBimpl\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized before calling this
function. \fBtype\fR will typically be supplied by a function such as \fBEVP_sha1()\fR.
If \fBimpl\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the default implementation of digest \fBtype\fR is used.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
digest context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
same \fBctx\fR to hash additional data.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR retrieves the digest value from \fBctx\fR and places
it in \fBmd\fR. If the \fBs\fR parameter is not \s-1NULL\s0 then the number of
bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written
to the integer at \fBs\fR, at most \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\s0\fR bytes will be written.
After calling \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR no additional calls to \fBEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR
can be made, but \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR can be called to initialize a new
digest operation.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR, it should be called
after a digest context is no longer needed.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_destroy()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR and frees up the
space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created
using \fBEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR can be used to copy the message digest state from
\&\fBin\fR to \fBout\fR. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be
hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. \fBout\fR must be initialized
before calling this function.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_DigestInit()\fR behaves in the same way as \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR except
the passed context \fBctx\fR does not have to be initialized, and it always
uses the default digest implementation.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_DigestFinal()\fR is similar to \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR except the digest
context \fBctx\fR is automatically cleaned up.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR is similar to \fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR except the destination
\&\fBout\fR does not have to be initialized.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_size()\fR and \fBEVP_MD_CTX_size()\fR return the size of the message digest
when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR or an \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR structure, i.e. the size of the
hash.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_block_size()\fR and \fBEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR return the block size of the
message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR or an \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR structure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_type()\fR and \fBEVP_MD_CTX_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the \s-1OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0
representing the given message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure.
For example EVP_MD_type(\fBEVP_sha1()\fR) returns \fBNID_sha1\fR. This function is
normally used when setting \s-1ASN1\s0 OIDs.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_md()\fR returns the \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure corresponding to the passed
\&\fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR returns the \s-1NID\s0 of the public key signing algorithm associated
with this digest. For example \fBEVP_sha1()\fR is associated with \s-1RSA\s0 so this will
return \fBNID_sha1WithRSAEncryption\fR. Since digests and signature algorithms
are no longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility
reasons.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_md2()\fR, \fBEVP_md5()\fR, \fBEVP_sha()\fR, \fBEVP_sha1()\fR, \fBEVP_sha224()\fR, \fBEVP_sha256()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_sha384()\fR, \fBEVP_sha512()\fR, \fBEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR
structures for the \s-1MD2, MD5, SHA, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MDC2\s0
and \s-1RIPEMD160\s0 digest algorithms respectively.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_dss()\fR and \fBEVP_dss1()\fR return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structures for \s-1SHA\s0 and \s-1SHA1\s0 digest
algorithms but using \s-1DSS\s0 (\s-1DSA\s0) for the signature algorithm. Note: there is
no need to use these pseudo-digests in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, they are
however retained for compatibility.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_md_null()\fR is a \*(L"null\*(R" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it
returns is of zero length.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fBEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fBEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
return an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure when passed a digest name, a digest \s-1NID\s0 or
an \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure respectively. The digest table must be initialized
using, for example, \fBOpenSSL_add_all_digests()\fR for these functions to work.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR return 1 for
success and 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_type()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR and \fBEVP_MD_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the
corresponding \s-1OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0 or NID_undef if none exists.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_size()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_block_size()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_CTX_size()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR return the digest or block size in bytes.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_md_null()\fR, \fBEVP_md2()\fR, \fBEVP_md5()\fR, \fBEVP_sha()\fR, \fBEVP_sha1()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_sha224()\fR, \fBEVP_sha256()\fR, \fBEVP_sha384()\fR, \fBEVP_sha512()\fR, \fBEVP_dss()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_dss1()\fR, \fBEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR return pointers to the
corresponding \s-1EVP_MD\s0 structures.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fBEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fBEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
return either an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to message digests should almost always be used in
preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.
.PP
New applications should use the \s-1SHA2\s0 digest algorithms such as \s-1SHA256.\s0
The other digest algorithms are still in common use.
.PP
For most applications the \fBimpl\fR parameter to \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR will be
set to \s-1NULL\s0 to use the default digest implementation.
.PP
The functions \fBEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestFinal()\fR and \fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR are
obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
applications should use \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR and
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
implementations of digests to be specified.
.PP
In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use
memory leaks will occur.
.PP
Stack allocation of \s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0 structures is common, for example:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_MD_CTX mctx;
\& EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx);
.Ve
.PP
This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of \s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0
structure changes (this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL).
Applications wishing to avoid this should use \fBEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR instead:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& EVP_MD_CTX *mctx;
\& mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
.Ve

\&\fBEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestFinal()\fR are
available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR, \fBEVP_MD_CTX_destroy()\fR, \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR
and \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
.PP
\&\fBEVP_md_null()\fR, \fBEVP_md2()\fR, \fBEVP_md5()\fR, \fBEVP_sha()\fR, \fBEVP_sha1()\fR,
\&\fBEVP_dss()\fR, \fBEVP_dss1()\fR, \fBEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fBEVP_ripemd160()\fR were
changed to return truly const \s-1EVP_MD\s0 * in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
.PP
The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and
later, so now \fBEVP_sha1()\fR can be used with \s-1RSA\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0; there is no need to
use \fBEVP_dss1()\fR any more.
.PP
OpenSSL 1.0 and later does not include the \s-1MD2\s0 digest algorithm in the
default configuration due to its security weaknesses.
