210 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
211 The \s-1EVP\s0 digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
213 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR initializes digest context \fBctx\fR.
215 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
217 \&\fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR sets up digest context \fBctx\fR to use a digest
218 \&\fBtype\fR from \s-1ENGINE \s0\fBimpl\fR. \fBctx\fR must be initialized before calling this
219 function. \fBtype\fR will typically be supplied by a functionsuch as \fIEVP_sha1()\fR.
220 If \fBimpl\fR is \s-1NULL\s0 then the default implementation of digest \fBtype\fR is used.
222 \&\fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR hashes \fBcnt\fR bytes of data at \fBd\fR into the
223 digest context \fBctx\fR. This function can be called several times on the
224 same \fBctx\fR to hash additional data.
226 \&\fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR retrieves the digest value from \fBctx\fR and places
227 it in \fBmd\fR. If the \fBs\fR parameter is not \s-1NULL\s0 then the number of
228 bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written
229 to the integer at \fBs\fR, at most \fB\s-1EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE\s0\fR bytes will be written.
230 After calling \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR no additional calls to \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR
231 can be made, but \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR can be called to initialize a new
234 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR, it should be called
235 after a digest context is no longer needed.
237 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_destroy()\fR cleans up digest context \fBctx\fR and frees up the
238 space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created
239 using \fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR.
241 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR can be used to copy the message digest state from
242 \&\fBin\fR to \fBout\fR. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be
243 hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. \fBout\fR must be initialized
244 before calling this function.
246 \&\fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR behaves in the same way as \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR except
247 the passed context \fBctx\fR does not have to be initialized, and it always
248 uses the default digest implementation.
250 \&\fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR is similar to \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR except the digest
251 context \fBctx\fR is automatically cleaned up.
253 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR is similar to \fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR except the destination
254 \&\fBout\fR does not have to be initialized.
256 \&\fIEVP_MD_size()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_size()\fR return the size of the message digest
257 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
260 \&\fIEVP_MD_block_size()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR return the block size of the
261 message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR or an \fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR structure.
263 \&\fIEVP_MD_type()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the \s-1OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0
264 representing the given message digest when passed an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure.
265 For example EVP_MD_type(\fIEVP_sha1()\fR) returns \fBNID_sha1\fR. This function is
266 normally used when setting \s-1ASN1\s0 OIDs.
268 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_md()\fR returns the \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure corresponding to the passed
269 \&\fB\s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0\fR.
271 \&\fIEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR returns the \s-1NID\s0 of the public key signing algorithm associated
272 with this digest. For example \fIEVP_sha1()\fR is associated with \s-1RSA\s0 so this will
273 return \fBNID_sha1WithRSAEncryption\fR. Since digests and signature algorithms
274 are no longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility
277 \&\fIEVP_md2()\fR, \fIEVP_md5()\fR, \fIEVP_sha()\fR, \fIEVP_sha1()\fR, \fIEVP_sha224()\fR, \fIEVP_sha256()\fR,
278 \&\fIEVP_sha384()\fR, \fIEVP_sha512()\fR, \fIEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fIEVP_ripemd160()\fR return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR
279 structures for the \s-1MD2, MD5, SHA, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MDC2\s0
280 and \s-1RIPEMD160\s0 digest algorithms respectively.
282 \&\fIEVP_dss()\fR and \fIEVP_dss1()\fR return \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structures for \s-1SHA\s0 and \s-1SHA1\s0 digest
283 algorithms but using \s-1DSS \s0(\s-1DSA\s0) for the signature algorithm. Note: there is
284 no need to use these pseudo-digests in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, they are
285 however retained for compatibility.
287 \&\fIEVP_md_null()\fR is a \*(L"null\*(R" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it
288 returns is of zero length.
290 \&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fIEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fIEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
291 return an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure when passed a digest name, a digest \s-1NID\s0 or
292 an \s-1ASN1_OBJECT\s0 structure respectively. The digest table must be initialized
293 using, for example, \fIOpenSSL_add_all_digests()\fR for these functions to work.
295 .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
296 \&\fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR return 1 for
297 success and 0 for failure.
299 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
301 \&\fIEVP_MD_type()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_pkey_type()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_type()\fR return the \s-1NID\s0 of the
302 corresponding \s-1OBJECT IDENTIFIER\s0 or NID_undef if none exists.
304 \&\fIEVP_MD_size()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_block_size()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_CTX_size()\fR and
305 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_block_size()\fR return the digest or block size in bytes.
307 \&\fIEVP_md_null()\fR, \fIEVP_md2()\fR, \fIEVP_md5()\fR, \fIEVP_sha()\fR, \fIEVP_sha1()\fR, \fIEVP_dss()\fR,
308 \&\fIEVP_dss1()\fR, \fIEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fIEVP_ripemd160()\fR return pointers to the
309 corresponding \s-1EVP_MD\s0 structures.
311 \&\fIEVP_get_digestbyname()\fR, \fIEVP_get_digestbynid()\fR and \fIEVP_get_digestbyobj()\fR
312 return either an \fB\s-1EVP_MD\s0\fR structure or \s-1NULL\s0 if an error occurs.
315 The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR interface to message digests should almost always be used in
316 preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
317 transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.
319 New applications should use the \s-1SHA2\s0 digest algorithms such as \s-1SHA256.\s0
320 The other digest algorithms are still in common use.
322 For most applications the \fBimpl\fR parameter to \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR will be
323 set to \s-1NULL\s0 to use the default digest implementation.
325 The functions \fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR and \fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy()\fR are
326 obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
327 applications should use \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR and
328 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
329 instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
330 implementations of digests to be specified.
332 In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use
333 memory leaks will occur.
335 Stack allocation of \s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0 structures is common, for example:
339 \& EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx);
342 This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of \s-1EVP_MD_CTX\s0
343 structure changes (this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL).
344 Applications wishing to avoid this should use \fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR instead:
348 \& mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
352 This example digests the data \*(L"Test Message\en\*(R" and \*(L"Hello World\en\*(R", using the
353 digest name passed on the command line.

405 \&\fIEVP_DigestInit()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_DigestFinal()\fR are
406 available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
408 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_init()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_CTX_create()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()\fR,
409 \&\fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR, \fIEVP_MD_CTX_destroy()\fR, \fIEVP_DigestInit_ex()\fR
410 and \fIEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
412 \&\fIEVP_md_null()\fR, \fIEVP_md2()\fR, \fIEVP_md5()\fR, \fIEVP_sha()\fR, \fIEVP_sha1()\fR,
413 \&\fIEVP_dss()\fR, \fIEVP_dss1()\fR, \fIEVP_mdc2()\fR and \fIEVP_ripemd160()\fR were
414 changed to return truely const \s-1EVP_MD\s0 * in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
416 The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and
417 later, so now \fIEVP_sha1()\fR can be used with \s-1RSA\s0 and \s-1DSA\s0; there is no need to
418 use \fIEVP_dss1()\fR any more.
420 OpenSSL 1.0 and later does not include the \s-1MD2\s0 digest algorithm in the
421 default configuration due to its security weaknesses.
