70 The EVP digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
72 EVP_MD_CTX_init() initializes digest context B<ctx>.
74 EVP_MD_CTX_create() allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
76 EVP_DigestInit_ex() sets up digest context B<ctx> to use a digest
77 B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized before calling this
78 function. B<type> will typically be supplied by a functionsuch as EVP_sha1().
79 If B<impl> is NULL then the default implementation of digest B<type> is used.
81 EVP_DigestUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
82 digest context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
83 same B<ctx> to hash additional data.
85 EVP_DigestFinal_ex() retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places
86 it in B<md>. If the B<s> parameter is not NULL then the number of
87 bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written
88 to the integer at B<s>, at most B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes will be written.
89 After calling EVP_DigestFinal_ex() no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate()
90 can be made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex() can be called to initialize a new
93 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() cleans up digest context B<ctx>, it should be called
94 after a digest context is no longer needed.
96 EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() cleans up digest context B<ctx> and frees up the
97 space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created
98 using EVP_MD_CTX_create().
100 EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() can be used to copy the message digest state from
101 B<in> to B<out>. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be
102 hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. B<out> must be initialized
103 before calling this function.
105 EVP_DigestInit() behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex() except
106 the passed context B<ctx> does not have to be initialized, and it always
107 uses the default digest implementation.
109 EVP_DigestFinal() is similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except the digest
110 context B<ctx> is automatically cleaned up.
112 EVP_MD_CTX_copy() is similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination
113 B<out> does not have to be initialized.
115 EVP_MD_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_size() return the size of the message digest
116 when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure, i.e. the size of the
119 EVP_MD_block_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() return the block size of the
120 message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure.
122 EVP_MD_type() and EVP_MD_CTX_type() return the NID of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER
123 representing the given message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> structure.
124 For example EVP_MD_type(EVP_sha1()) returns B<NID_sha1>. This function is
125 normally used when setting ASN1 OIDs.
127 EVP_MD_CTX_md() returns the B<EVP_MD> structure corresponding to the passed
130 EVP_MD_pkey_type() returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated
131 with this digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will
132 return B<NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption>. Since digests and signature algorithms
133 are no longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility
136 EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(),
137 EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return B<EVP_MD>
138 structures for the MD2, MD5, SHA, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MDC2
139 and RIPEMD160 digest algorithms respectively.
141 EVP_dss() and EVP_dss1() return B<EVP_MD> structures for SHA and SHA1 digest
142 algorithms but using DSS (DSA) for the signature algorithm. Note: there is
143 no need to use these pseudo-digests in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, they are
144 however retained for compatibility.
146 EVP_md_null() is a "null" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it
147 returns is of zero length.
149 EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj()
150 return an B<EVP_MD> structure when passed a digest name, a digest NID or
151 an ASN1_OBJECT structure respectively. The digest table must be initialized
152 using, for example, OpenSSL_add_all_digests() for these functions to work.
156 EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() return 1 for
157 success and 0 for failure.
159 EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
161 EVP_MD_type(), EVP_MD_pkey_type() and EVP_MD_type() return the NID of the
162 corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if none exists.
164 EVP_MD_size(), EVP_MD_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_size(e), EVP_MD_size(),
165 EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() and EVP_MD_block_size() return the digest or block
168 EVP_md_null(), EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_dss(),
169 EVP_dss1(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return pointers to the
170 corresponding EVP_MD structures.
172 EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj()
173 return either an B<EVP_MD> structure or NULL if an error occurs.
177 The B<EVP> interface to message digests should almost always be used in
178 preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
179 transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.
181 New applications should use the SHA2 digest algorithms such as SHA256.
182 The other digest algorithms are still in common use.
184 For most applications the B<impl> parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be
185 set to NULL to use the default digest implementation.
187 The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are
188 obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
189 applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and
190 EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
191 instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
192 implementations of digests to be specified.
194 In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use
195 memory leaks will occur.
197 Stack allocation of EVP_MD_CTX structures is common, for example:
200 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx);
202 This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of EVP_MD_CTX
203 structure changes (this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL).
204 Applications wishing to avoid this should use EVP_MD_CTX_create() instead:
207 mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
212 This example digests the data "Test Message\n" and "Hello World\n", using the
213 digest name passed on the command line.
216 #include <openssl/evp.h>
218 main(int argc, char *argv[])
222 char mess1[] = "Test Message\n";
223 char mess2[] = "Hello World\n";
224 unsigned char md_value[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
227 OpenSSL_add_all_digests();
230 printf("Usage: mdtest digestname\n");
234 md = EVP_get_digestbyname(argv[1]);
237 printf("Unknown message digest %s\n", argv[1]);
241 mdctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
242 EVP_DigestInit_ex(mdctx, md, NULL);
243 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess1, strlen(mess1));
244 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess2, strlen(mess2));
245 EVP_DigestFinal_ex(mdctx, md_value, &md_len);
246 EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(mdctx);
248 printf("Digest is: ");
249 for(i = 0; i < md_len; i++) printf("%02x", md_value[i]);
255 L<evp(3)|evp(3)>, L<hmac(3)|hmac(3)>, L<md2(3)|md2(3)>,

261 EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal() are
262 available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
264 EVP_MD_CTX_init(), EVP_MD_CTX_create(), EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex(),
265 EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(), EVP_DigestInit_ex()
266 and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
268 EVP_md_null(), EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(),
269 EVP_dss(), EVP_dss1(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() were
270 changed to return truely const EVP_MD * in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
272 The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and
273 later, so now EVP_sha1() can be used with RSA and DSA, there is no need to
274 use EVP_dss1() any more.
276 OpenSSL 1.0 and later does not include the MD2 digest algorithm in the
277 default configuration due to its security weaknesses.
