This function can be called several times on the +same \fBctx\fR to include additional data. +.PP +\&\fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR verifies the data in \fBctx\fR using the public key \fBpkey\fR +and against the \fBsiglen\fR bytes at \fBsigbuf\fR. +.PP +\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit()\fR initializes verification context \fBctx\fR to use the default +implementation of digest \fBtype\fR. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit_ex()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for +failure. +.PP +\&\fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure and \-1 if some +other error occurred. +.PP +The error codes can be obtained by \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3). +.SH "NOTES" +.IX Header "NOTES" +The \fB\s-1EVP\s0\fR 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. +.PP +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 +\&\fIEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3). +.PP +The call to \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR internally finalizes a copy of the digest context. +This means that calls to \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR can be called +later to digest and verify additional data. +.PP +Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must +be cleaned up after use by calling \fIEVP_MD_CTX_cleanup()\fR or a memory leak +will occur. +.SH "BUGS" +.IX Header "BUGS" +Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to +\&\fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR could not be made after calling \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR. +.PP +Since the public key is passed in the call to \fIEVP_SignFinal()\fR any error +relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest +combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of +data have been passed through \fIEVP_SignUpdate()\fR. +.PP +It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function. +.PP +The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_VerifyDigest*() function. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fIevp\fR\|(3), +\&\fIEVP_SignInit\fR\|(3), +\&\fIEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3), \fIerr\fR\|(3), +\&\fIevp\fR\|(3), \fIhmac\fR\|(3), \fImd2\fR\|(3), +\&\fImd5\fR\|(3), \fImdc2\fR\|(3), \fIripemd\fR\|(3), +\&\fIsha\fR\|(3), \fIdgst\fR\|(1) +.SH "HISTORY" +.IX Header "HISTORY" +\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit()\fR, \fIEVP_VerifyUpdate()\fR and \fIEVP_VerifyFinal()\fR are +available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. +.PP +\&\fIEVP_VerifyInit_ex()\fR was added in OpenSSL 0.9.7 |
