71 The EVP digest routines are a high-level interface to message digests,
72 and should be used instead of the cipher-specific functions.
76 =item EVP_MD_CTX_new()
78 Allocates and returns a digest context.
80 =item EVP_MD_CTX_reset()
82 Resets the digest context B<ctx>. This can be used to reuse an already
85 =item EVP_MD_CTX_free()
87 Cleans up digest context B<ctx> and frees up the space allocated to it.
89 =item EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl()
91 Performs digest-specific control actions on context B<ctx>. The control command
92 is indicated in B<cmd> and any additional arguments in B<p1> and B<p2>.
93 EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() must be called after EVP_DigestInit_ex(). Other restrictions
94 may apply depending on the control type and digest implementation.
95 See L</CONTROLS> below for more information.
97 =item EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(), EVP_MD_CTX_clear_flags(), EVP_MD_CTX_test_flags()
99 Sets, clears and tests B<ctx> flags. See L</FLAGS> below for more information.
103 A wrapper around the Digest Init_ex, Update and Final_ex functions.
104 Hashes B<count> bytes of data at B<data> using a digest B<type> from ENGINE
105 B<impl>. The digest value is placed in B<md> and its length is written at B<size>
106 if the pointer is not NULL. At most B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes will be written.
107 If B<impl> is NULL the default implementation of digest B<type> is used.
109 =item EVP_DigestInit_ex()
111 Sets up digest context B<ctx> to use a digest B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>.
112 B<type> will typically be supplied by a function such as EVP_sha1(). If
113 B<impl> is NULL then the default implementation of digest B<type> is used.
115 =item EVP_DigestUpdate()
117 Hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the digest context B<ctx>. This
118 function can be called several times on the same B<ctx> to hash additional
121 =item EVP_DigestFinal_ex()
123 Retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places it in B<md>. If the B<s>
124 parameter is not NULL then the number of bytes of data written (i.e. the
125 length of the digest) will be written to the integer at B<s>, at most
126 B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes will be written. After calling EVP_DigestFinal_ex()
127 no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() can be made, but
128 EVP_DigestInit_ex() can be called to initialize a new digest operation.
130 =item EVP_DigestFinalXOF()
132 Interfaces to extendable-output functions, XOFs, such as SHAKE128 and SHAKE256.
133 It retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places it in B<len>-sized <B>md.
134 After calling this function no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() can be
135 made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex() can be called to initialize a new operation.
137 =item EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()
139 Can be used to copy the message digest state from B<in> to B<out>. This is
140 useful if large amounts of data are to be hashed which only differ in the last
143 =item EVP_DigestInit()
145 Behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex() except it always uses the
146 default digest implementation and calls EVP_MD_CTX_reset().
148 =item EVP_DigestFinal()
150 Similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except the digest context B<ctx> is
151 automatically cleaned up.
153 =item EVP_MD_CTX_copy()
155 Similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination B<out> does not have to
161 Return the size of the message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an
162 B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure, i.e. the size of the hash.
164 =item EVP_MD_block_size(),
165 EVP_MD_CTX_block_size()
167 Return the block size of the message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an
168 B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure.
173 Return the NID of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER representing the given message digest
174 when passed an B<EVP_MD> structure. For example, C<EVP_MD_type(EVP_sha1())>
175 returns B<NID_sha1>. This function is normally used when setting ASN1 OIDs.
177 =item EVP_MD_CTX_md_data()
179 Return the digest method private data for the passed B<EVP_MD_CTX>.
180 The space is allocated by OpenSSL and has the size originally set with
181 EVP_MD_meth_set_app_datasize().
183 =item EVP_MD_CTX_md()
185 Returns the B<EVP_MD> structure corresponding to the passed B<EVP_MD_CTX>.
187 =item EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn()
189 Sets the update function for B<ctx> to B<update>.
190 This is the function that is called by EVP_DigestUpdate. If not set, the
191 update function from the B<EVP_MD> type specified at initialization is used.
193 =item EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn()
195 Returns the update function for B<ctx>.
199 Returns the B<md> flags. Note that these are different from the B<EVP_MD_CTX>
200 ones. See L<EVP_MD_meth_set_flags(3)> for more information.
202 =item EVP_MD_pkey_type()
204 Returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated with this
205 digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will return
206 B<NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption>. Since digests and signature algorithms are no
207 longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility reasons.
211 A "null" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it returns is of zero
214 =item EVP_get_digestbyname(),
215 EVP_get_digestbynid(),
216 EVP_get_digestbyobj()
218 Returns an B<EVP_MD> structure when passed a digest name, a digest B<NID> or an
219 B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure respectively.
221 =item EVP_MD_CTX_pkey_ctx()
223 Returns the B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> assigned to B<ctx>. The returned pointer should not
224 be freed by the caller.
226 =item EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx()
228 Assigns an B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> to B<EVP_MD_CTX>. This is usually used to provide
229 a customized B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> to L<EVP_DigestSignInit(3)> or
230 L<EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)>. The B<pctx> passed to this function should be freed
231 by the caller. A NULL B<pctx> pointer is also allowed to clear the B<EVP_PKEY_CTX>
232 assigned to B<ctx>. In such case, freeing the cleared B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> or not
233 depends on how the B<EVP_PKEY_CTX> is created.
239 EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() can be used to send the following standard controls:
243 =item EVP_MD_CTRL_MICALG
245 Gets the digest Message Integrity Check algorithm string. This is used when
246 creating S/MIME multipart/signed messages, as specified in RFC 3851.
247 The string value is written to B<p2>.
249 =item EVP_MD_CTRL_XOF_LEN
251 This control sets the digest length for extendable output functions to B<p1>.
252 Sending this control directly should not be necessary, the use of
253 C<EVP_DigestFinalXOF()> is preferred.
254 Currently used by SHAKE.
260 EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(), EVP_MD_CTX_clear_flags() and EVP_MD_CTX_test_flags()
261 can be used the manipulate and test these B<EVP_MD_CTX> flags:
265 =item EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_ONESHOT
267 This flag instructs the digest to optimize for one update only, if possible.
269 =for comment EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_CLEANED is internal, don't mention it
271 =for comment EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_REUSE is internal, don't mention it
273 =for comment We currently avoid documenting flags that are only bit holder:
274 EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_NON_FIPS_ALLOW, EVP_MD_CTX_FLAGS_PAD_*
276 =item EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_NO_INIT
278 This flag instructs EVP_DigestInit() and similar not to initialise the
279 implementation specific data.
281 =item EVP_MD_CTX_FLAG_FINALISE
283 Some functions such as EVP_DigestSign only finalise copies of internal
284 contexts so additional data can be included after the finalisation call.
285 This is inefficient if this functionality is not required, and can be
286 disabled with this flag.
294 =item EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
299 success and 0 for failure.
301 =item EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl()
303 Returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
305 =item EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()
307 Returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
312 Returns the NID of the corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if none
318 EVP_MD_CTX_block_size()
320 Returns the digest or block size in bytes.
324 Returns a pointer to the B<EVP_MD> structure of the "null" message digest.
326 =item EVP_get_digestbyname(),
327 EVP_get_digestbynid(),
328 EVP_get_digestbyobj()
330 Returns either an B<EVP_MD> structure or NULL if an error occurs.
332 =item EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx()
334 This function has no return value.
340 The B<EVP> interface to message digests should almost always be used in
341 preference to the low-level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
342 transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.
344 New applications should use the SHA-2 (such as L<EVP_sha256(3)>) or the SHA-3
345 digest algorithms (such as L<EVP_sha3_512(3)>). The other digest algorithms
346 are still in common use.
348 For most applications the B<impl> parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be
349 set to NULL to use the default digest implementation.
351 The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are
352 obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
353 applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and
354 EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can efficiently reuse a digest context
355 instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default
356 implementations of digests to be specified.
358 If digest contexts are not cleaned up after use,
359 memory leaks will occur.
361 EVP_MD_CTX_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_type(),
362 EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() are defined as
365 EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() sends commands to message digests for additional configuration
370 This example digests the data "Test Message\n" and "Hello World\n", using the
371 digest name passed on the command line.
375 #include <openssl/evp.h>
377 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
381 char mess1[] = "Test Message\n";
382 char mess2[] = "Hello World\n";
383 unsigned char md_value[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
384 unsigned int md_len, i;
386 if (argv[1] == NULL) {
387 printf("Usage: mdtest digestname\n");
391 md = EVP_get_digestbyname(argv[1]);
393 printf("Unknown message digest %s\n", argv[1]);
397 mdctx = EVP_MD_CTX_new();
398 EVP_DigestInit_ex(mdctx, md, NULL);
399 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess1, strlen(mess1));
400 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess2, strlen(mess2));
401 EVP_DigestFinal_ex(mdctx, md_value, &md_len);
402 EVP_MD_CTX_free(mdctx);
404 printf("Digest is: ");
405 for (i = 0; i < md_len; i++)
406 printf("%02x", md_value[i]);
414 L<EVP_MD_meth_new(3)>,
418 The full list of digest algorithms are provided below.
420 L<EVP_blake2b512(3)>,
434 The EVP_MD_CTX_create() and EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() functions were renamed to
435 EVP_MD_CTX_new() and EVP_MD_CTX_free() in OpenSSL 1.1.0, respectively.
437 The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and
438 later, so now EVP_sha1() can be used with RSA and DSA.
440 The EVP_dss1() function was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
442 The EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx() function was added in 1.1.1.
