B<ctx> must be initialized before calling this 78function. B<type> will typically be supplied by a functionsuch as EVP_sha1(). 79If B<impl> is NULL then the default implementation of digest B<type> is used. 80 81EVP_DigestUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the 82digest context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the 83same B<ctx> to hash additional data. 84 85EVP_DigestFinal_ex() retrieves the digest value from B<ctx> and places 86it in B<md>. If the B<s> parameter is not NULL then the number of 87bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written 88to the integer at B<s>, at most B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> bytes will be written. 89After calling EVP_DigestFinal_ex() no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() 90can be made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex() can be called to initialize a new 91digest operation. 92 93EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() cleans up digest context B<ctx>, it should be called 94after a digest context is no longer needed. 95 96EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() cleans up digest context B<ctx> and frees up the 97space allocated to it, it should be called only on a context created 98using EVP_MD_CTX_create(). 99 100EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() can be used to copy the message digest state from 101B<in> to B<out>. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be 102hashed which only differ in the last few bytes. B<out> must be initialized 103before calling this function. 104 105EVP_DigestInit() behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex() except 106the passed context B<ctx> does not have to be initialized, and it always 107uses the default digest implementation. 108 109EVP_DigestFinal() is similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except the digest 110context B<ctx> is automatically cleaned up. 111 112EVP_MD_CTX_copy() is similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination 113B<out> does not have to be initialized. 114 115EVP_MD_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_size() return the size of the message digest 116when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure, i.e. the size of the 117hash. 118 119EVP_MD_block_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() return the block size of the 120message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> or an B<EVP_MD_CTX> structure. 121 122EVP_MD_type() and EVP_MD_CTX_type() return the NID of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER 123representing the given message digest when passed an B<EVP_MD> structure. 124For example EVP_MD_type(EVP_sha1()) returns B<NID_sha1>. This function is 125normally used when setting ASN1 OIDs. 126 127EVP_MD_CTX_md() returns the B<EVP_MD> structure corresponding to the passed 128B<EVP_MD_CTX>. 129 130EVP_MD_pkey_type() returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated 131with this digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will 132return B<NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption>. Since digests and signature algorithms 133are no longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility 134reasons. 135 136EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(), 137EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return B<EVP_MD> 138structures for the MD2, MD5, SHA, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MDC2 139and RIPEMD160 digest algorithms respectively. 140 141EVP_dss() and EVP_dss1() return B<EVP_MD> structures for SHA and SHA1 digest 142algorithms but using DSS (DSA) for the signature algorithm. Note: there is 143no need to use these pseudo-digests in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, they are 144however retained for compatibility. 145 146EVP_md_null() is a "null" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it 147returns is of zero length. 148 149EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() 150return an B<EVP_MD> structure when passed a digest name, a digest NID or 151an ASN1_OBJECT structure respectively. The digest table must be initialized 152using, for example, OpenSSL_add_all_digests() for these functions to work. 153 154=head1 RETURN VALUES 155 156EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() return 1 for 157success and 0 for failure. 158 159EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure. 160 161EVP_MD_type(), EVP_MD_pkey_type() and EVP_MD_type() return the NID of the 162corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if none exists. 163 164EVP_MD_size(), EVP_MD_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_size() and 165EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() return the digest or block size in bytes. 166 167EVP_md_null(), EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_dss(), 168EVP_dss1(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return pointers to the 169corresponding EVP_MD structures. 170 171EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() 172return either an B<EVP_MD> structure or NULL if an error occurs. 173 174=head1 NOTES 175 176The B<EVP> interface to message digests should almost always be used in 177preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes 178transparent to the digest used and much more flexible. 179 180New applications should use the SHA2 digest algorithms such as SHA256. 181The other digest algorithms are still in common use. 182 183For most applications the B<impl> parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be 184set to NULL to use the default digest implementation. 185 186The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are 187obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New 188applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and 189EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can efficiently reuse a digest context 190instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default 191implementations of digests to be specified. 192 193In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use 194memory leaks will occur. 195 196Stack allocation of EVP_MD_CTX structures is common, for example: 197 198 EVP_MD_CTX mctx; 199 EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx); 200 201This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of EVP_MD_CTX 202structure changes (this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL). 203Applications wishing to avoid this should use EVP_MD_CTX_create() instead: 204 205 EVP_MD_CTX *mctx; 206 mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create(); 207 208 209=head1 EXAMPLE 210 211This example digests the data "Test Message\n" and "Hello World\n", using the 212digest name passed on the command line. 213 214 #include <stdio.h> 215 #include <openssl/evp.h> 216 217 main(int argc, char *argv[]) 218 { 219 EVP_MD_CTX *mdctx; 220 const EVP_MD *md; 221 char mess1[] = "Test Message\n"; 222 char mess2[] = "Hello World\n"; 223 unsigned char md_value[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE]; 224 int md_len, i; 225 226 OpenSSL_add_all_digests(); 227 228 if(!argv[1]) { 229 printf("Usage: mdtest digestname\n"); 230 exit(1); 231 } 232 233 md = EVP_get_digestbyname(argv[1]); 234 235 if(!md) { 236 printf("Unknown message digest %s\n", argv[1]); 237 exit(1); 238 } 239 240 mdctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create(); 241 EVP_DigestInit_ex(mdctx, md, NULL); 242 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess1, strlen(mess1)); 243 EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess2, strlen(mess2)); 244 EVP_DigestFinal_ex(mdctx, md_value, &md_len); 245 EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(mdctx); 246 247 printf("Digest is: "); 248 for(i = 0; i < md_len; i++) 249 printf("%02x", md_value[i]); 250 printf("\n"); 251 252 /* Call this once before exit. */ 253 EVP_cleanup(); 254 exit(0); 255 } 256 257=head1 SEE ALSO 258 259L<dgst(1)|dgst(1)>, 260L<evp(3)|evp(3)> 261 262=head1 HISTORY 263 264EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal() are 265available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. 266 267EVP_MD_CTX_init(), EVP_MD_CTX_create(), EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex(), 268EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup(), EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(), EVP_DigestInit_ex() 269and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7. 270 271EVP_md_null(), EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), 272EVP_dss(), EVP_dss1(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() were 273changed to return truly const EVP_MD * in OpenSSL 0.9.7. 274 275The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and 276later, so now EVP_sha1() can be used with RSA and DSA; there is no need to 277use EVP_dss1() any more. 278 279OpenSSL 1.0 and later does not include the MD2 digest algorithm in the 280default configuration due to its security weaknesses. 281 282=cut 283
