+- EVP signature verification functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
int EVP_VerifyInit_ex(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *impl);
int EVP_VerifyUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
- int EVP_VerifyFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx,unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen,EVP_PKEY *pkey);
+ int EVP_VerifyFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
int EVP_VerifyInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);
signatures.
EVP_VerifyInit_ex() sets up verification context B<ctx> to use digest
-B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be initialized by calling
-EVP_MD_CTX_init() before calling this function.
+B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be created by calling
+EVP_MD_CTX_new() before calling this function.
EVP_VerifyUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
verification context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
EVP_VerifyFinal() returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure and -1 if some
other error occurred.
-The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
+The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
=head1 NOTES
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
-L<EVP_DigestInit(3)|EVP_DigestInit(3)>.
+algorithms and associated public key algorithms appears in
+L<EVP_DigestInit(3)>.
The call to EVP_VerifyFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
This means that calls to EVP_VerifyUpdate() and EVP_VerifyFinal() can be called
=head1 BUGS
-Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
+Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
EVP_VerifyUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_VerifyFinal().
Since the public key is passed in the call to EVP_SignFinal() any error
