DESCRIPTION
The EVP digest routines are a high level interface to message digests.
EVP_MD_CTX_init() initializes digest context ctx.
EVP_MD_CTX_create() allocates, initializes and returns a digest context.
EVP_DigestInit_ex() sets up digest context ctx to use a digest type from ENGINE impl. ctx
must be initialized before calling this function. type will typically be supplied by a
function such as EVP_sha1(). If impl is NULL then the default implementation of digest
type is used.
EVP_DigestUpdate() hashes cnt bytes of data at d into the digest context ctx. This
function can be called several times on the same ctx to hash additional data.
EVP_DigestFinal_ex() retrieves the digest value from ctx and places it in md. If the s
parameter is not NULL then the number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the
digest) will be written to the integer at s, at most EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes will be
written. After calling EVP_DigestFinal_ex() no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() can
be made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex() can be called to initialize a new digest operation.
EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() cleans up digest context ctx, it should be called after a digest
context is no longer needed.
EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() cleans up digest context ctx and frees up the space allocated to it,
it should be called only on a context created using EVP_MD_CTX_create().
EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() can be used to copy the message digest state from in to out. This is
useful if large amounts of data are to be hashed which only differ in the last few bytes.
out must be initialized before calling this function.
EVP_DigestInit() behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex() except the passed context
ctx does not have to be initialized, and it always uses the default digest implementation.
EVP_DigestFinal() is similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except the digest context ctx is
automatically cleaned up.
EVP_MD_CTX_copy() is similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination out does not
have to be initialized.
EVP_MD_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_size() return the size of the message digest when passed an
EVP_MD or an EVP_MD_CTX structure, i.e. the size of the hash.
EVP_MD_block_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() return the block size of the message
digest when passed an EVP_MD or an EVP_MD_CTX structure.
EVP_MD_type() and EVP_MD_CTX_type() return the NID of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER representing
the given message digest when passed an EVP_MD structure. For example
EVP_MD_type(EVP_sha1()) returns NID_sha1. This function is normally used when setting ASN1
OIDs.
EVP_MD_CTX_md() returns the EVP_MD structure corresponding to the passed EVP_MD_CTX.
EVP_MD_pkey_type() returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated with
this digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will return
NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption. Since digests and signature algorithms are no longer linked
this function is only retained for compatibility reasons.
EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(), EVP_sha384(),
EVP_sha512(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return EVP_MD structures for the MD2, MD5,
SHA, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, MDC2 and RIPEMD160 digest algorithms
respectively.
EVP_dss() and EVP_dss1() return EVP_MD structures for SHA and SHA1 digest algorithms but
using DSS (DSA) for the signature algorithm. Note: there is no need to use these pseudo-
digests in OpenSSL 1.0.0 and later, they are however retained for compatibility.
EVP_md_null() is a "null" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it returns is of
zero length.
EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() return an EVP_MD
structure when passed a digest name, a digest NID or an ASN1_OBJECT structure
respectively. The digest table must be initialized using, for example,
OpenSSL_add_all_digests() for these functions to work.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() return 1 for success and
0 for failure.
EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
EVP_MD_type(), EVP_MD_pkey_type() and EVP_MD_type() return the NID of the corresponding
OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if none exists.
EVP_MD_size(), EVP_MD_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_size() and EVP_MD_CTX_block_size() return
the digest or block size in bytes.
EVP_md_null(), EVP_md2(), EVP_md5(), EVP_sha(), EVP_sha1(), EVP_sha224(), EVP_sha256(),
EVP_sha384(), EVP_sha512(), EVP_dss(), EVP_dss1(), EVP_mdc2() and EVP_ripemd160() return
pointers to the corresponding EVP_MD structures.
EVP_get_digestbyname(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() return either an
EVP_MD structure or NULL if an error occurs.
NOTES
The EVP interface to message digests should almost always be used in preference to the low
level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes transparent to the digest used and
much more flexible.
New applications should use the SHA2 digest algorithms such as SHA256. The other digest
algorithms are still in common use.
For most applications the impl parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be set to NULL to use
the default digest implementation.
The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are obsolete but
are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New applications should use
EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can
efficiently reuse a digest context instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call
and allow non default implementations of digests to be specified.
In OpenSSL 0.9.7 and later if digest contexts are not cleaned up after use memory leaks
will occur.
Stack allocation of EVP_MD_CTX structures is common, for example:
EVP_MD_CTX mctx;
EVP_MD_CTX_init(&mctx);
This will cause binary compatibility issues if the size of EVP_MD_CTX structure changes
(this will only happen with a major release of OpenSSL). Applications wishing to avoid
this should use EVP_MD_CTX_create() instead:
EVP_MD_CTX *mctx;
mctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
EXAMPLE
This example digests the data "Test Message\n" and "Hello World\n", using the digest name
passed on the command line.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
EVP_MD_CTX *mdctx;
const EVP_MD *md;
char mess1[] = "Test Message\n";
char mess2[] = "Hello World\n";
unsigned char md_value[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
int md_len, i;
OpenSSL_add_all_digests();
if(!argv[1]) {
printf("Usage: mdtest digestname\n");
exit(1);
}
md = EVP_get_digestbyname(argv[1]);
if(!md) {
printf("Unknown message digest %s\n", argv[1]);
exit(1);
}
mdctx = EVP_MD_CTX_create();
EVP_DigestInit_ex(mdctx, md, NULL);
EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess1, strlen(mess1));
EVP_DigestUpdate(mdctx, mess2, strlen(mess2));
EVP_DigestFinal_ex(mdctx, md_value, &md_len);
EVP_MD_CTX_destroy(mdctx);
printf("Digest is: ");
for(i = 0; i < md_len; i++)
printf("%02x", md_value[i]);
printf("\n");
/* Call this once before exit. */
EVP_cleanup();
exit(0);
}

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