21The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be
22hidden entirely by defining B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value,

61=head1 DESCRIPTION
62
63All of the functions described on this page are deprecated.
64Applications should instead use the OSSL_PROVIDER APIs.
65
66The B<EVP_MD> type is a structure for digest method implementation.
67It can also have associated public/private key signing and verifying
68routines.
69
70EVP_MD_meth_new() creates a new B<EVP_MD> structure.
71These B<EVP_MD> structures are reference counted.
72
73EVP_MD_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<md>.
74
75EVP_MD_meth_free() decrements the reference count for the B<EVP_MD> structure.
76If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.
77
78EVP_MD_meth_set_input_blocksize() sets the internal input block size
79for the method B<md> to B<blocksize> bytes.
80
81EVP_MD_meth_set_result_size() sets the size of the result that the
82digest method in B<md> is expected to produce to B<resultsize> bytes.
83
84The digest method may have its own private data, which OpenSSL will
85allocate for it.  EVP_MD_meth_set_app_datasize() should be used to
86set the size for it to B<datasize>.
87
88EVP_MD_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional
89behaviours in the particular B<md>.  Several flags can be or'd
90together.  The available flags are:
91
92=over 4
93
94=item EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT
95
96This digest method can only handle one block of input.
97
98=item EVP_MD_FLAG_XOF
99
100This digest method is an extensible-output function (XOF) and supports
101the B<EVP_MD_CTRL_XOF_LEN> control.
102
103=item EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL
104
105When setting up a DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, this flag will have the
106parameter set to NULL by default.  Use this for PKCS#1.  I<Note: if
107combined with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT, the latter will override.>
108
109=item EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT
110
111When setting up a DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, this flag will have the
112parameter be left absent by default.  I<Note: if combined with
113EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL, the latter will be overridden.>
114
115=item EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_CUSTOM
116
117Custom DigestAlgorithmIdentifier handling via ctrl, with
118B<EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT> as default.  I<Note: if combined with
119EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL, the latter will be overridden.>
120Currently unused.
121
122=item EVP_MD_FLAG_FIPS
123
124This digest method is suitable for use in FIPS mode.
125Currently unused.
126
127=back
128
129EVP_MD_meth_set_init() sets the digest init function for B<md>.
130The digest init function is called by EVP_Digest(), EVP_DigestInit(),
131EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_SignInit, EVP_SignInit_ex(), EVP_VerifyInit()
132and EVP_VerifyInit_ex().
133
134EVP_MD_meth_set_update() sets the digest update function for B<md>.
135The digest update function is called by EVP_Digest(), EVP_DigestUpdate() and
136EVP_SignUpdate().
137
138EVP_MD_meth_set_final() sets the digest final function for B<md>.
139The digest final function is called by EVP_Digest(), EVP_DigestFinal(),
140EVP_DigestFinal_ex(), EVP_SignFinal() and EVP_VerifyFinal().
141
142EVP_MD_meth_set_copy() sets the function for B<md> to do extra
143computations after the method's private data structure has been copied
144from one B<EVP_MD_CTX> to another.  If all that's needed is to copy
145the data, there is no need for this copy function.
146Note that the copy function is passed two B<EVP_MD_CTX *>, the private
147data structure is then available with EVP_MD_CTX_get0_md_data().
148This copy function is called by EVP_MD_CTX_copy() and
149EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().
150
151EVP_MD_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for B<md> to do extra
152cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned out and
153freed.
154Note that the cleanup function is passed a B<EVP_MD_CTX *>, the
155private data structure is then available with EVP_MD_CTX_get0_md_data().
156This cleanup function is called by EVP_MD_CTX_reset() and
157EVP_MD_CTX_free().
158
159EVP_MD_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for B<md>.
160See L<EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl(3)> for the available controls.
161
162EVP_MD_meth_get_input_blocksize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_result_size(),
163EVP_MD_meth_get_app_datasize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_flags(),
164EVP_MD_meth_get_init(), EVP_MD_meth_get_update(),
165EVP_MD_meth_get_final(), EVP_MD_meth_get_copy(),
166EVP_MD_meth_get_cleanup() and EVP_MD_meth_get_ctrl() are all used
167to retrieve the method data given with the EVP_MD_meth_set_*()
168functions above.
169
170=head1 RETURN VALUES
171
172EVP_MD_meth_new() and EVP_MD_meth_dup() return a pointer to a newly
173created B<EVP_MD>, or NULL on failure.
174All EVP_MD_meth_set_*() functions return 1.
175EVP_MD_get_input_blocksize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_result_size(),
176EVP_MD_meth_get_app_datasize() and EVP_MD_meth_get_flags() return the
177indicated sizes or flags.
178All other EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their
179respective B<md> function.

184
185=head1 HISTORY
186
187All of these functions were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
188
189The B<EVP_MD> structure was openly available in OpenSSL before version
1901.1.
191The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 1.1.
192The B<EVP_MD> structure created with these functions became reference
193counted in OpenSSL 3.0.
