41=head1 DESCRIPTION
42
43X509_digest_sig() calculates a digest of the given certificate I<cert>
44using the same hash algorithm as in its signature, if the digest
45is an integral part of the certificate signature algorithm identifier.
46Otherwise, a fallback hash algorithm is determined as follows:
47SHA512 if the signature algorithm is ED25519,
48SHAKE256 if it is ED448, otherwise SHA256.
49The output parameters are assigned as follows.
50Unless I<md_used> is NULL, the hash algorithm used is provided
51in I<*md_used> and must be freed by the caller (if it is not NULL).
52Unless I<md_is_fallback> is NULL,
53the I<*md_is_fallback> is set to 1 if the hash algorithm used is a fallback,
54otherwise to 0.
55
56X509_pubkey_digest() returns a digest of the DER representation of the public
57key in the specified X509 I<data> object.
58
59All other functions described here return a digest of the DER representation
60of their entire I<data> objects.
61
62The I<type> parameter specifies the digest to
63be used, such as EVP_sha1(). The I<md> is a pointer to the buffer where the
64digest will be copied and is assumed to be large enough; the constant
65B<EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE> is suggested. The I<len> parameter, if not NULL, points
66to a place where the digest size will be stored.
67
68=head1 RETURN VALUES
69
70X509_digest_sig() returns an ASN1_OCTET_STRING pointer on success, else NULL.
71
72All other functions described here return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
