.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_VERIFY 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_PKEY_verify_init, EVP_PKEY_verify - signature verification using a public key algorithm Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_verify_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_verify(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const unsigned char *sig, size_t siglen, const unsigned char *tbs, size_t tbslen); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" The EVP_PKEY_verify_init() function initializes a public key algorithm context using key pkey for a signature verification operation.

The EVP_PKEY_verify() function performs a public key verification operation using ctx. The signature is specified using the sig and \fBsiglen parameters. The verified data (i.e. the data believed originally signed) is specified using the tbs and tbslen parameters.

Header "NOTES" After the call to EVP_PKEY_verify_init() algorithm specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the operation.

The function EVP_PKEY_verify() can be called more than once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_init() and EVP_PKEY_verify() return 1 if the verification was successful and 0 if it failed. Unlike other functions the return value 0 from \fBEVP_PKEY_verify() only indicates that the signature did not verify successfully (that is tbs did not match the original data or the signature was of invalid form) it is not an indication of a more serious error.

A negative value indicates an error other that signature verification failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.

Header "EXAMPLES" Verify signature using PKCS#1 and \s-1SHA256\s0 digest:

.Vb 2 #include <openssl/evp.h> #include <openssl/rsa.h> \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx; unsigned char *md, *sig; size_t mdlen, siglen; EVP_PKEY *verify_key; \& /* * NB: assumes verify_key, sig, siglen md and mdlen are already set up * and that verify_key is an RSA public key */ ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(verify_key, NULL /* no engine */); if (!ctx) /* Error occurred */ if (EVP_PKEY_verify_init(ctx) <= 0) /* Error */ if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_rsa_padding(ctx, RSA_PKCS1_PADDING) <= 0) /* Error */ if (EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_signature_md(ctx, EVP_sha256()) <= 0) /* Error */ \& /* Perform operation */ ret = EVP_PKEY_verify(ctx, sig, siglen, md, mdlen); \& /* * ret == 1 indicates success, 0 verify failure and < 0 for some * other error. */ .Ve
