-=head1 NAME
-
-EVP_VerifyInit_ex,
-EVP_VerifyInit, EVP_VerifyUpdate, EVP_VerifyFinal
-- EVP signature verification functions
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/evp.h>
-
- 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_VerifyInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The EVP signature verification routines are a high level interface to digital
-signatures.
-
-EVP_VerifyInit_ex() sets up verification context B<ctx> to use digest
-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
-same B<ctx> to include additional data.
-
-EVP_VerifyFinal() verifies the data in B<ctx> using the public key B<pkey>
-and against the B<siglen> bytes at B<sigbuf>.
-
-EVP_VerifyInit() initializes verification context B<ctx> to use the default
-implementation of digest B<type>.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-EVP_VerifyInit_ex() and EVP_VerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for
-failure.
-
-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)>.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The B<EVP> interface to digital signatures should almost always be used in
-preference to the low level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes
-transparent to the algorithm used and much more flexible.
-
-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)>.
-
-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
-later to digest and verify additional data.
-
-Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
-be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() or a memory leak
-will occur.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-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
-relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest
-combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of
-data have been passed through EVP_SignUpdate().
-
-It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
-
-The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_VerifyDigest*() function.
