# DESCRIPTION

The EVP_MD type is a structure for digest method implementation. It can also have associated public/private key signing and verifying routines.

EVP_MD_meth_new() creates a new EVP_MD structure.

EVP_MD_meth_dup() creates a copy of md.

EVP_MD_meth_free() destroys a EVP_MD structure.

EVP_MD_meth_set_input_blocksize() sets the internal input block size for the method md to blocksize bytes.

EVP_MD_meth_set_result_size() sets the size of the result that the digest method in md is expected to produce to resultsize bytes.

The digest method may have its own private data, which OpenSSL will allocate for it. EVP_MD_meth_set_app_datasize() should be used to set the size for it to datasize.

EVP_MD_meth_set_flags() sets the flags to describe optional behaviours in the particular md. Several flags can be or'd together. The available flags are:

EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT

  This digest method can only handles one block of input.

EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL

  When setting up a DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, this flag will have the parameter set to NULL by default. Use this for PKCS#1. Note: if combined with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT, the latter will override.

EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT

  When setting up a DigestAlgorithmIdentifier, this flag will have the parameter be left absent by default. Note: if combined with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL, the latter will be overridden.

EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_CUSTOM

  Custom DigestAlgorithmIdentifier handling via ctrl, with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT as default. Note: if combined with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL, the latter will be overridden. Currently unused.

EVP_MD_meth_set_init() sets the digest init function for md. The digest init function is called by EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_SignInit, EVP_SignInit_ex(), EVP_VerifyInit() and EVP_VerifyInit_ex().

EVP_MD_meth_set_update() sets the digest update function for md. The digest update function is called by EVP_DigestUpdate(), EVP_SignUpdate().

EVP_MD_meth_set_final() sets the digest final function for md. The digest final function is called by EVP_DigestFinal(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex(), EVP_SignFinal() and EVP_VerifyFinal().

EVP_MD_meth_set_copy() sets the function for md to do extra computations after the method's private data structure has been copied from one EVP_MD_CTX to another. If all that's needed is to copy the data, there is no need for this copy function. Note that the copy function is passed two EVP_MD_CTX *, the private data structure is then available with EVP_MD_CTX_md_data(). This copy function is called by EVP_MD_CTX_copy() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex().

EVP_MD_meth_set_cleanup() sets the function for md to do extra cleanup before the method's private data structure is cleaned out and freed. Note that the cleanup function is passed a EVP_MD_CTX *, the private data structure is then available with EVP_MD_CTX_md_data(). This cleanup function is called by EVP_MD_CTX_reset() and EVP_MD_CTX_free().

EVP_MD_meth_set_ctrl() sets the control function for md.

EVP_MD_meth_get_input_blocksize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_result_size(), EVP_MD_meth_get_app_datasize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_flags(), EVP_MD_meth_get_init(), EVP_MD_meth_get_update(), EVP_MD_meth_get_final(), EVP_MD_meth_get_copy(), EVP_MD_meth_get_cleanup() and EVP_MD_meth_get_ctrl() are all used to retrieve the method data given with the EVP_MD_meth_set_*() functions above.

# RETURN VALUES

EVP_MD_meth_new() and EVP_MD_meth_dup() return a pointer to a newly created EVP_MD, or NULL on failure. All EVP_MD_meth_set_*() functions return 1. EVP_MD_get_input_blocksize(), EVP_MD_meth_get_result_size(), EVP_MD_meth_get_app_datasize() and EVP_MD_meth_get_flags() return the indicated sizes or flags. All other EVP_CIPHER_meth_get_*() functions return pointers to their respective md function.
