| +=head1 NAME
|
| +
|
| +EVP_PKEY_verify_init, EVP_PKEY_verify - signature verification using a public key algorithm
|
| +
|
| +=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
| +
|
| + #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);
|
| +
|
| +=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
| +
|
| +The EVP_PKEY_verify_init() function initializes a public key algorithm
|
| +context using key B<pkey> for a signature verification operation.
|
| +
|
| +The EVP_PKEY_verify() function performs a public key verification operation
|
| +using B<ctx>. The signature is specified using the B<sig> and
|
| +B<siglen> parameters. The verified data (i.e. the data believed originally
|
| +signed) is specified using the B<tbs> and B<tbslen> parameters.
|
| +
|
| +=head1 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.
|
| +
|
| +=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
| +
|
| +EVP_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
|
| +EVP_PKEY_verify() only indicates that the signature did not 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.
|
| +
|
| +=head1 EXAMPLE
|
| +
|
| +Verify signature using PKCS#1 and SHA256 digest:
|
| +
|
| + #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);
|
| + 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.
|
| + */
