|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify_init
|
|
function initializes a public key algorithm context using key
|
|
.Fa ctx->pkey
|
|
for a signature verification operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify
|
|
function performs a public key verification operation using
|
|
.Fa ctx .
|
|
The signature is specified using the
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa siglen
|
|
parameters.
|
|
The verified data (i.e. the data believed originally signed) is
|
|
specified using the
|
|
.Fa tbs
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa tbslen
|
|
parameters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the call to
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify_init ,
|
|
algorithm specific control operations can be performed to set any
|
|
appropriate parameters for the operation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify
|
|
can be called more than once on the same context if several operations
|
|
are performed using the same parameters.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify_init
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify
|
|
return 1 if the verification was successful and 0 if it failed.
|
|
Unlike other functions the return value 0 from
|
|
.Fn EVP_PKEY_verify
|
|
only indicates that the signature did not verify successfully.
|
|
That is,
|
|
.Fa tbs
|
|
did not match the original data or the signature was of invalid form.
|
|
It is not an indication of a more serious error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Verify signature using PKCS#1 and SHA256 digest:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset 3n
|
|
#include <openssl/evp.h>
|
|
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
|
|
|
|
EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx;
|
|
unsigned char *md, *sig;
|
|
size_t mdlen, siglen;
|
|
EVP_PKEY *verify_key;
|
|
|
|
/*
|
|
* Assumes that 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);
|
|
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 some other error.
|
|
*/
