The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining OPENSSL_API_COMPAT with a suitable version value, see openssl_user_macros(7):

 const EVP_MD *EVP_MD_CTX_md(const EVP_MD_CTX *ctx);
 int (*EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx))(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx,
                                              const void *data, size_t count);

DESCRIPTION

The EVP digest routines are a high-level interface to message digests, and should be used instead of the digest-specific functions.

The EVP_MD type is a structure for digest method implementation.

Fetches the digest implementation for the given algorithm from any provider offering it, within the criteria given by the properties. See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for further information.

The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_MD_free().

Fetched EVP_MD structures are reference counted.

Increments the reference count for an EVP_MD structure.
Decrements the reference count for the fetched EVP_MD structure. If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed.
Allocates and returns a digest context.
Resets the digest context ctx. This can be used to reuse an already existing context.
Cleans up digest context ctx and frees up the space allocated to it.
This is a legacy method. EVP_MD_CTX_set_params() and EVP_MD_CTX_get_params() is the mechanism that should be used to set and get parameters that are used by providers.

Performs digest-specific control actions on context ctx. The control command is indicated in cmd and any additional arguments in p1 and p2. EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() must be called after EVP_DigestInit_ex2(). Other restrictions may apply depending on the control type and digest implementation.

If this function happens to be used with a fetched EVP_MD, it will translate the controls that are known to OpenSSL into OSSL_PARAM(3) parameters with keys defined by OpenSSL and call EVP_MD_CTX_get_params() or EVP_MD_CTX_set_params() as is appropriate for each control command.

See "CONTROLS" below for more information, including what translations are being done.

Retrieves the requested list of params from a MD md. See "PARAMETERS" below for more information.
Retrieves the requested list of params from a MD context ctx. See "PARAMETERS" below for more information.
Sets the list of params into a MD context ctx. See "PARAMETERS" below for more information.
Get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the retrievable parameters that can be used with EVP_MD_get_params().
Get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the retrievable parameters that can be used with EVP_MD_CTX_get_params(). EVP_MD_gettable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can be retrieved from the algorithm, whereas EVP_MD_CTX_gettable_params() returns the parameters that can be retrieved in the context's current state.
Get a constant OSSL_PARAM(3) array that describes the settable parameters that can be used with EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(). EVP_MD_settable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can be set from the algorithm, whereas EVP_MD_CTX_settable_params() returns the parameters that can be set in the context's current state.
Sets, clears and tests ctx flags. See "FLAGS" below for more information.
It hashes datalen bytes of data at data using the digest algorithm name, which is fetched using the optional libctx and propq parameters. The digest value is placed in md and its length is written at mdlen if the pointer is not NULL. At most EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes will be written.
A wrapper around the Digest Init_ex, Update and Final_ex functions. Hashes count bytes of data at data using a digest type from ENGINE impl. The digest value is placed in md and its length is written at size if the pointer is not NULL. At most EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes will be written. If impl is NULL the default implementation of digest type is used.
Sets up digest context ctx to use a digest type. type is typically supplied by a function such as EVP_sha1(), or a value explicitly fetched with EVP_MD_fetch().

The parameters params are set on the context after initialisation.

The type parameter can be NULL if ctx has been already initialized with another EVP_DigestInit_ex() call and has not been reset with EVP_MD_CTX_reset().

Sets up digest context ctx to use a digest type. type is typically supplied by a function such as EVP_sha1(), or a value explicitly fetched with EVP_MD_fetch().

If impl is non-NULL, its implementation of the digest type is used if there is one, and if not, the default implementation is used.

The type parameter can be NULL if ctx has been already initialized with another EVP_DigestInit_ex() call and has not been reset with EVP_MD_CTX_reset().

Hashes cnt bytes of data at d into the digest context ctx. This function can be called several times on the same ctx to hash additional data.
Retrieves the digest value from ctx and places it in md. If the s parameter is not NULL then the number of bytes of data written (i.e. the length of the digest) will be written to the integer at s, at most EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE bytes will be written. After calling EVP_DigestFinal_ex() no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() can be made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex2() can be called to initialize a new digest operation.
Interfaces to extendable-output functions, XOFs, such as SHAKE128 and SHAKE256. It retrieves the digest value from ctx and places it in len-sized md. After calling this function no additional calls to EVP_DigestUpdate() can be made, but EVP_DigestInit_ex2() can be called to initialize a new operation.
Can be used to copy the message digest state from in to out. This is useful if large amounts of data are to be hashed which only differ in the last few bytes.
Behaves in the same way as EVP_DigestInit_ex2() except it doesn't set any parameters and calls EVP_MD_CTX_reset() so it cannot be used with an type of NULL.
Similar to EVP_DigestFinal_ex() except after computing the digest the digest context ctx is automatically cleaned up with EVP_MD_CTX_reset().
Similar to EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() except the destination out does not have to be initialized.
Returns 1 if md is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable with name, otherwise 0.

If md is a legacy digest (it's the return value from the likes of EVP_sha256() rather than the result of an EVP_MD_fetch()), only cipher names registered with the default library context (see OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)) will be considered.

Return the name of the given message digest. For fetched message digests with multiple names, only one of them is returned; it's recommended to use EVP_MD_names_do_all() instead.
Traverses all names for the md, and calls fn with each name and data. This is only useful with fetched EVP_MDs.
Returns a description of the digest, meant for display and human consumption. The description is at the discretion of the digest implementation.
Returns an OSSL_PROVIDER pointer to the provider that implements the given EVP_MD.
Return the size of the message digest when passed an EVP_MD or an EVP_MD_CTX structure, i.e. the size of the hash.
Return the block size of the message digest when passed an EVP_MD or an EVP_MD_CTX structure.
Return the NID of the OBJECT IDENTIFIER representing the given message digest when passed an EVP_MD structure. For example, "EVP_MD_get_type(EVP_sha1())" returns NID_sha1. This function is normally used when setting ASN1 OIDs.
Return the digest method private data for the passed EVP_MD_CTX. The space is allocated by OpenSSL and has the size originally set with EVP_MD_meth_set_app_datasize().
EVP_MD_CTX_get0_md() returns the EVP_MD structure corresponding to the passed EVP_MD_CTX. This will be the same EVP_MD object originally passed to EVP_DigestInit_ex2() (or other similar function) when the EVP_MD_CTX was first initialised. Note that where explicit fetch is in use (see EVP_MD_fetch(3)) the value returned from this function will not have its reference count incremented and therefore it should not be used after the EVP_MD_CTX is freed. EVP_MD_CTX_get1_md() is the same except the ownership is passed to the caller and is from the passed EVP_MD_CTX.
Sets the update function for ctx to update. This is the function that is called by EVP_DigestUpdate(). If not set, the update function from the EVP_MD type specified at initialization is used.
Returns the update function for ctx.
Returns the md flags. Note that these are different from the EVP_MD_CTX ones. See EVP_MD_meth_set_flags(3) for more information.
Returns the NID of the public key signing algorithm associated with this digest. For example EVP_sha1() is associated with RSA so this will return NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption. Since digests and signature algorithms are no longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility reasons.
A "null" message digest that does nothing: i.e. the hash it returns is of zero length.
Returns an EVP_MD structure when passed a digest name, a digest NID or an ASN1_OBJECT structure respectively.

The EVP_get_digestbyname() function is present for backwards compatibility with OpenSSL prior to version 3 and is different to the EVP_MD_fetch() function since it does not attempt to "fetch" an implementation of the cipher. Additionally, it only knows about digests that are built-in to OpenSSL and have an associated NID. Similarly EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() also return objects without an associated implementation.

When the digest objects returned by these functions are used (such as in a call to EVP_DigestInit_ex()) an implementation of the digest will be implicitly fetched from the loaded providers. This fetch could fail if no suitable implementation is available. Use EVP_MD_fetch() instead to explicitly fetch the algorithm and an associated implementation from a provider.

See "ALGORITHM FETCHING" in crypto(7) for more information about fetching.

The digest objects returned from these functions do not need to be freed with EVP_MD_free().

Returns the EVP_PKEY_CTX assigned to ctx. The returned pointer should not be freed by the caller.
Assigns an EVP_PKEY_CTX to EVP_MD_CTX. This is usually used to provide a customized EVP_PKEY_CTX to EVP_DigestSignInit(3) or EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3). The pctx passed to this function should be freed by the caller. A NULL pctx pointer is also allowed to clear the EVP_PKEY_CTX assigned to ctx. In such case, freeing the cleared EVP_PKEY_CTX or not depends on how the EVP_PKEY_CTX is created.
Traverses all messages digests implemented by all activated providers in the given library context libctx, and for each of the implementations, calls the given function fn with the implementation method and the given arg as argument.

PARAMETERS

See OSSL_PARAM(3) for information about passing parameters.

EVP_MD_CTX_set_params() can be used with the following OSSL_PARAM keys:

"xoflen" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_XOFLEN) <unsigned integer>
Sets the digest length for extendable output functions. It is used by the SHAKE algorithm and should not exceed what can be given using a size_t.
"pad-type" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_PAD_TYPE) <unsigned integer>
Sets the padding type. It is used by the MDC2 algorithm.

EVP_MD_CTX_get_params() can be used with the following OSSL_PARAM keys:

"micalg" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_MICALG) <UTF8 string>.
Gets the digest Message Integrity Check algorithm string. This is used when creating S/MIME multipart/signed messages, as specified in RFC 3851. It may be used by external engines or providers.

CONTROLS

EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() can be used to send the following standard controls:

Gets the digest Message Integrity Check algorithm string. This is used when creating S/MIME multipart/signed messages, as specified in RFC 3851. The string value is written to p2.

When used with a fetched EVP_MD, EVP_MD_CTX_get_params() gets called with an OSSL_PARAM(3) item with the key "micalg" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_MICALG).

This control sets the digest length for extendable output functions to p1. Sending this control directly should not be necessary, the use of EVP_DigestFinalXOF() is preferred. Currently used by SHAKE.

When used with a fetched EVP_MD, EVP_MD_CTX_get_params() gets called with an OSSL_PARAM(3) item with the key "xoflen" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_XOFLEN).

FLAGS

EVP_MD_CTX_set_flags(), EVP_MD_CTX_clear_flags() and EVP_MD_CTX_test_flags() can be used the manipulate and test these EVP_MD_CTX flags:

This flag instructs the digest to optimize for one update only, if possible.
This flag instructs EVP_DigestInit() and similar not to initialise the implementation specific data.
Some functions such as EVP_DigestSign only finalise copies of internal contexts so additional data can be included after the finalisation call. This is inefficient if this functionality is not required, and can be disabled with this flag.

RETURN VALUES

Returns a pointer to a EVP_MD for success or NULL for failure.
Returns 1 for success or 0 for failure.
return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
Returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
Returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
Return an array of constant OSSL_PARAM(3)s, or NULL if there is none to get.
Returns 1 if successful or 0 for failure.
Returns the NID of the corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER or NID_undef if none exists.
Returns the digest or block size in bytes or -1 for failure.
Returns a pointer to the EVP_MD structure of the "null" message digest.
Returns either an EVP_MD structure or NULL if an error occurs.
This function has no return value.
Returns 1 if the callback was called for all names. A return value of 0 means that the callback was not called for any names.

NOTES

The EVP interface to message digests should almost always be used in preference to the low-level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes transparent to the digest used and much more flexible.

New applications should use the SHA-2 (such as EVP_sha256(3)) or the SHA-3 digest algorithms (such as EVP_sha3_512(3)). The other digest algorithms are still in common use.

For most applications the impl parameter to EVP_DigestInit_ex() will be set to NULL to use the default digest implementation.

Ignoring failure returns of EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestInit_ex2(), or EVP_DigestInit() can lead to undefined behavior on subsequent calls updating or finalizing the EVP_MD_CTX such as the EVP_DigestUpdate() or EVP_DigestFinal() functions. The only valid calls on the EVP_MD_CTX when initialization fails are calls that attempt another initialization of the context or release the context.

The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy() are obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(), EVP_DigestFinal_ex() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex() because they can efficiently reuse a digest context instead of initializing and cleaning it up on each call and allow non default implementations of digests to be specified.

If digest contexts are not cleaned up after use, memory leaks will occur.

EVP_MD_CTX_get0_name(), EVP_MD_CTX_get_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_get_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_get_type(), EVP_get_digestbynid() and EVP_get_digestbyobj() are defined as macros.

EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl() sends commands to message digests for additional configuration or control.

EXAMPLES

This example digests the data "Test Message\n" and "Hello World\n", using the digest name passed on the command line.

         EVP_MD_CTX_free(mdctx);
         exit(1);
     }

     printf("\n");
     exit(0);
 }

HISTORY

The EVP_MD_CTX_create() and EVP_MD_CTX_destroy() functions were renamed to EVP_MD_CTX_new() and EVP_MD_CTX_free() in OpenSSL 1.1.0, respectively.

The link between digests and signing algorithms was fixed in OpenSSL 1.0 and later, so now EVP_sha1() can be used with RSA and DSA.

The EVP_dss1() function was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.

The EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.

The EVP_Q_digest(), EVP_DigestInit_ex2(), EVP_MD_fetch(), EVP_MD_free(), EVP_MD_up_ref(), EVP_MD_get_params(), EVP_MD_CTX_set_params(), EVP_MD_CTX_get_params(), EVP_MD_gettable_params(), EVP_MD_gettable_ctx_params(), EVP_MD_settable_ctx_params(), EVP_MD_CTX_settable_params() and EVP_MD_CTX_gettable_params() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.

The EVP_MD_type(), EVP_MD_nid(), EVP_MD_name(), EVP_MD_pkey_type(), EVP_MD_size(), EVP_MD_block_size(), EVP_MD_flags(), EVP_MD_CTX_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_block_size(), EVP_MD_CTX_type(), and EVP_MD_CTX_md_data() functions were renamed to include "get" or "get0" in their names in OpenSSL 3.0, respectively. The old names are kept as non-deprecated alias macros.

The EVP_MD_CTX_md() function was deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0; use EVP_MD_CTX_get0_md() instead. EVP_MD_CTX_update_fn() and EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn() were deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.
