See \fBprovider\fR\|(7) for further information. .PP The DIGEST operation enables providers to implement digest algorithms and make them available to applications via the API functions \fBEVP_DigestInit_ex\fR\|(3), \&\fBEVP_DigestUpdate\fR\|(3) and \fBEVP_DigestFinal\fR\|(3) (and other related functions). .PP All "functions" mentioned here are passed as function pointers between \&\fIlibcrypto\fR and the provider in \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays via \&\fBOSSL_ALGORITHM\fR\|(3) arrays that are returned by the provider's \&\fBprovider_query_operation()\fR function (see "Provider Functions" in \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7)). .PP All these "functions" have a corresponding function type definition named \fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}_fn\fR, and a helper function to retrieve the function pointer from an \fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) element named \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_{name}\fR. For example, the "function" \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx()\fR has these: .PP .Vb 3 \& typedef void *(OSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx_fn)(void *provctx); \& static ossl_inline OSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx_fn \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx(const OSSL_DISPATCH *opf); .Ve .PP \&\fBOSSL_DISPATCH\fR\|(3) arrays are indexed by numbers that are provided as macros in \fBopenssl\-core_dispatch.h\fR\|(7), as follows: .PP .Vb 3 \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_NEWCTX \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_freectx OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_FREECTX \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_dupctx OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_DUPCTX \& \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_init OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_INIT \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_update OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_UPDATE \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_final OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_FINAL \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_digest OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_DIGEST \& \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_get_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_GET_PARAMS \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_get_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_GET_CTX_PARAMS \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_set_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_SET_CTX_PARAMS \& \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_gettable_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_GETTABLE_PARAMS \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_gettable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_GETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS \& OSSL_FUNC_digest_settable_ctx_params OSSL_FUNC_DIGEST_SETTABLE_CTX_PARAMS .Ve .PP A digest algorithm implementation may not implement all of these functions. In order to be usable all or none of OSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx, OSSL_FUNC_digest_freectx, OSSL_FUNC_digest_init, OSSL_FUNC_digest_update and OSSL_FUNC_digest_final should be implemented. All other functions are optional. .SS "Context Management Functions" .IX Subsection "Context Management Functions" \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx()\fR should create and return a pointer to a provider side structure for holding context information during a digest operation. A pointer to this context will be passed back in a number of the other digest operation function calls. The parameter \fIprovctx\fR is the provider context generated during provider initialisation (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7)). .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_freectx()\fR is passed a pointer to the provider side digest context in the \fIdctx\fR parameter. This function should free any resources associated with that context. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_dupctx()\fR should duplicate the provider side digest context in the \&\fIdctx\fR parameter and return the duplicate copy. .SS "Digest Generation Functions" .IX Subsection "Digest Generation Functions" \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_init()\fR initialises a digest operation given a newly created provider side digest context in the \fIdctx\fR parameter. The \fIparams\fR, if not NULL, should be set on the context in a manner similar to using \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_set_ctx_params()\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_update()\fR is called to supply data to be digested as part of a previously initialised digest operation. The \fIdctx\fR parameter contains a pointer to a previously initialised provider side context. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_update()\fR should digest \fIinl\fR bytes of data at the location pointed to by \fIin\fR. \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_update()\fR may be called multiple times for a single digest operation. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_final()\fR generates a digest started through previous \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_init()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_update()\fR calls. The \fIdctx\fR parameter contains a pointer to the provider side context. The digest should be written to \fI*out\fR and the length of the digest to \&\fI*outl\fR. The digest should not exceed \fIoutsz\fR bytes. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_digest()\fR is a "oneshot" digest function. No provider side digest context is used. Instead the provider context that was created during provider initialisation is passed in the \fIprovctx\fR parameter (see \fBprovider\fR\|(7)). \&\fIinl\fR bytes at \fIin\fR should be digested and the result should be stored at \&\fIout\fR. The length of the digest should be stored in \fI*outl\fR which should not exceed \fIoutsz\fR bytes. .SS "Digest Parameters" .IX Subsection "Digest Parameters" See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure used by these functions. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_params()\fR gets details of the algorithm implementation and stores them in \fIparams\fR. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_set_ctx_params()\fR sets digest operation parameters for the provider side digest context \fIdctx\fR to \fIparams\fR. Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_ctx_params()\fR gets digest operation details details from the given provider side digest context \fIdctx\fR and stores them in \fIparams\fR. Passing NULL for \fIparams\fR should return true. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_gettable_params()\fR returns a constant \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) array containing descriptors of the parameters that \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_params()\fR can handle. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_gettable_ctx_params()\fR and \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_settable_ctx_params()\fR both return constant \&\fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) arrays as descriptors of the parameters that \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_ctx_params()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_set_ctx_params()\fR can handle, respectively. The array is based on the current state of the provider side context if \fIdctx\fR is not NULL and on the provider side algorithm \fIprovctx\fR otherwise. .PP Parameters currently recognised by built-in digests with this function are as follows. Not all parameters are relevant to, or are understood by all digests: .IP """blocksize"" (\fBOSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE\fR) " 4 .IX Item """blocksize"" (OSSL_DIGEST_PARAM_BLOCK_SIZE) " The digest block size.

Any parameter settings are additional to any that were previously set. See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_ctx_params()\fR gets details of currently set parameters values associated with the give provider side digest context \fIdctx\fR and stores them in \fIparams\fR. See \fBOSSL_PARAM\fR\|(3) for further details on the parameters structure. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_newctx()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_dupctx()\fR should return the newly created provider side digest context, or NULL on failure. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_init()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_update()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_final()\fR, \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_digest()\fR, \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_set_params()\fR and \fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_get_params()\fR should return 1 for success or 0 on error. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_size()\fR should return the digest size. .PP \&\fBOSSL_FUNC_digest_block_size()\fR should return the block size of the underlying digest algorithm. .SH BUGS .IX Header "BUGS" The \fBEVP_Q_digest()\fR, \fBEVP_Digest()\fR and \fBEVP_DigestFinal_ex()\fR API calls do not expect the digest size to be larger than EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE. Any algorithm which produces larger digests is unusable with those API calls. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBprovider\fR\|(7), \fBOSSL_PROVIDER\-FIPS\fR\|(7), \fBOSSL_PROVIDER\-default\fR\|(7), \&\fBOSSL_PROVIDER\-legacy\fR\|(7), \&\fBEVP_MD\-common\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-BLAKE2\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-MD2\fR\|(7), \&\fBEVP_MD\-MD4\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-MD5\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-MD5\-SHA1\fR\|(7), \&\fBEVP_MD\-MDC2\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-RIPEMD160\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-SHA1\fR\|(7), \&\fBEVP_MD\-SHA2\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-SHA3\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-KECCAK\fR\|(7) \&\fBEVP_MD\-SHAKE\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-SM3\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_MD\-WHIRLPOOL\fR\|(7), \&\fBEVP_MD\-NULL\fR\|(7), \&\fBlife_cycle\-digest\fR\|(7), \fBEVP_DigestInit\fR\|(3) .SH HISTORY .IX Header "HISTORY" The provider DIGEST interface was introduced in OpenSSL 3.0. .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2019\-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
