=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<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 B<EVP_MD> structure.

EVP_MD_meth_dup() creates a copy of B<md>.

EVP_MD_meth_free() destroys a B<EVP_MD> structure.

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

EVP_MD_meth_set_result_size() sets the size of the result that the
digest method in B<md> is expected to produce to B<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 B<datasize>.

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

=over 4

=item EVP_MD_FLAG_ONESHOT

This digest method can only handles one block of input.

=item 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.  I<Note: if
combined with EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT, the latter will override.>

=item EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT

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

=item EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_CUSTOM

Custom DigestAlgorithmIdentifier handling via ctrl, with
B<EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_ABSENT> as default.  I<Note: if combined with
EVP_MD_FLAG_DIGALGID_NULL, the latter will be overriden.>
Currently unused.

=back

EVP_MD_meth_set_init() sets the digest init function for B<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 B<md>.
The digest update function is called by EVP_DigestUpdate(),
EVP_SignUpdate().

EVP_MD_meth_set_final() sets the digest final function for B<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 B<md> to do extra
computations after the method's private data structure has been copied
from one B<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 B<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 B<md> to do extra
cleanup before the method's privata data structure is cleaned out and
freed.
Note that the cleanup function is passed a B<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 B<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.

=head1 HISTORY

The B<EVP_MD> structure was openly available in OpenSSL before version
1.1.  The functions described here were added in OpenSSL version 1.1.
