<dd>

will be the same <strong>EVP_MD</strong> object originally passed to <a href="#evp_digestinit_ex"><code>EVP_DigestInit_ex()</code></a> (or
other similar function) when the EVP_MD_CTX was first initialised. Note that
where explicit fetch is in use (see <a href="#evp_md_fetch">EVP_MD_fetch(3)</a>) 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.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_ctx_set_update_fn" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_set_update_fn()</code></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Sets the update function for <strong>ctx</strong> to <strong>update</strong>.
This is the function that is called by EVP_DigestUpdate. If not set, the
update function from the <strong>EVP_MD</strong> type specified at initialization is used.</p>

</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_flags" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_flags()</code></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Returns the <strong>md</strong> flags. Note that these are different from the <strong>EVP_MD_CTX</strong>
ones. See <em>EVP_MD_meth_set_flags(3)</em> for more information.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_pkey_type" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_pkey_type()</code></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>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
<strong>NID_sha1WithRSAEncryption</strong>. Since digests and signature algorithms are no
longer linked this function is only retained for compatibility reasons.</p>

</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_ctx_pkey_ctx" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_pkey_ctx()</code></a></strong></dt>

be freed by the caller.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_ctx_set_pkey_ctx" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx()</code></a></strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Assigns an <strong>EVP_PKEY_CTX</strong> to <strong>EVP_MD_CTX</strong>. This is usually used to provide
a customized <strong>EVP_PKEY_CTX</strong> to <em>EVP_DigestSignInit(3)</em> or
<em>EVP_DigestVerifyInit(3)</em>. The <strong>pctx</strong> passed to this function should be freed
by the caller. A NULL <strong>pctx</strong> pointer is also allowed to clear the <strong>EVP_PKEY_CTX</strong>
assigned to <strong>ctx</strong>. In such case, freeing the cleared <strong>EVP_PKEY_CTX</strong> or not
depends on how the <strong>EVP_PKEY_CTX</strong> is created.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><a name="evp_md_do_all_provided" class="item"><code>EVP_MD_do_all_provided()</code></a></strong></dt>
<dd>

<h1><a name="notes">NOTES</a></h1>
<p>The <strong>EVP</strong> 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.</p>
<p>New applications should use the SHA-2 (such as <em>EVP_sha256(3)</em>) or the SHA-3
digest algorithms (such as <em>EVP_sha3_512(3)</em>). The other digest algorithms
are still in common use.</p>
<p>For most applications the <strong>impl</strong> parameter to <a href="#evp_digestinit_ex"><code>EVP_DigestInit_ex()</code></a> will be
set to NULL to use the default digest implementation.</p>
<p>The functions <a href="#evp_digestinit"><code>EVP_DigestInit()</code></a>, <a href="#evp_digestfinal"><code>EVP_DigestFinal()</code></a> and <a href="#evp_md_ctx_copy"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_copy()</code></a> are
obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing code. New
applications should use <a href="#evp_digestinit_ex"><code>EVP_DigestInit_ex()</code></a>, <a href="#evp_digestfinal_ex"><code>EVP_DigestFinal_ex()</code></a> and
<a href="#evp_md_ctx_copy_ex"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex()</code></a> 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.</p>
<p>If digest contexts are not cleaned up after use,
memory leaks will occur.</p>
<p><code>EVP_MD_CTX_name()</code>, <code>EVP_MD_CTX_size()</code>, <code>EVP_MD_CTX_block_size()</code>,
<code>EVP_MD_CTX_type()</code>, <code>EVP_get_digestbynid()</code> and <code>EVP_get_digestbyobj()</code> are defined
as macros.</p>
<p><a href="#evp_md_ctx_ctrl"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_ctrl()</code></a> sends commands to message digests for additional configuration
or control.</p>

<h1><a name="history">HISTORY</a></h1>
<p>The <code>EVP_MD_CTX_create()</code> and <code>EVP_MD_CTX_destroy()</code> functions were renamed to
<a href="#evp_md_ctx_new"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_new()</code></a> and <a href="#evp_md_ctx_free"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_free()</code></a> in OpenSSL 1.1.0, respectively.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The EVP_dss1() function was removed in OpenSSL 1.1.0.</p>
<p>The <a href="#evp_md_ctx_set_pkey_ctx"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_set_pkey_ctx()</code></a> function was added in 1.1.1.</p>
<p>The <a href="#evp_md_fetch"><code>EVP_MD_fetch()</code></a>, <a href="#evp_md_free"><code>EVP_MD_free()</code></a>, <a href="#evp_md_up_ref"><code>EVP_MD_up_ref()</code></a>, <a href="#evp_md_ctx_set_params"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_set_params()</code></a>
and <a href="#evp_md_ctx_get_params"><code>EVP_MD_CTX_get_params()</code></a> functions were added in 3.0.</p>
