.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "EVP_PKEY_VERIFY_RECOVER 3" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init, EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex, EVP_PKEY_verify_recover \- recover signature using a public key algorithm Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/evp.h> \& int EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx); int EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, const OSSL_PARAM params[]); int EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *rout, size_t *routlen, const unsigned char *sig, size_t siglen); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init() initializes a public key algorithm context \fIctx for signing using the algorithm given when the context was created using EVP_PKEY_CTX_new\|(3) or variants thereof. The algorithm is used to fetch a \s-1EVP_SIGNATURE\s0 method implicitly, see \*(L"Implicit fetch\*(R" in provider\|(7) for more information about implicit fetches.

\fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex() is the same as \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init() but additionally sets the passed parameters \fIparams on the context before returning.

The EVP_PKEY_verify_recover() function recovers signed data using ctx. The signature is specified using the sig and \fIsiglen parameters. If rout is \s-1NULL\s0 then the maximum size of the output buffer is written to the routlen parameter. If rout is not \s-1NULL\s0 then before the call the routlen parameter should contain the length of the \fIrout buffer, if the call is successful recovered data is written to \fIrout and the amount of data written to routlen.

Header "NOTES" Normally an application is only interested in whether a signature verification operation is successful in those cases the EVP_verify() function should be used.

Sometimes however it is useful to obtain the data originally signed using a signing operation. Only certain public key algorithms can recover a signature in this way (for example \s-1RSA\s0 in \s-1PKCS\s0 padding mode).

After the call to EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init() algorithm specific control operations can be performed to set any appropriate parameters for the operation.

The function EVP_PKEY_verify_recover() can be called more than once on the same context if several operations are performed using the same parameters.

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBEVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init() and EVP_PKEY_verify_recover() return 1 for success and 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm. Header "EXAMPLES" Recover digest originally signed using PKCS#1 and \s-1SHA256\s0 digest:

.Vb 2 #include <openssl/evp.h> #include <openssl/rsa.h> \& EVP_PKEY_CTX *ctx; unsigned char *rout, *sig; size_t routlen, siglen; EVP_PKEY *verify_key; \& /* * NB: assumes verify_key, sig and siglen are already set up * and that verify_key is an RSA public key */ ctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new(verify_key, NULL /* no engine */); if (!ctx) /* Error occurred */ if (EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_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 */ \& /* Determine buffer length */ if (EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(ctx, NULL, &routlen, sig, siglen) <= 0) /* Error */ \& rout = OPENSSL_malloc(routlen); \& if (!rout) /* malloc failure */ \& if (EVP_PKEY_verify_recover(ctx, rout, &routlen, sig, siglen) <= 0) /* Error */ \& /* Recovered data is routlen bytes written to buffer rout */ .Ve

The EVP_PKEY_verify_recover_init_ex() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
