NAME
X509_digest, X509_digest_sig, X509_CRL_digest, X509_pubkey_digest,
X509_NAME_digest, X509_REQ_digest, PKCS7_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL_digest - get
digest of various objects
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
int X509_digest(const X509 *data, const EVP_MD *type, unsigned char *md,
unsigned int *len);
ASN1_OCTET_STRING *X509_digest_sig(const X509 *cert,
EVP_MD **md_used, int *md_is_fallback);
int X509_CRL_digest(const X509_CRL *data, const EVP_MD *type, unsigned char *md,
unsigned int *len);
int X509_pubkey_digest(const X509 *data, const EVP_MD *type,
unsigned char *md, unsigned int *len);
int X509_REQ_digest(const X509_REQ *data, const EVP_MD *type,
unsigned char *md, unsigned int *len);
int X509_NAME_digest(const X509_NAME *data, const EVP_MD *type,
unsigned char *md, unsigned int *len);
#include <openssl/pkcs7.h>
int PKCS7_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL_digest(PKCS7_ISSUER_AND_SERIAL *data,
const EVP_MD *type, unsigned char *md,
unsigned int *len);
DESCRIPTION
X509_digest_sig() calculates a digest of the given certificate cert
using the same hash algorithm as in its signature, if the digest is an
integral part of the certificate signature algorithm identifier.
Otherwise, a fallback hash algorithm is determined as follows: SHA512
if the signature algorithm is ED25519, SHAKE256 if it is ED448,
otherwise SHA256. The output parameters are assigned as follows.
Unless md_used is NULL, the hash algorithm used is provided in *md_used
and must be freed by the caller (if it is not NULL). Unless
md_is_fallback is NULL, the *md_is_fallback is set to 1 if the hash
algorithm used is a fallback, otherwise to 0.
X509_pubkey_digest() returns a digest of the DER representation of the
public key in the specified X509 data object.
All other functions described here return a digest of the DER
representation of their entire data objects.
The type parameter specifies the digest to be used, such as EVP_sha1().
The md is a pointer to the buffer where the digest will be copied and
is assumed to be large enough; the constant EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE is
suggested. The len parameter, if not NULL, points to a place where the
digest size will be stored.
RETURN VALUES
EVP_sha1(3)
HISTORY
The X509_digest_sig() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
