NAME¶

EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid - indicate support for signature digest

SYNOPSIS¶

 #include <openssl/evp.h>
 int EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int nid);

DESCRIPTION¶

The EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid() function queries whether the message digest NID nid is supported for public key signature operations associated with key pkey.

NOTES¶

If the EVP_PKEY implementation does not explicitly support this method, but EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(3) returns a mandatory digest result, then only that mandatory digest will be supported.

RETURN VALUES¶

The EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest algorithm identified by nid can be used for public key signature operations associated with key pkey and 0 if it cannot be used. It returns a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the query operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.

HISTORY¶

The EVP_PKEY_supports_digest_nid() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
