+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The EVP signature routines are a high-level interface to digital
+signatures.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyInit
+sets up the verification context
+.Fa ctx
+to use the digest
+.Fa type
+and the public key
+.Fa pkey .
+Before calling this function, obtain
+.Fa ctx
+from
+.Xr EVP_MD_CTX_new 3
+or call
+.Xr EVP_MD_CTX_reset 3
+on it.
+The
+.Fa engine
+argument is always ignored and passing
+.Dv NULL
+is recommended.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa pctx
+is not
+.Dv NULL ,
+any pointer passed in as
+.Pf * Fa pctx
+is ignored and overwritten by an internal pointer to the
+.Vt EVP_PKEY_CTX
+used by the verification operation:
+this can be used to set alternative signing options.
+The returned
+.Vt EVP_PKEY_CTX
+must not be freed by the application.
+It is freed automatically when the
+.Vt EVP_MD_CTX
+is freed.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate
+hashes
+.Fa cnt
+bytes of data at
+.Fa d
+into the verification context
+.Fa ctx .
+This function can be called several times on the same
+.Fa ctx
+to include additional data.
+This function is currently implemented using a macro.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyFinal
+verifies the data in
+.Fa ctx
+against the signature in
+.Fa sig
+of length
+.Fa siglen .
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerify
+verifies
+.Fa tbslen
+bytes at
+.Fa tbs
+against the signature in
+.Fa sig
+of length
+.Fa siglen .
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerify
+is a one shot operation which verifies a single block of data
+in one function call.
+For algorithms that support streaming it is equivalent to calling
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate
+and
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyFinal .
+.\" For algorithms which do not support streaming
+.\" (e.g. PureEdDSA)
+.\" it is the only way to verify data.
+.Pp
+The EVP interface to digital signatures should almost always be
+used in preference to the low-level interfaces.
+This is because the code then becomes transparent to the algorithm used
+and much more flexible.
+.Pp
+The call to
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyFinal
+internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
+This means that
+.Xr EVP_VerifyUpdate 3
+and
+.Xr EVP_VerifyFinal 3
+can be called later to digest and verify additional data.
+.Pp
+Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized, the context
+must be cleaned up after use by calling
+.Xr EVP_MD_CTX_free 3
+or a memory leak will occur.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyInit
+and
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyUpdate
+return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
+.Pp
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerifyFinal
+and
+.Fn EVP_DigestVerify
+return 1 for success; any other value indicates failure.
+A return value of 0 indicates that the signature did not verify
+successfully (that is, the signature did not match the original
+data or the signature had an invalid form), while other values
+indicate a more serious error (and sometimes also indicate an invalid
+signature form).
+.Pp
+The error codes can be obtained from
+.Xr ERR_get_error 3 .
