BIO_METHOD
* BIO_f_md(void);
int BIO_set_md(BIO *b,EVP_MD *md);
int
BIO_get_md(BIO *b,EVP_MD **mdp);
int BIO_get_md_ctx(BIO
*b,EVP_MD_CTX **mdcp);
DESCRIPTION BIO_f_md() returns the message digest BIO method. This is
a filter BIO that digests any data passed through it, it is a BIO
wrapper for the digest routines EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestUpdate()
and EVP_DigestFinal(). Any data written or read through a digest BIO using BIO_read() and BIO_write() is digested.
BIO_gets(), if its size parameter is large enough finishes the digest calculation and returns the digest value. BIO_puts() is not supported.
BIO_reset() reinitialises a digest BIO.
BIO_set_md() sets the message digest of BIO b to md: this must be called to initialize a digest BIO before any data is passed through it. It is a BIO_ctrl() macro.
BIO_get_md() places the a pointer to the digest BIOs digest method in mdp, it is a BIO_ctrl() macro.
BIO_get_md_ctx() returns the digest BIOs context into mdcp.
NOTES The context returned by BIO_get_md_ctx() can be used in calls
to EVP_DigestFinal() and also the signature routines EVP_SignFinal()
and EVP_VerifyFinal(). The context returned by BIO_get_md_ctx() is an internal context structure. Changes made to this context will affect the digest BIO itself and the context pointer will become invalid when the digest BIO is freed.
After the digest has been retrieved from a digest BIO it must be reinitialized by calling BIO_reset(), or BIO_set_md() before any more data is passed through it.
If an application needs to call BIO_gets() or BIO_puts() through a chain containing digest BIOs then this can be done by prepending a buffering BIO.
RETURN VALUES BIO_f_md() returns the digest BIO method. BIO_set_md(), BIO_get_md() and BIO_md_ctx() return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
EXAMPLES The following example creates a BIO chain containing an SHA1
and MD5 digest BIO and passes the string "Hello World" through it.
Error checking has been omitted for clarity. BIO *bio, *mdtmp; char message[] = "Hello World"; bio = BIO_new(BIO_s_null()); mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md()); BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_sha1()); /* For BIO_push() we want to append the sink BIO and keep a note of * the start of the chain. */ bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio); mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md()); BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_md5()); bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio); /* Note: mdtmp can now be discarded */ BIO_write(bio, message, strlen(message));The next example digests data by reading through a chain instead:
BIO *bio, *mdtmp;
char buf[1024];
int rdlen;
bio = BIO_new_file(file, "rb");
mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_sha1());
bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
mdtmp = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
BIO_set_md(mdtmp, EVP_md5());
bio = BIO_push(mdtmp, bio);
do {
rdlen = BIO_read(bio, buf, sizeof(buf));
/* Might want to do something with the data here */
} while(rdlen > 0);This next example retrieves the message digests from a BIO
chain and outputs them. This could be used with the examples above. BIO *mdtmp;
unsigned char mdbuf[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
int mdlen;
int i;
mdtmp = bio; /* Assume bio has previously been set up */
do {
EVP_MD *md;
mdtmp = BIO_find_type(mdtmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
if(!mdtmp) break;
BIO_get_md(mdtmp, &md);
printf("%s digest", OBJ_nid2sn(EVP_MD_type(md)));
mdlen = BIO_gets(mdtmp, mdbuf, EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE);
for(i = 0; i < mdlen; i++) printf(":%02X", mdbuf[i]);
printf("\n");
mdtmp = BIO_next(mdtmp);
} while(mdtmp);
BIO_free_all(bio); Restrictions The lack of support for BIO_puts() and the non standard behaviour
of BIO_gets() could be regarded as anomalous. It could be argued
that BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() should be passed to the next BIO
in the chain and digest the data passed through and that digests
should be retrieved using a separate BIO_ctrl() call. SEE ALSO None.
