+=head1 NAME
+
+EVP_VerifyInit_ex,
+EVP_VerifyInit, EVP_VerifyUpdate, EVP_VerifyFinal
+- EVP signature verification functions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/evp.h>
+
+ int EVP_VerifyInit_ex(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type, ENGINE *impl);
+ int EVP_VerifyUpdate(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const void *d, unsigned int cnt);
+ int EVP_VerifyFinal(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *sigbuf, unsigned int siglen, EVP_PKEY *pkey);
+
+ int EVP_VerifyInit(EVP_MD_CTX *ctx, const EVP_MD *type);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The EVP signature verification routines are a high level interface to digital
+signatures.
+
+EVP_VerifyInit_ex() sets up verification context B<ctx> to use digest
+B<type> from ENGINE B<impl>. B<ctx> must be created by calling
+EVP_MD_CTX_new() before calling this function.
+
+EVP_VerifyUpdate() hashes B<cnt> bytes of data at B<d> into the
+verification context B<ctx>. This function can be called several times on the
+same B<ctx> to include additional data.
+
+EVP_VerifyFinal() verifies the data in B<ctx> using the public key B<pkey>
+and against the B<siglen> bytes at B<sigbuf>.
+
+EVP_VerifyInit() initializes verification context B<ctx> to use the default
+implementation of digest B<type>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+EVP_VerifyInit_ex() and EVP_VerifyUpdate() return 1 for success and 0 for
+failure.
+
+EVP_VerifyFinal() returns 1 for a correct signature, 0 for failure and -1 if some
+other error occurred.
+
+The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The B<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.
+
+The call to EVP_VerifyFinal() internally finalizes a copy of the digest context.
+This means that calls to EVP_VerifyUpdate() and EVP_VerifyFinal() can be called
+later to digest and verify additional data.
+
+Since only a copy of the digest context is ever finalized the context must
+be cleaned up after use by calling EVP_MD_CTX_cleanup() or a memory leak
+will occur.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+Older versions of this documentation wrongly stated that calls to
+EVP_VerifyUpdate() could not be made after calling EVP_VerifyFinal().
+
+Since the public key is passed in the call to EVP_SignFinal() any error
+relating to the private key (for example an unsuitable key and digest
+combination) will not be indicated until after potentially large amounts of
+data have been passed through EVP_SignUpdate().
+
+It is not possible to change the signing parameters using these function.
+
+The previous two bugs are fixed in the newer EVP_VerifyDigest*() function.
