Notes

Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling this function multiple times and should consider using EVP_MD_fetch(3) with EVP_MD-MD2(7) instead. See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.

These functions return a EVP_MD structure that contains the implementation of the message digest. See EVP_MD_meth_new(3) for details of the EVP_MD structure.

Conforming to

IETF RFC 1319.
