16
68756b12 17CMS_final() finalises the structure B<cms>. Its purpose is to perform any
287df2fe 18operations necessary on B<cms> (digest computation for example) and set the
1bc74519 19appropriate fields. The parameter B<data> contains the content to be
287df2fe
DSH
20processed. The B<dcont> parameter contains a BIO to write content to after
21processing: this is only used with detached data and will usually be set to
22NULL.
23

VS
24CMS_final_digest() finalises the structure B<cms> using a pre-computed digest,
25rather than computing the digest from the original data.

27=head1 NOTES
28
07342bad 29These functions will normally be called when the B<CMS_PARTIAL> flag is used. It
287df2fe
DSH
30should only be used when streaming is not performed because the streaming
31I/O functions perform finalisation operations internally.
32

33To sign a pre-computed digest, L<CMS_sign(3)> or CMS_sign_ex() is called
34with the B<data> parameter set to NULL before the CMS structure is finalised
35with the digest provided to CMS_final_digest() in binary form.
36When signing a pre-computed digest, the security relies on the digest and its
37computation from the original message being trusted.
