# EVP\_MD-MDC2(7ssl)

The MDC2 EVP\_MD implementation

## NAME

EVP\_MD-MDC2 - The MDC2 EVP\_MD implementation

## DESCRIPTION

Support for computing MDC2 digests through the **EVP\_MD** API.

### Identity

This implementation is only available with the legacy provider, and is identified with the name "MDC2".

### Gettable Parameters

This implementation supports the common gettable parameters described in **EVP\_MD-common**(7).

### Settable Context Parameters

This implementation supports the following **OSSL\_PARAM**(3) entries, settable for an **EVP\_MD\_CTX** with **EVP\_MD\_CTX\_set\_params**(3):

- "pad-type" (**OSSL\_DIGEST\_PARAM\_PAD\_TYPE**) \<unsigned integer\>

  Sets the padding type to be used. Normally the final MDC2 block is padded with zeros. If the pad type is set to 2 then the final block is padded with 0x80 followed by zeros.
