 When signing with DSA private keys the random number generator must be seeded
 or the operation will fail. The random number generator does not need to be
 seeded for RSA signatures.

 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.
