Hello Tomas,
There was a logic error in my code, I did not realize that the first iteration of the verification was supposed to fail. The verification is working correctly! I apologize for my last response. I really appreciate all your help!
Thank you very much,
Diego Gonzalez

Hi,
unfortunately I do not see anything wrong with the code. Does the EVP_DigestVerifyFinal return 0 or negative value? I do not think this is a bug in OpenSSL as this API is thoroughly tested and it is highly improbable that there would be a bug in the ECDSA verification through this API.
I am currently out of ideas on what could be wrong or how to investigate further. Perhaps someone else can chime in on what can be wrong?
