 =head1 NOTES
 
 The digest of choice for all new applications is SHA1. Other digests are
 however still widely used.
 
-If you wish to sign or verify data using the DSA algorithm then the dss1
-digest must be used.
+When signing a file, B<dgst> will automatically determine the algorithm
+(RSA, ECC, etc) to use for signing based on the private key's ASN.1 info.
+When verifying signatures, it only handles the RSA, DSA, or ECDSA signature
+itself, not the related data to identify the signer and algorithm used in
+formats such as x.509, CMS, and S/MIME.
 
 A source of random numbers is required for certain signing algorithms, in
-particular DSA.
+particular ECDSA and DSA.
 
 The signing and verify options should only be used if a single file is
 being signed or verified.
 
+Hex signatures cannot be verified using B<openssl>.  Instead, use "xxd -r"
+or similar program to transform the hex signature into a binary signature
+prior to verification.
