RSACryptoServiceProvider.VerifyData(Byte[], Object, Byte[]) Method
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Verifies that a digital signature is valid by determining the hash value in the signature using the provided public key and comparing it to the hash value of the provided data.
public:
bool VerifyData(cli::array <System::Byte> ^ buffer, System::Object ^ halg, cli::array <System::Byte> ^ signature);
public bool VerifyData (byte[] buffer, object halg, byte[] signature);
override this.VerifyData : byte[] * obj * byte[] -> bool
member this.VerifyData : byte[] * obj * byte[] -> bool
Public Function VerifyData (buffer As Byte(), halg As Object, signature As Byte()) As Boolean
Parameters
- buffer
- Byte[]
The data that was signed.
- halg
- Object
The name of the hash algorithm used to create the hash value of the data.
- signature
- Byte[]
The signature data to be verified.
Returns
true
if the signature is valid; otherwise, false
.
Exceptions
The halg
parameter is null
.
The halg
parameter is not a valid type.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the VerifyData method to verify a signature. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the SignHash method.
bool VerifyHash( RSAParameters rsaParams, array<Byte>^signedData, array<Byte>^signature )
{
RSACryptoServiceProvider^ rsaCSP = gcnew RSACryptoServiceProvider;
SHA1Managed^ hash = gcnew SHA1Managed;
array<Byte>^hashedData;
rsaCSP->ImportParameters( rsaParams );
bool dataOK = rsaCSP->VerifyData(signedData, CryptoConfig::MapNameToOID("SHA1"), signature);
hashedData = hash->ComputeHash( signedData );
return rsaCSP->VerifyHash( hashedData, CryptoConfig::MapNameToOID( "SHA1" ), signature );
}
public bool VerifyHash(RSAParameters rsaParams, byte[] signedData, byte[] signature)
{
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaCSP = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
SHA1Managed hash = new SHA1Managed();
byte[] hashedData;
rsaCSP.ImportParameters(rsaParams);
bool dataOK = rsaCSP.VerifyData(signedData, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"), signature);
hashedData = hash.ComputeHash(signedData);
return rsaCSP.VerifyHash(hashedData, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"), signature);
}
Public Function VerifyHash(ByVal rsaParams As RSAParameters, ByVal signedData() As Byte, ByVal signature() As Byte) As Boolean
Dim rsaCSP As New RSACryptoServiceProvider()
Dim hash As New SHA1Managed()
Dim hashedData() As Byte
Dim dataOK As Boolean
rsaCSP.ImportParameters(rsaParams)
dataOK = rsaCSP.VerifyData(signedData, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"), signature)
hashedData = hash.ComputeHash(signedData)
Return rsaCSP.VerifyHash(hashedData, CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"), signature)
End Function 'VerifyHash
Remarks
This method verifies the RSA digital signature produced by the SignData method. The signature is verified by obtaining the hash value from the signature using the public key it was signed with, and comparing that value to the hash value of the provided data.
The halg
parameter can accept a String, a HashAlgorithm, or a Type.
