DSASignatureDeformatter.VerifySignature(Byte[], Byte[]) Method

Definition

Verifies the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature on the data.

C#
public override bool VerifySignature(byte[] rgbHash, byte[] rgbSignature);

Parameters

rgbHash
Byte[]

The data signed with rgbSignature.

rgbSignature
Byte[]

The signature to be verified for rgbHash.

Returns

true if the signature is valid for the data; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

rgbHash is null.

-or-

rgbSignature is null.

Examples

C#
using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

class DSASample
{
        
    static void Main()

        try
        {
            //Create a new instance of DSA.
            DSA DSA = DSA.Create();

            //The hash to sign.

            //Set the hash algorithm to SHA1.
