RSACryptoServiceProvider.VerifyHash Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
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 provided hash value.
Namespace: System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly: mscorlib.Extensions (in mscorlib.Extensions.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Function VerifyHash ( _
rgbHash As Byte(), _
str As String, _
rgbSignature As Byte() _
) As Boolean
[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public bool VerifyHash(
byte[] rgbHash,
string str,
byte[] rgbSignature
)
Parameters
- rgbHash
Type: array<System.Byte[]
The hash value of the signed data.
- str
Type: System.String
The hash algorithm identifier (OID) used to create the hash value of the data.
- rgbSignature
Type: array<System.Byte[]
The signature data to be verified.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the signature is valid; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
ArgumentNullException | The rgbHash parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). -or- The rgbSignature parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
CryptographicException | The cryptographic service provider (CSP) cannot be acquired. -or- The signature cannot be verified. |
Remarks
This method verifies the RSA digital signature produced by the SignHash 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.
