RSACryptoServiceProvider::VerifyData Method (array<Byte>^, Object^, array<Byte>^)
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.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public: bool VerifyData( array<unsigned char>^ buffer, Object^ halg, array<unsigned char>^ signature )
Parameters
- buffer
-
Type:
array<System::Byte>^
The data that was signed.
- halg
-
Type:
System::Object^
The name of the hash algorithm used to create the hash value of the data.
- signature
-
Type:
array<System::Byte>^
The signature data to be verified.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The halg parameter is null. |
| ArgumentException | The halg parameter is not a valid type. |
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.
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 ); }
