DSACryptoServiceProvider::VerifyHash Method (array<Byte>^, String^, array<Byte>^)

 

Verifies the specified signature data by comparing it to the signature computed for the specified hash value.

Namespace:   System.Security.Cryptography
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
bool VerifyHash(
	array<unsigned char>^ rgbHash,
	String^ str,
	array<unsigned char>^ rgbSignature
)

Parameters

rgbHash
Type: array<System::Byte>^

The hash value of the data to be signed.

str
Type: System::String^

The name of the hash algorithm 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 verifies as valid; otherwise, false.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

The rgbHash parameter is null.

-or-

The rgbSignature parameter is null.

CryptographicException

The cryptographic service provider (CSP) cannot be acquired.

-or-

The signature cannot be verified.

This method verifies the DSA digital signature produced by SignHash.

If the str parameter is null, the default hash algorithm (SHA1) is used. The valid hash algorithms is SHA1.
