Verify Method

Verifies a digital signature using a key.

Syntax

azurekeys.verify(keyName, algorithm, isDigest, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method verifies a digital signature using the key specified by KeyName and the given Algorithm. The VersionId configuration setting can be used to target a specific key version. If the signature is successfully verified, this method returns true, otherwise it returns false.

The message data is taken from the the specified InputFile or the InputData property. The digital signature data is taken from the specified OutputFile or the OutputData property.

The Algorithm parameter specifies which algorithm was used to sign the data. Possible values are:

  • ES256: ECDSA using P-256 and SHA-256.
  • ES256K: ECDSA using P-256K and SHA-256.
  • ES384: ECDSA using P-384 and SHA-384.
  • ES512: ECDSA using P-521 and SHA-512.
  • PS256: RSASSA-PSS using SHA-256 and MGF1 with SHA-256.
  • PS384: RSASSA-PSS using SHA-384 and MGF1 with SHA-384.
  • PS512: RSASSA-PSS using SHA-512 and MGF1 with SHA-512.
  • RS256: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-256.
  • RS384: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-384.
  • RS512: RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 using SHA-512.

The IsDigest parameter specifies whether the message data is the original message (false) or a message digest (true). When a message digest is supplied, keep in mind that it must be the exact same digest that was used at signing time, regardless of whether it has been recomputed.

If IsDigest is false, the class will automatically compute an appropriate message digest before the request is made. In such cases, the computed digest is made available via the MessageDigest configuration setting.
