verify Method

Verifies a digital signature using a key.

Syntax

def verify(key_name: str, version_id: str, is_digest: bool) -> bool: ...

Remarks

This method verifies a digital signature using the asymmetric key version specified by KeyName and VersionId. If the signature is successfully verified, this method return True, otherwise it returns False.

The message data is taken from the the specified input_file or the input_data property. The digital signature data is taken from the specified output_file or the output_data property.

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.

Google does not support server-side signature verification, so this method will call get_public_key internally and then use the public key to verify the digital signature locally. This functionality is offered as a convenience.
