Verify Method

Verifies an enveloped or enveloping signature contained in a buffer.

Syntax

publickeycrypto.verify(buffer_Buffer, [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, buffer){ }

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

'buffer' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Use this method to verify an enveloped or enveloping signature contained in a byte array.The method verifies the signature and extracts the original signed content intoanother byte array.

The validation result is stored in SignatureValidationResult property.

Use VerifyDetached to verify detached signatures.

Specify the verification key in the Key property before commencing verification.
