Parameters

HashFunction - …
Key - subkey to be verified
Signature - verification signature will be placed here
SubjectSignature - signature to be verified
PublicKey - some public key
User - the TElPGPUserIDor TElPGPUserAttr object that identifies the owner of the PublicKey

Return value

True if the signature is correct,
False otherwise

Description

Use this method to verify different kinds of signatures.

(1) Verifies standalone signature. Standalone signatures are used rarely due to their low security level.

(2) Verifies a subkey/primary key binding signature. This kind of signature is usually used either to bind a subkey to a parent key, or to countersign the existing public key.

(3) Verifies a countersignature over existing signature.

(4) Verifies certification signature. Certification signatures are used to bind user information (such as e-mail address or photo) to his public key.

(5) …
