gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2(3)

NAME
gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2 - API function

SYNOPSIS
#include <gnutls/abstract.h>

int gnutls_pubkey_verify_hash2(gnutls_pubkey_t key, gnutls_sign_algorithm_t algo, unsigned int flags, const gnutls_datum_t * hash, const gnutls_datum_t * signature);

ARGUMENTS

gnutls_pubkey_t key
    Holds the public key

gnutls_sign_algorithm_t algo
    The signature algorithm used

unsigned int flags
    Zero or one of gnutls_pubkey_flags_t

const gnutls_datum_t * hash
    holds the hash digest to be verified

const gnutls_datum_t * signature
    contains the signature

DESCRIPTION
This function will verify the given signed digest, using the parameters from the public key. Note that unlike gnutls_privkey_sign_hash(), this function accepts a signature algorithm instead of a digest algorithm. You can use gnutls_pk_to_sign() to get the appropriate value.

RETURNS
In case of a verification failure GNUTLS_E_PK_SIG_VERIFY_FAILED is returned, and zero or positive code on success.

SINCE
3.0
