Property Value

Type	Description
SignatureParameters

API Level: 3

Methods

Sign(String, String, Byte[])

Creates a signature on a given message using a private key and returns the signature.

Declaration

public byte[] Sign(string privateKeyAlias, string password, byte[] message)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	privateKeyAlias	The name of private key.
String	password	The password used in decrypting a private key value.
Byte[]	message	The message that is signed with a private key.

Returns

Type	Description
Byte[]	A newly created signature.

Remarks

The key type specified by the privateKeyAlias should be compatible with the algorithm specified in Parameters.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The privateKeyAlias or message is null.
ArgumentException	The privateKeyAlias is invalid format.
InvalidOperationException	The key-protecting password isn't matched. The key does not exist with the privateKeyAlias.

API Level: 3

Verify(String, String, Byte[], Byte[])

Verifies a given signature on a given message using a public key and returns the signature status.

Declaration

public bool Verify(string publicKeyAlias, string password, byte[] message, byte[] signature)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	publicKeyAlias	The name of public key.
String	password	The password used in decrypting a public key value.
Byte[]	message	The input on which the signature is created.
Byte[]	signature	The signature that is verified with public key.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	The signature status. True is returned when the signature is valid.

Remarks

The key type specified by publicKeyAlias should be compatible with the algorithm specified in Parameters.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	The publicKeyAlias, message or signature is null.
ArgumentException	The publicKeyAlias is invalid format.
InvalidOperationException	The key-protecting password isn't matched. The key does not exist with the publicKeyAlias.
