verify
The verify()
operation verifies a digital signature. It ensures that some data was signed by a known key and that the data has not been tampered with since it was signed.
Usage
verify(algorithm, key, signature, data)
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
algorithm | string or object with a single name string property ({name: "RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5"} ) or an EcdsaParams, HmacKeyGenParams, or RsaPssParams object. | The signature algorithm to use. |
key | CryptoKey | The key that will be used to verify the signature. |
signature | ArrayBuffer | The signature to verify. |
data | ArrayBuffer | The data whose signature is to be verified. |
Supported algorithms
ECDSA | HMAC | RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 | RSA-PSS |
---|---|---|---|
✅ EcdsaParams | ✅ HmacKeyGenParams | ✅ | ✅ RsaPssParams |
Return Value
A Promise
that resolves to a boolean
value indicating if the signature is valid.
Throws
Type | Description |
---|---|
InvalidAccessError | Raised when the key either does not support the verify operation, or is incompatible with the selected algorithm. |
Examples
Verifying an HMAC signature
import { crypto } from 'k6/experimental/webcrypto';
export default async function () {
const generatedKey = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
{
name: 'HMAC',
hash: { name: 'SHA-1' },
},
true,
['sign', 'verify']
);
const data = string2ArrayBuffer('Hello World');
/**
* Signes the encoded data with the provided key using the HMAC algorithm
* the returned signature can be verified using the verify method.
*/
const signature = await crypto.subtle.sign('HMAC', generatedKey, data);
/**
* Verifies the signature of the encoded data with the provided key using the HMAC algorithm.
*/
const verified = await crypto.subtle.verify('HMAC', generatedKey, signature, data);
console.log('verified: ', verified);
}
function string2ArrayBuffer(str) {
const buf = new ArrayBuffer(str.length * 2); // 2 bytes for each char
const bufView = new Uint16Array(buf);
for (let i = 0, strLen = str.length; i < strLen; i++) {
bufView[i] = str.charCodeAt(i);
}
return buf;
}
Verifying an ECDSA signature
import { crypto } from 'k6/experimental/webcrypto';
export default async function () {
const publicKey = await crypto.subtle.importKey(
'spki',
spkiPublicKeyData,
{ name: 'ECDSA', namedCurve: 'P-256' },
true,
['verify']
);
// Verifies the signature of the encoded data with the provided key
const verified = await crypto.subtle.verify(
{
name: 'ECDSA',
hash: 'SHA-256',
},
publicKey,
signature,
plaintText
);
console.log('verified: ', verified);
