NAME

CSSM_VerifyData

SYNOPSIS

CSSM_BOOL CSSMAPI CSSM_VerifyData
    (CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
    const CSSM_DATA_PTR DataBufs,
    uint32 DataBufCount,
    const CSSM_DATA_PTR Signature)

DESCRIPTION

This function verifies the input data against the provided signature.

PARAMETERS

CCHandle (input)

The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.

DataBufs (input)

A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that contain the data to be operated on.

DataBufCount (input)

The number of DataBufs to be verified.

Signature (input)

A pointer to a CSSM_DATA structure which contains the signature and the size of the signature.

RETURN VALUE

A CSSM_TRUE return value signifies the signature was successfully verified. When CSSM_FALSE is returned, either the signature was not successfully verified or an error has occurred. Use CSSM_GetError to obtain the error code.
