Verifying a Signature

Function

This API is used to verify the signature of a message or digest using the public key of an asymmetric key.

Constraints

Only the asymmetric key whose key_usage is SIGN_VERIFY can be used for signature verification.

SM2 keys can only be used to sign message digests.

Calling Method

For details, see Calling APIs.

URI

POST /v1.0/{project_id}/kms/verify

**Table 1** Path Parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
project_id	Yes	String	Project ID

Request Parameters

**Table 2** Request header parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
X-Auth-Token	Yes	String	User token. It can be obtained by calling the IAM API used to obtain a user token. The value of X-Subject-Token in the response header is the user token.

**Table 3** Request body parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
key_id	Yes	String	A 36-byte key ID which matches the regular expression ^[0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{12}$, for example, 0d0466b0-e727-4d9c-b35d-f84bb474a37f.
message	Yes	String	Message digest or message to be signed. The message must be smaller than 4,096 bytes and in Base64 format.
signature	Yes	String	Value of signature to be valued, which is in Base64 format.
signing_algorithm	Yes	String	Signature algorithm. Possible values are as follows: RSASSA_PSS_SHA_256 RSASSA_PSS_SHA_384 RSASSA_PSS_SHA_512 RSASSA_PKCS1_V1_5_SHA_256 RSASSA_PKCS1_V1_5_SHA_384 RSASSA_PKCS1_V1_5_SHA_512 ECDSA_SHA_256 ECDSA_SHA_384 ECDSA_SHA_512 SM2DSA_SM3
message_type	No	String	Message type. The default value is DIGEST. Possible values are as follows: DIGEST: message digest RAW: message
sequence	No	String	A 36-byte serial number of a request message, for example, 919c82d4-8046-4722-9094-35c3c6524cff
