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 | The algorithm to use. Currently supported: HMAC. |
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. |
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. |
Example
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);
