(Chilkat2-Python) RSA Sign Binary Data and Verify (Recover the Original Data)

Demonstrates how to RSA sign binary data and then verify/recover the original data.

Note: This example uses methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.77.

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# Load an RSA private key for signing.
privKey = chilkat2.PrivateKey()
success = privKey.LoadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem","passwd")
if (success != True):
    print(privKey.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

rsa = chilkat2.Rsa()
rsa.ImportPrivateKeyObj(privKey)

# We have some binary data (in hex) to sign
originalData = "0102030405060708090A"
bd = chilkat2.BinData()
bd.AppendEncoded(originalData,"hex")

# If successful, the contents of bd are replaced with the RSA signature.
success = rsa.OpenSslSignBd(bd)
if (success != True):
    print(rsa.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Show the RSA signature in base64
print(bd.GetEncoded("base64"))

# ------------------------------------------
# Get the public key from the private key
# pubKey is a CkPublicKey
pubKey = privKey.GetPublicKey()

# Verify the signature and extract the original data.
rsa2 = chilkat2.Rsa()
rsa2.ImportPublicKeyObj(pubKey)

bVerified = rsa2.OpenSslVerifyBd(bd)
print("signature verified: " + str(bVerified))

# Show the original data:
print("original data: " + bd.GetEncoded("hex"))
