Demonstrates how to verify an RSA signature of a SHA256 hash. Chilkat2-Python

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

# Let's say you have a file containing the 32-bytes of a SHA256 hash,
# and a file that is an RSA signature of those 32 bytes.
# Here's how you verify using the RSA public key found in a PEM.

pubKey = chilkat2.PublicKey()
success = pubKey.LoadFromFile("rsaPubKey.pem")
if (success == False):
    print(pubKey.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

rsa = chilkat2.Rsa()

# Get the public key.
success = rsa.UsePublicKey(pubKey)
if (success == False):
    print(rsa.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Get the 32-byte SHA256 hash.
bdHash = chilkat2.BinData()
success = bdHash.LoadFile("myHash.sha256")

# Get the RSA signature to be validated.
bdSig = chilkat2.BinData()
