(Objective-C) RSA Hash Binary Data and Sign (and Verify)

Demonstrates how to sign the hash of binary data. Also demonstrates how to verify the RSA signature.

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.

BOOL success = [privKey LoadEncryptedPemFile: @"qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem" password: @"passwd"];

// Show the RSA signature in base64
NSLog(@"%@",[bdSignature GetEncoded: @"base64"]);

// ------------------------------------------
// Get the public key from the private key
CkoPublicKey *pubKey = [privKey GetPublicKey];

// Verify the signature..

[rsa2 ImportPublicKeyObj: pubKey];

BOOL bVerified = [rsa2 VerifyBd: bdData hashAlgorithm: @"sha256" bdSig: bdSignature];
