Duplicate openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubKey.pem -signature signature.sig in.dat

See more OpenSSL Examples

Demonstrates how to duplicate this OpenSSL command:
openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubKey.pem -signature signature.sig in.dat
The in.dat file contains the original data that was signed, and can contain text or binary data of any type. The above OpenSSL command does the following:
  1. Creates a SHA256 digest of the contents of the input file.
  2. Verifies the SHA256 digest using the public key.
