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.

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

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

$pubKey = New-Object Chilkat.PublicKey

# Load the public key from an PEM file:
$success = $pubKey.LoadFromFile("pubKey.pem")
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($pubKey.LastErrorText)

# Load the data of the original file that was signed.

# Load the signature.
$bdSig = New-Object Chilkat.BinData

# Import the public key into the RSA component:

# OpenSSL uses big-endian.
$rsa.LittleEndian = $false

    $($rsa.LastErrorText)
    $("The signature was invalid.")
