(Swift) 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 requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // 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.
    let privKey = CkoPrivateKey()!
    success = privKey.loadEncryptedPemFile("qa_data/pem/rsa_passwd.pem", password: "passwd")
    if success == false {
        print("\(privKey.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    let rsa = CkoRsa()!
    rsa.use(privKey)

    // We have some binary data (in hex) to sign
    var originalData: String? = "0102030405060708090A"
    let bdData = CkoBinData()!
    bdData.appendEncoded(originalData, encoding: "hex")

    // Hash (SHA-256) and sign the hash:
    let bdSignature = CkoBinData()!
    success = rsa.signBd(bdData, hashAlgorithm: "sha256", bdSig: bdSignature)
    if success == false {
        print("\(rsa.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Show the RSA signature in base64
    print("\(bdSignature.getEncoded("base64")!)")

    // ------------------------------------------
    // Get the public key from the private key
    let pubKey = CkoPublicKey()!
    privKey.to(pubKey)

    // Verify the signature..
    let rsa2 = CkoRsa()!
    rsa2.use(pubKey)

    var bVerified: Bool = rsa2.verifyBd(bdData, hashAlgorithm: "sha256", bdSig: bdSignature)
    print("signature verified: \(bVerified)")
