React Native Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Verify an RSA Signature Against the Signed String

See more Apple Keychain Examples

Demonstrates how to validate an RSA Signature against the string that was signed. React Native

import { PublicKey, Rsa, StringBuilder } from '@chilkat/react-native'

function chilkatExample() {
  // Create the same string we previously signed in this example: 
  // RSA Sign utf-8 Bytes of String to get Base64 RSA Signature

  const sb = new StringBuilder();
  const crlfLineEnding = true;
  for (let i = 0; i <= 10; i++) {
    sb.appendLine('This is a test.', crlfLineEnding);
  }

  const base64RsaSig = 'gWgpEXQqvXN6wh0MuFXPiw2xCb8cnmdizBT1TD1Tpm2GlJ8gnD59DGSj35GGXk1tM+mCOvMa2uW/9gmz8p6A90JLbn918i/2wKGvcde4wXnzPO7JADSNn2UwYzf3rp4/q/JrHv1GZETRJhABSFqTxOgdmdbEJQE/zijOSctCtQAM2CTb6t2BO8uHKSSUAwPH2cbeWxqsaVRLT4ruk5nZOxhoLgLMSjupiSzbE8zSTkkFOEHD+Mbb2xwg85AI0E4DsUnp+hLwwtS0blesgSyvtBY8oJODJeFcJsR7JDOTPdzHQHgJRl/2A4ij5xT91TpXy7ok43jhT6O9j7Q3qrafIQ==';
