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. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' Create the same string we previously signed in this example: 
' RSA Sign utf-8 Bytes of String to get Base64 RSA Signature

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 10
    sb.AppendLine("This is a test.",crlfLineEnding)
