SubtleCrypto: verify() method

Baseline Widely available *

Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

The verify() method of the SubtleCrypto interface verifies a digital signature.

It takes as its arguments a key to verify the signature with, some algorithm-specific parameters, the signature, and the original signed data. It returns a Promise which will be fulfilled with a boolean value indicating whether the signature is valid.

Syntax
verify(algorithm, key, signature, data)
Parameters
algorithm

A string or object defining the algorithm to use, and for some algorithm choices, some extra parameters. The values given for the extra parameters must match those passed into the corresponding sign() call.

key

A CryptoKey containing the key that will be used to verify the signature. It is the secret key for a symmetric algorithm and the public key for a public-key system.

signature

A ArrayBuffer containing the signature to verify.

data

A ArrayBuffer containing the data whose signature is to be verified.

Return value

A Promise that fulfills with a boolean value: true if the signature is valid, false otherwise.

Exceptions

The promise is rejected when the following exception is encountered:

InvalidAccessError DOMException

Raised when the encryption key is not a key for the requested verifying algorithm or when trying to use an algorithm that is either unknown or isn't suitable for a verify operation.

Supported algorithms

The verify() method supports the same algorithms as the sign() method.

Examples

Note: You can try the working examples out on GitHub.

RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5

This code uses a public key to verify a signature. See the complete code on GitHub.

/*
Fetch the contents of the "message" textbox, and encode it
in a form we can use for sign operation.
*/
function getMessageEncoding() {
  const messageBox = document.querySelector(".rsassa-pkcs1 #message");
  let message = messageBox.value;
  let enc = new TextEncoder();
  return enc.encode(message);
}

/*
Fetch the encoded message-to-sign and verify it against the stored signature.
* If it checks out, set the "valid" class on the signature.
* Otherwise set the "invalid" class.
*/
async function verifyMessage(publicKey) {
  const signatureValue = document.querySelector(
    ".rsassa-pkcs1 .signature-value",
  );
  signatureValue.classList.remove("valid", "invalid");

  let encoded = getMessageEncoding();
  let result = await window.crypto.subtle.verify(
    "RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5",
    publicKey,
    signature,
    encoded,
  );

  signatureValue.classList.add(result ? "valid" : "invalid");
}
RSA-PSS

This code uses a public key to verify a signature. See the complete code on GitHub.

/*
Fetch the contents of the "message" textbox, and encode it
in a form we can use for sign operation.
*/
function getMessageEncoding() {
  const messageBox = document.querySelector(".rsa-pss #message");
  let message = messageBox.value;
  let enc = new TextEncoder();
  return enc.encode(message);
}

/*
Fetch the encoded message-to-sign and verify it against the stored signature.
* If it checks out, set the "valid" class on the signature.
* Otherwise set the "invalid" class.
*/
async function verifyMessage(publicKey) {
  const signatureValue = document.querySelector(".rsa-pss .signature-value");
  signatureValue.classList.remove("valid", "invalid");

  let encoded = getMessageEncoding();
  let result = await window.crypto.subtle.verify(
    {
      name: "RSA-PSS",
      saltLength: 32,
    },
    publicKey,
    signature,
    encoded,
  );

  signatureValue.classList.add(result ? "valid" : "invalid");
}
ECDSA

This code uses a public key to verify a signature. See the complete code on GitHub.

/*
Fetch the contents of the "message" textbox, and encode it
in a form we can use for sign operation.
*/
function getMessageEncoding() {
  const messageBox = document.querySelector(".ecdsa #message");
  let message = messageBox.value;
  let enc = new TextEncoder();
  return enc.encode(message);
}

/*
Fetch the encoded message-to-sign and verify it against the stored signature.
* If it checks out, set the "valid" class on the signature.
* Otherwise set the "invalid" class.
*/
async function verifyMessage(publicKey) {
  const signatureValue = document.querySelector(".ecdsa .signature-value");
  signatureValue.classList.remove("valid", "invalid");

  let encoded = getMessageEncoding();
  let result = await window.crypto.subtle.verify(
    {
      name: "ECDSA",
      hash: { name: "SHA-384" },
    },
    publicKey,
    signature,
    encoded,
  );

  signatureValue.classList.add(result ? "valid" : "invalid");
}
HMAC

This code uses a secret key to verify a signature. See the complete code on GitHub.

/*
Fetch the contents of the "message" textbox, and encode it
in a form we can use for sign operation.
*/
function getMessageEncoding() {
  const messageBox = document.querySelector(".hmac #message");
  let message = messageBox.value;
  let enc = new TextEncoder();
  return enc.encode(message);
}

/*
Fetch the encoded message-to-sign and verify it against the stored signature.
* If it checks out, set the "valid" class on the signature.
* Otherwise set the "invalid" class.
*/
async function verifyMessage(key) {
  const signatureValue = document.querySelector(".hmac .signature-value");
  signatureValue.classList.remove("valid", "invalid");

  let encoded = getMessageEncoding();
  let result = await window.crypto.subtle.verify(
    "HMAC",
    key,
    signature,
    encoded,
  );

  signatureValue.classList.add(result ? "valid" : "invalid");
}
Ed25519

The Ed25519 live example in SubtleCrypto.sign() shows how to generate public and private keys, use the private key to sign some data, and then use the public key to verify the signature.

The excerpt below shows the part that is relevant for verifying the signature using the public key and encoded data:

// Verify the signature using the public key
const verifyResult = await crypto.subtle.verify(
  {
    name: "Ed25519",
  },
  publicKey,
  signature,
  encodedData,
);
// True if the signature is valid.
