CryptVerifyMessageSignatureWithKey (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

This function verifies a signed message's signature by using specified public key information.

Syntax

BOOL WINAPI CryptVerifyMessageSignatureWithKey (
    __in PCRYPT_KEY_VERIFY_MESSAGE_PARA pVerifyPara,
    __in PCERT_PUBLIC_KEY_INFO pPublicKeyInfo, 
    __in const BYTE *pbSignedBlob, 
    __in DWORD cbSignedBlob,
    __out BYTE *pbDecoded, 
    __inout DWORD *pcbDecoded 
);

Parameters

• pVerifyPara
  [in] Pointer to a CRYPT_KEY_VERIFY_MESSAGE_PARA structure that contains verification parameters.

• pPublicKeyInfo
  [in] Pointer to a CERT_PUBLIC_KEY_INFO structure that contains the public key that is used to verify the signed message. If NULL, the signature is not verified.

• pbSignedBlob
  [in] Pointer to a buffer that contains the signed message.

• cbSignedBlob
  [in] Size, in bytes, of the signed message buffer.

• pbDecoded
  [out] Pointer to a buffer to receive the decoded message.

  This parameter can be NULL if the decoded message is not needed for additional processing or to set the size of the message for memory allocation purposes. For more information, see Retrieving Data of Unknown Length.

• pcbDecoded
  [in, out] Pointer to a DWORD value that specifies the size, in bytes, of the pbDecoded buffer. When the function returns, this DWORD contains the size, in bytes, of the decoded message. The decoded message will not be returned if this parameter is NULL.

  Note

  When processing the data returned, applications must use the actual size of the data returned. The actual size can be slightly smaller than the size of the buffer specified on input. (On input, buffer sizes are usually specified large enough to ensure that the largest possible output data will fit in the buffer.) On output, the variable pointed to by this parameter is updated to reflect the actual size of the data copied to the buffer.

Return Value

If the function succeeds, the return value is zero (TRUE); otherwise, it is nonzero (FALSE). For extended error information, call GetLastError.

The following are the error codes most commonly returned by the GetLastError function.
