verify
Verifies the provided data using the given object
and signature
.
If object
is not a KeyObject
, this function behaves as if object
had been passed to {@link createPublicKey}. If it is an object, the following additional properties can be passed:
The signature
argument is the previously calculated signature for the data, in the signatureEncoding
. If a signatureEncoding
is specified, the signature
is expected to be a string; otherwise signature
is expected to be a Buffer
, TypedArray
, or DataView
.
The verify
object can not be used again after verify.verify()
has been called. Multiple calls to verify.verify()
will result in an error being thrown.
Because public keys can be derived from private keys, a private key may be passed instead of a public key.
