openssl_verify — Verify signature
$data
,$signature
,$public_key
,$algorithm
= OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
openssl_verify() verifies that the
signature
is correct for the specified
data
using the public key associated with
public_key
. This must be the public key
corresponding to the private key used for signing.
data
The string of data used to generate the signature previously
signature
A raw binary string, generated by openssl_sign() or similar means
public_key
OpenSSLAsymmetricKey - a key, returned by openssl_get_publickey()
string - a PEM formatted key (e.g. -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MIIBCgK...
)
algorithm
int - one of these Signature Algorithms.
string - a valid string returned by openssl_get_md_methods() example, "sha1WithRSAEncryption" or "sha512".
Returns 1 if the signature is correct, 0 if it is incorrect, and
-1 or false
on error.
Version | Description |
---|---|
8.0.0 |
public_key accepts an OpenSSLAsymmetricKey
or OpenSSLCertificate instance now;
previously, a resource of type OpenSSL key or OpenSSL X.509
was accepted.

Example #1 openssl_verify() example
<?php// $data and $signature are assumed to contain the data and the signature// fetch public key from certificate and ready it$pubkeyid = openssl_pkey_get_public("file://src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem");// state whether signature is okay or not$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $pubkeyid);if ($ok == 1) { echo "good";} elseif ($ok == 0) { echo "bad";} else { echo "ugly, error checking signature";}// free the key from memoryopenssl_free_key($pubkeyid);?>
Example #2 openssl_verify() example
<?php//data you want to sign$data = 'my data';//create new private and public key$private_key_res = openssl_pkey_new(array( "private_key_bits" => 2048, "private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,));$details = openssl_pkey_get_details($private_key_res);$public_key_res = openssl_pkey_get_public($details['key']);//create signatureopenssl_sign($data, $signature, $private_key_res, "sha256WithRSAEncryption");//verify signature$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $public_key_res, OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA256);if ($ok == 1) { echo "valid";} elseif ($ok == 0) { echo "invalid";} else { echo "error: ".openssl_error_string();}?>
