⚠️ This is the archived documentation for k6 v0.47. Go to the latest version.

The verify() operation verifies a digital signature. It ensures that some data was signed by a known key and that the data has not been tampered with since it was signed.

Usage

verify(algorithm, key, signature, data)

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
algorithmstring or object with a single name string propertyThe algorithm to use. Currently supported: HMAC.
keyCryptoKeyThe key that will be used to verify the signature.
signatureArrayBufferThe signature to verify.
dataArrayBufferThe data whose signature is to be verified.

Return Value

A Promise that resolves to a boolean value indicating if the signature is valid.

Throws

TypeDescription
InvalidAccessErrorRaised when the key either does not support the verify operation, or is incompatible with the selected algorithm.

Example

import { crypto } from "k6/experimental/webcrypto";
export default async function () {
const generatedKey = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
{
name: "HMAC",
hash: { name: "SHA-1" },
},
true,
[
"sign",
"verify",
]
);
const data = string2ArrayBuffer("Hello World");
/**
* Signes the encoded data with the provided key using the HMAC algorithm
* the returned signature can be verified using the verify method.
*/
const signature = await crypto.subtle.sign("HMAC", generatedKey, data);
/**
* Verifies the signature of the encoded data with the provided key using the HMAC algorithm.
*/
const verified = await crypto.subtle.verify("HMAC", generatedKey, signature, data);
