Tests whether digitally signed data has been changed since it was signed.

Syntax

VerifySignedByAsymKey( Asym_Key_ID , clear_text , signature )

Arguments

Asym_Key_ID
Is the ID of an asymmetric key certificate in the database.

clear_text
Is clear text data that is being verified.

signature
Is the signature that was attached to the signed data. signature is varbinary.

Return Types

int

Returns 1 when the signatures match; otherwise 0.

Remarks

VerifySignedByAsymKey decrypts the signature of the data by using the public key of the specified asymmetric key, and compares the decrypted value to a newly computed MD5 hash of the data. If the values match, the signature is confirmed to be valid.

Permissions

Requires VIEW DEFINITION permission on the asymmetric key.

Examples

A. Testing for data with a valid signature

The following example returns 1 if the selected data has not been changed since it was signed with asymmetric key WillisKey74. The example returns 0 if the data has been tampered with.

SELECT Data,  
     VerifySignedByAsymKey( AsymKey_Id( 'WillisKey74' ), SignedData,  
     DataSignature ) as IsSignatureValid  
FROM [AdventureWorks2022].[SignedData04]   
WHERE Description = N'data encrypted by asymmetric key ''WillisKey74''';  
GO  
RETURN;

B. Returning a result set that contains data with a valid signature

The following example returns rows in SignedData04 that contain data that has not been changed since it was signed with asymmetric key WillisKey74. The example calls the function AsymKey_ID to obtain the ID of the asymmetric key from the database.

SELECT Data   
FROM [AdventureWorks2022].[SignedData04]   
WHERE VerifySignedByAsymKey( AsymKey_Id( 'WillisKey74' ), Data,  
     DataSignature ) = 1  
AND Description = N'data encrypted by asymmetric key ''WillisKey74''';  
GO
