cipher_sign(privateKeyBytes::bytes, passPhrase::bytes, data::bytes)
cipher_sign(privateKeyBytes::bytes, data::bytes)
This method takes the private key data and the optional passphrase and uses it to generate a signature for the provided data parameter. The return value is a bytes object containing a signature which can be used to verify the data at a later time.
No syntax description available at this time.
This example generates a new private/public key pair and uses them to first sign a block of data and then verify the data both successfully and then unsuccessfully.
Code
local(privKeyBytes, pubKeyBytes) = cipher_generate_key // default 2048 bits
// sign/verify
local(data = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software \
like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."->asBytes)
local(data2 = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

local(digitalSig = cipher_sign(#privKeyBytes, #data))
'\n'
cipher_verify(#pubKeyBytes, #data, #digitalSig)
'\n'
cipher_verify(#pubKeyBytes, #data2, #digitalSig)
Result
true false
