Class Verification
Namespace: Keychain
Assemblies: libkeychain.dll
Inheritance: Object → Verification
Definition
A Verification object contains result of a Gateway’s attempt to verify one of the signatures on signed data. The Gateway verify methods return an array of Verification objects, one for each signature in the data. The Verification object provides information on whether the signature was cryptographically valid, whether the identity of the signature’s owner is known as a contact, and other attributes.
Applications should use the information provided to implement logic about whether to accept the data and how to handle errors.
Constructors
The Verification object should not be instantiated directly by the developer, as it is instantiated and returned by Gateway cryptographic verification methods.
Method Summary

Methods
isVerified() Method
public bool isVerified();Determines whether data’s signature was cryptographically verified with the public key specified in a signed data structure.
signerIsKnown() Method
public bool signerIsKnown();Determines whether data’s signature public key is contained in a locally stored keychain of either either an internal persona or a previously paired contact.
getFacade() Method
public Facade getFacade();Get the Facade that is associated internally with the data’s public key. The data’s public key (or a reference to it) is included in the signed data string.
