Verifies the given signature for data
using the given key and algorithm. If algorithm
is null
or undefined
, then the algorithm is dependent upon the key type.
algorithm
is required to be null
or undefined
for Ed25519, Ed448, and ML-DSA.
If key
is not a KeyObject
, this function behaves as if key
had been passed to createPublicKey. If it is an object, the following additional properties can be passed:
The signature
argument is the previously calculated signature for the data
.
Because public keys can be derived from private keys, a private key or a public key may be passed for key
.
If the callback
function is provided this function uses libuv's threadpool.
