CL_CertVerifyWithKey(3)
NAME
  CL_CertVerifyWithKey, CSSM_CL_CertVerifyWithKey - Verify with a key (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cdsa/cssm.h>

  API:

       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_CL_CertVerifyWithKey
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *CertToBeVerified)

  SPI:

       CSSM_RETURN CSSMCLI CL_CertVerifyWithKey
       (CSSM_CL_HANDLE CLHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *CertToBeVerified)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (libcssm.so)

PARAMETERS
  CLHandle (input)
	  The handle that describes the certificate library service module
	  used to perform this function.

  CCHandle (input)
	  A signature verification context defining the CSP, verification
	  algorithm, and public key that must be used to perform the
	  operation.

  CertToBeVerified (input)
	  A signed certificate whose signature is to be verified.

DESCRIPTION
  This function verifies that the CertToBeVerified parameter was signed using
  a specific private key and that the certificate has not been altered since
  it was signed using that private key. The public key corresponding to the
  private signing key is used in the verification process.

  The CCHandle, must be a signature verification context created using the
  function CSSM_CSP_CreateSignatureContext() (CSSM API), or
  CSP_CreateSignatureContext() (SPI). The context must specify the
  Cryptographic Services Provider (CSP) module, the verification algorithm,
  and the public verification key that must be used to perform this
  operation.

RETURN VALUE
  A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular error
  condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other values represent
  an error condition.

ERRORS
  Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.	See CDSA_intro(3).

       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CONTEXT_HANDLE
       CSSMERR_CL_INVALID_CERT_POINTER
       CSSMERR_CL_UNKNOWN_FORMAT
       CSSMERR_CL_VERIFICATION_FAILURE
