PHP 8.4.1 Released!

openssl_verify

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

openssl_verifyVérifie une signature

Description

openssl_verify(
    string $data,
    string $signature,
    OpenSSLAsymmetricKey|OpenSSLCertificate|array|string $public_key,
    string|int $algorithm = OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1
): int|false

openssl_verify() vérifie que la signature signature est correcte pour les données data, et avec la clé publique public_key. Cette clé doit être la clé publique correspondant à la clé privée utilisée lors de la signature.

Liste de paramètres

data

La chaîne de données utilisé pour générer la signature

signature

Une chaîne brute binaire, générée par la fonction openssl_sign() ou signification similaire

public_key

OpenSSLAsymmetricKey - une clé, retourné par la fonction openssl_get_publickey()

string - une clé au format PEM, par exemple : -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MIIBCgK....

algorithm

int - une des signatures d'algorithmes.

string - une chaîne valide retournée par la fonction openssl_get_md_methods(), par exemple : "sha1WithRSAEncryption" ou "sha512". Algorithme par défaut: "OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA1".

Valeurs de retour

Retourne 1 si la signature est correcte, 0 si elle est incorrecte et -1 ou false si une erreur survient.

Historique

Version Description
8.0.0 public_key accepte désormais une instance de OpenSSLAsymmetricKey ou OpenSSLCertificate ; auparavant, une ressource de type OpenSSL key ou OpenSSL X.509 était acceptée.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec openssl_verify()

<?php
// On suppose que $data et $signature contiennent les données à signer et
// la signature.

// Lecture de la clé publique depuis le certificat
$pubkeyid = openssl_pkey_get_public("file://src/openssl-0.9.6/demos/sign/cert.pem");

// indique si la signature est correcte
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $pubkeyid);
if (
$ok == 1) {
echo
"Signature valide";
} elseif (
$ok == 0) {
echo
"Signature erronée";
} else {
echo
"Erreur de vérification de la signature";
}
// libère les clés de la mémoire
openssl_free_key($pubkeyid);
?>

Exemple #2 Exemple avec openssl_verify()

<?php
//Données que vous souhaitez signer
$data = 'my data';

//Crée une nouvelle clé privée et publique
$private_key_res = openssl_pkey_new(array(
"private_key_bits" => 2048,
"private_key_type" => OPENSSL_KEYTYPE_RSA,
));
$details = openssl_pkey_get_details($private_key_res);
$public_key_res = openssl_pkey_get_public($details['key']);

//Crée une signature
openssl_sign($data, $signature, $private_key_res, "sha256WithRSAEncryption");

//Vérifie la signature
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $public_key_res, OPENSSL_ALGO_SHA256);
if (
$ok == 1) {
echo
"valid";
} elseif (
$ok == 0) {
echo
"invalide";
} else {
echo
"erreur : ".openssl_error_string();
}
?>

I've finally found a way to verify signature. Sample in the documentation doesn't work. Code bellow DOES work :)

<?php
// $data is assumed to contain the data to be signed

// fetch certificate from file and ready it
$fp = fopen("path/file.pem", "r");
$cert = fread($fp, 8192);
fclose($fp);

// state whether signature is okay or not
// use the certificate, not the public key
$ok = openssl_verify($data, $signature, $cert);
if (
$ok == 1) {
echo
"good";
} elseif (
$ok == 0) {
echo
"bad";
} else {
echo
"ugly, error checking signature";
}
?>

I spent days scouring the php openssl documentation trying to figure out how to do what sounds like a simple task - given two PEM encoded certificates, is one the signer of the other? Nowhere in the openssl_verify() documentation or comments is it explained where to obtain the signature of an existing certificate. The openssl_x509_parse() function looked promising, but it is an unstable API that may change.

I had to write my own code to determine if one cert signed another, it is located here: http://badpenguins.com/source/misc/isCertSigner.php?viewSource

In a nutshell here is what I learned...

The signature data in a signed X.509 certificate contains DER formatted data about the signature that is encrypted with the signers public key. The data contains a hash of the original subject certificate and information about what encryption algorithm was used to create the signature.

So you need to get this signature data and a copy of the original certificate with the issuer and signature sequences removed. Hash a copy of the original certificate (sans issuer/signature sequences) with the same algorithm the issuer used and if the hashes match, you have the issuer cert that signed the certificate.

Anbybody trying to get a Win32 CryptoAPI based digital signature component to work with the openssl_verify() function should be aware that the CryptoAPI PKCS1 (RSA) method uses bytes in reverse order while the openssl_verify() method expects a correctly formatted PKCS1 digital signature (as should be). I learned this the hard way and it took me some time to dig this out. A simple solution in VBScript to reverse the byte order:

N = Len(Blob.Hex)

' reverse bytes in the signature using Hex format
For i = 1 To N - 1 Step 2
s = Mid(Blob, i, 2) & s
Next

s contains the digital signature in reverse order. Blob is an arbitrary binary container.

Send the signature off in Hex format and use a hex2bin method in PHP to convert to the correct format for openssl_verify(), i.e.

function hex2bin($data) {

$len = strlen($data);
return pack("H" . $len, $data);

}

That's it, hope it helps out. BTW I used ASPEncrypt to toy around with on Win32 platform. Works only with Internet Explorer but you could also use a Java applet and have none of the abovementioned problems :-)

openssl_verify() is populating openssl_error_string() even on false.

When openssl_verify() returns 0, openssl_error_string() is populated with 1.
I spent lot of time to understand, while my next call to openssl was failing with checks for error.

<?php
$c
= file_get_contents($filename);
$publicKey = openssl_pkey_get_public($c);
$result = openssl_verify('freedom', 'someirrelevantnosign', $publicKey);

$error = "";

while (
$msg = openssl_error_string() !== false) {
$error .= $msg;
}

if (!empty(
$error)) {
echo
$error; // 1
}

A note about the openssl_verify() (and some of the other functions). The public key comes from a certificate in any of the support formats (as the example shows, use openssl_get_publickey() to get the resource id). But after some trial and error I found the signature string MUST BE BINARY. While no error occurs, passing a base64-formatted signature string (PEM format?), you simply get a mismatch. When I did the base64 decode myself, the verify returned a match (return value 1). You can simply drop the begin/end lines and take the output of the 'base64_decode()' function.

As stated from the doc: "Returns 1 if the signature is correct, 0 if it is incorrect, and -1 or false on error. "

In the second example as a well as in Stiv's note, following condition will match for both 0 or false, which have different meaning:
elseif ($ok == 0) {
echo "bad";
}

On should do an identical test here (===) instead of an equal test (==):
elseif ($ok === 0) {
echo "bad";
}
---
var_dump(0==false); //==> true
var_dump(0===false);//==> false

You can actually use the public key as third parameter and not the certificate.

If you can't make it work, make sure that :

1) Your public key is well formatted. It seems that it must have the ----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY---- and ----END PUBLIC KEY----

2) Your signature is in binary format. You can use the php base64_decode for this.
