Implementations of this abstract class verify digital signatures
created by the AsymmetricSignatureFormatter class.
The VerifySignature( ) method uses an asymmetric
public key to verify a digital signature, expressed as a
System.Byte array. The public key value is set by
the SetKey( ) method, which accepts an instance of
the AsymmetricAlgorithm class configured with the
key parameters. The SetHashAlgorithm( ) method
sets the name of the hash algorithm used to create the digital
signature; this value is used in the verification process.
The .NET Framework class library includes the
DSASignatureDeformatter and
RSAPKCS1SignatureDeformatter classes, which verify
digital signatures created with the
DSASignatureFormatter and
RSAPKCS1SignatureFormatter classes.
