This method validates the signature.

Declaration

[C#]
    TSBCMSSignatureValidity Validate();
    TSBCMSAdvancedSignatureValidity Validate(TSBCMSValidationOptions Options);
    TSBCMSAdvancedSignatureValidity Validate(TElX509CertificateValidator Validator, TSBCMSValidationOptions Options);

    TSBCMSValidationOptions represents a bit mask which contains zero or more bit flags as defined by TSBCMSValidationOption.

[VB.NET]

Possible SBCMSValidationOption values:

[.NET] [Pascal] Description

1 cvoRecursiveValidation if this flag is enabled, recursive validation is used.

2 cvoValidateChains if this flag is enabled, whole certificate chains will be validated.

4 cvoValidateTimes if this flag is enabled, timestamps will be validated.

8 cvoCheckRevocationStatus if this flag is enabled, revocation information will be checked.

16 cvoRequireTimestamps if this option is enabled, timestamps are required for successfull validation.

32 cvoIgnoreLocalTimestamps if this option is enabled, local timestampts will be ignored.

64 cvoValidateTrusts if this option is enabled, trusts will be validated.

Declared in

Return value

Returns signature validity status.

Description

Use this method to validate the signature.

Note, if the third overload of this method is used, cvoValidateTrusts and cvoCheckRevocationStatus validation options are ignored. The corresponding trust and revocation validation settings should be adjusted via the properties of TElX509CertificateValidator class.
