<p>The Verify Signature (OPM, QC3VFYSG; ILE, Qc3VerifySignature) API
verifies a digital signature is correctly related to the input data.
If the verification fails with a CPF9DEF, the input data has been corrupted.
A digital signature is created by hashing data and encrypting the hash value
using a public key algorithm (PKA). A digital signature can be created using
the <a href = "qc3calsg.htm">Calculate Signature
(OPM, QC3CALSG; ILE, Qc3CalculateSignature) API</a>.</p>
<p>Information on cryptographic standards can be found in the <a href=
"qc3crtax.htm">Create Algorithm Context (OPM, QC3CRTAX; ILE,
Qc3CreateAlgorithmContext)</a> API documentation.</p>
