PGP Verify

UiPath.Cryptography.Activities.PgpVerify

Description

Verifies a PGP signature, a clearsignature, or the structural validity of a public key file. The Verification Type property selects which check is performed and which inputs are required.

This activity does not throw an error on a verification mismatch. Instead, it returns False in the Result output. A False result means that verification failed because of a wrong key, a tampered payload, or a malformed file.

Windows, Cross-platform configuration

• Verification Type - The check to perform. The following options are available:
  • Signed File (Binary) (default) - Verifies a binary-signed file produced by the PGP Sign File activity. Requires Signed File Path and Public Key File Path.
  • ClearSigned File (Text) - Verifies a clear-text signed file produced by the PGP ClearSign File activity. Requires Signed File Path and Public Key File Path.
  • Validate Public Key - Validates that a file is a well-formed public key. Requires Public Key File Path only; Signed File Path is ignored and its field is hidden.
• Signed File Path - The path to the signed file to verify. Required for the Signed File (Binary) and ClearSigned File (Text) types; ignored for Validate Public Key. This field supports only strings and String variables. To use a project resource instead of a path, select the field's input menu and switch to the Signed File input (an IResource).
• Public Key File Path - The path to the signer's PGP public key file. For Validate Public Key, this is the key being validated. This field supports only strings and String variables. To use a project resource instead of a path, select the field's input menu and switch to the Public Key File input (an IResource).

Advanced options

Options

• Continue On Error - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
  Note:

  If this activity is included in Try Catch and the value of the Continue On Error property is True, no error is caught when the project is executed.

Output

• Result - The verification outcome, stored in a Boolean variable for use in other activities. The value is True if verification succeeded, and False otherwise.
