LDicomDS::VerifySignature

#include "ltdic.h"

L_UINT16 LDicomDS::VerifySignature(pSignatureItem, uReserved = 0)

pDICOMELEMENT pSignatureItem;	/* pointer to a Digital Signatures Sequence Item */
L_UINT16 uReserved;	/* reserved */

Verifies Digital Signatures in the Data Set.

Parameter	Description
pSignatureItem	Pointer to a DICOMELEMENT structure that specifies the Digital Signatures Sequence Item which corresponds to the Digital Signature to be verified. To verify all the Digital Signatures in the entire Data Set, set this parameter to NULL.
uReserved	Reserved for future use. This must be set to 0.

Returns

DICOM_SUCCESS	The Digital Signature(s) was/were verified successfully.
DICOM_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATURE	The Digital Signature is invalid or at least one of the Digital Signatures is invalid.
(Otherwise)	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

To verify all the Digital Signatures in the entire Data Set, set the pSignatureItem parameter to NULL. If at least one of these Digital Signatures is invalid, the function returns DICOM_ERROR_INVALID_SIGNATURE and does not examine the remaining Digital Signatures, if there are any.
