Google/Tink: How use public key to verify signature











up vote

We want to use the Tink library in our project to be able to verify some incoming signatures given a public key.



What we have are the following:




  1. The public key as a string

  2. The signature itself

  3. The plaintext


After going through Tink's documentation, we cannot figure out how to load the public key string so that it can be used by PublicKeyVerifyFactory.



Has anybody done anything similar? Have you found any examples online that could point us to the right direction?

  • have you tried storing the public key in the export JSON format and trying to load it using CleartextKeysetHandle.read?

  • There is not a single public key format, so to answer the question fully it is required to publish the public key.
