The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to validate digital signature using .NET 2.0

Asked by re-aktiv in WebApplications, Microsoft Visual C#.Net, .NET Framework 2.x

Tags: ,

I'm creating web application using .NET Framework 2.0. One of the requirements is that the data entered by user should be signed using certificate issued by CA, before is submitted for further processing. Certificate is chosen by the user from Certificate Store. For that purpose I use JavaScript and CAPICOM to sign the data. Everything is OK on that part. Data is signed and submitted to the server. On the server side I need to first validate the user certificate and then validate signature.
1. Using X509Chain I'm unable to validate certificate. ChainStatus return following statuses
PartialChain: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority.
RevocationStatusUnknown: The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate.
OfflineRevocation: The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline.
2. How to validate digiatal signature using System.Security.Cryptography classes. I tried using RSACryptoServiceProvider. Code sample is bellow.

Does enyone know where is my error, and what am I doing wrong?
Can someone give me URLs with this topic?

1)
X509Certificate2 aCertificate = new X509Certificate2(UnicodeEncoding.Unicode.GetBytes(Signature)); 
X509Chain chain = new X509Chain();
chain.ChainPolicy.RevocationFlag = X509RevocationFlag.EntireChain;
chain.ChainPolicy.RevocationMode = X509RevocationMode.Online;
chain.ChainPolicy.UrlRetrievalTimeout = new TimeSpan(0, 1, 0);
chain.ChainPolicy.VerificationFlags = X509VerificationFlags.NoFlag;
bool chainIsValid = chain.Build(aCertificate);
 
2)
byte[] data = Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(Data); //original data
SHA1 sha = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] hash = sha.ComputeHash(data);
RSACryptoServiceProvider RSAP = (RSACryptoServiceProvider)aCert.PublicKey.Key; 
//aCert is X509Certificate2 from code above
RSAPKCS1SignatureDeformatter RSADeformatter = new RSAPKCS1SignatureDeformatter(RSAP);
RSADeformatter.SetHashAlgorithm("SHA1");
if (RSADeformatter.VerifySignature(hash, sig))
{
    return true;
}
else
{
    return false;
