Module PKCS1_v1_5
RSA digital signature protocol according to PKCS#1 v1.5
See RFC3447 or the original RSA Labs specification.
This scheme is more properly called RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5.
For example, a sender may authenticate a message using SHA-1 like
this:
>>> from Crypto.Signature import PKCS1_v1_5
>>> from Crypto.Hash import SHA
>>> from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
>>>
>>> message = 'To be signed'
>>> key = RSA.importKey(open('privkey.der').read())
>>> h = SHA.new(message)
>>> signer = PKCS1_v1_5.new(key)
>>> signature = signer.sign(h)
At the receiver side, verification can be done using the public part of
the RSA key:
>>> key = RSA.importKey(open('pubkey.der').read())
>>> h = SHA.new(message)
>>> verifier = PKCS1_v1_5.new(key)
>>> if verifier.verify(h, signature):
>>> print "The signature is authentic."
>>> else:
>>> print "The signature is not authentic."

new(key)
Return a signature scheme object PKCS115_SigScheme that
can be used to perform PKCS#1 v1.5 signature or verification. |

Return a signature scheme object PKCS115_SigScheme that
can be used to perform PKCS#1 v1.5 signature or verification.
- Parameters:
key (RSA key object) - The key to use to sign or verify the message. This is a Crypto.PublicKey.RSA object.
Signing is only possible if key is a private RSA key.
