Digital Signature Format

The
v-c-signature
header uses this format:
v-c-signature: t=1617830804768;keyId=bf44c857-b182-bb05-e053-34b8d30a7a72;sig=CzHY47nzJgCSD/BREtSIb+9l/vfkaaL4qf9n8MNJ4CY=";
The
v-c-signature
header contains three parts, each separated by a semicolon:
  • t
    is the timestamp at the moment the signature key was created.
  • keyId
    is the value of the
    keyInformation.keyId
    field from the API response to the digital signature key request.
  • sig
    contains the signature, encrypted using HMAC-SHA256. For instructions for generating the signature, see Validating a Notification.
