NAME
  VerifyMac,
  CSSM_VerifyMac,
  CSP_VerifyMac  - Verify the message authentication code (CDSA)

SYNOPSIS
  # include <cssm.h>

   API:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMAPI CSSM_VerifyMac
       (CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_DATA *DataBufs,
       uint32 DataBufCount,
       const CSSM_DATA *Mac)
   SPI:
       CSSM_RETURN CSSMCSPI CSP_VerifyMac
       (CSSM_CSP_HANDLE CSPHandle,
       CSSM_CC_HANDLE CCHandle,
       const CSSM_CONTEXT *Context,
       const CSSM_DATA *DataBufs,
       uint32 DataBufCount,
       const CSSM_DATA *Mac)

LIBRARY
  Common Security Services Manager library (CDSA$INCSSM300_SHR.EXE)

API PARAMETERS
  CCHandle (input)
          The handle that describes the context of this cryptographic
          operation used to link to the CSP-managed information.

  DataBufs (input)
          A pointer to a vector of CSSM_DATA structures that contain
          the data to be operated on.

  DataBufCount (input)
          The number of DataBufs.

  Mac (input)
          A pointer to the CSSM_DATA structure containing the MAC to
          verify.

SPI PARAMETERS
  CSPHandle (input)
          The handle that describes the add-in cryptographic service
          provider module used to perform calls to CSSM for the
          memory functions managed by CSSM.

  Context (input)
          Pointer to CSSM_CONTEXT structure that describes the
          attributes with this context.

DESCRIPTION
  This function verifies the message authentication code over all data
  contained in the set of input buffers based on the input signature.

RETURN VALUE
  A CSSM_RETURN value indicating success or specifying a particular
  error condition. The value CSSM_OK indicates success. All other
  values represent an error condition.

ERRORS
  Errors are described in the CDSA technical standard.  See CDSA.

       CSSMERR_CSP_INPUT_LENGTH_ERROR
       CSSMERR_CSP_VERIFY_FAILED
       CSSMERR_CSP_INVALID_SIGNATURE
