Plaform dependencies

• NodeJs >= v10.15

Files and directories

• ./keys - Directory contains sample public and private key.You MUST generate your own key for real usage.Refer keys/README.md for how to generate your own keys
• signature.txt - sign.js will write generated signature on this file.It will be overritten each time you run sign.js
• sample-doc.txt - This is a sample document to be signed.You can use any document type for this.Just change the document path of sign.js and verify.js files accordingly.
• sign.js - Code script to generate digital signature
• verify.js - Code script to verify generated gidital signature

Usage

Generate the signature by using keys/privateKey.pem for the document sample-doc.txt

node sign.js

Verify the signature generated from above step(stored in signature.txt)

node verify.js

Generating QR Code for signature.txt

Javascript library qrcode has been used to generate the qr code.

// Install library dependancy
yarn install
node QRcode.js

QR code will be saved in qr.html file.Open this file from a web brower to see the QR code.
