        throws JOSEException

Verifies the specified signature of a JWS object.

Parameters:

header - The JSON Web Signature (JWS) header. Must specify a supported JWS algorithm and must not be null.

signingInput - The signing input. Must not be null.

signature - The signature part of the JWS object. Must not be null.

Returns:

true if the signature was successfully verified, false if the signature is invalid or if a critical header is neither supported nor marked for deferral to the application.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the JWS algorithm is not supported, or if signature verification failed for some other internal reason.
