boolean verify(JWSHeader header,

               Base64URL signature)
        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.
