If you have a public key, a message, and a signature, you can -check that the public key genuinely was used to sign that specific message. You -also need to know which signing algorithm was used: +sign something. If you have a public key, a message, a signature, and the +signing algorithm that was used you can check that the private key associated +with a given public key was used to sign that specific message.
