# Verify Signature Module
|
|
A module that provides a `TransactionExtension` that validates a signature against a payload and
|
|
authorizes the origin.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This module serves two purposes:
|
|
- `VerifySignature`: A `TransactionExtension` that checks the provided signature against a payload
|
|
constructed through hashing the inherited implication with `blake2b_256`. If the signature is
|
|
valid, then the extension authorizes the origin as signed. The extension can be disabled, or
|
|
passthrough, allowing users to use other extensions to authorize different origins other than the
|
|
traditionally signed origin.
|
|
- Benchmarking: The extension is bound within a pallet to leverage the benchmarking functionality in
|
|
FRAME. The `Signature` and `Signer` types are specified in the pallet configuration and a
|
|
benchmark helper trait is used to create a signature which is then validated in the benchmark.
