Selamlar Älter,

Actually it is

descriptor ---> digest function
           Â|
           Âv
private key ---> ÂRSA engine ----> signature

signature
 Â|
 Âv
RSA engine Â---> recovered digest Â?=? Âdigest function <--- descriptor
 Â^
 Â|
public key (signing-key)

To demonstrate, in Java you might do something like:
