language agnostic - Is there a standard function signature for the digital signature "verify" function? -

is 1 of these (or else) more standard alternatives?

verify(message, signature, publickey) 

vs

verify(signature, message, publickey) 

i go for:

verify(publickey, message, signature) 

and there objective reasoning behind it. first have provide public key (e.g. in init method in case of java, data (e.g. in update method) , verify actual signature. note publickey static; prefer @ start of method.

likewise, signature generation be:

sign(privatekey, message): signature 

as can see, nicely symmetric.

and since asking standard:

rsassa-pss-verify ((n, e), m, s) 

where (n, e) public key. straight out of rfc 3447 describing rsa cryptography specifications.
