Consistently receiving 'cannot verify signature'

Start with the failing testUnseal example and the verify, verifyECV2, and unsealECV2 entry points in PaymentMethodTokenRecipient.java. Compare the ECv2 setup, recipient ID, keys, and test payload against the linked Google Pay cryptography documentation. Done means the failure is reproducible with complete test inputs and signature verification succeeds or its configuration cause is documented.

We are doing the steps mentioned in this document but consistently receiving error for signature verification. Please advise.

Error: 'cannot verify signature'

What was the expected behavior?

Expectation is the encrypted payload signature should be verified and able to unseal using the private key.
However, it fails during signature verification.

How can we reproduce the bug?

https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/resources/payment-data-cryptography#example

You will need to generate an encrypted message using the merchant id.

Sample request

{
  "apiVersion": 2,
  "apiVersionMinor": 0,
  "allowedPaymentMethods": [
    {
      "type": "CARD",
      "parameters": {
        "allowedAuthMethods": ["PAN_ONLY", "CRYPTOGRAM_3DS"],
        "allowedCardNetworks": ["VISA", "MASTERCARD"]
      },
      "tokenizationSpecification": {
        "type": "PAYMENT_GATEWAY",
        "parameters": {
          "gateway": "we-are-using-gateway-name",
          "gatewayMerchantId": "test"
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "merchantInfo": {
    "merchantId": "test",
    "merchantName": "Example Merchant"
  },
  "transactionInfo": {
    "totalPriceStatus": "ESTIMATED",
    "totalPrice": 10,
    "currencyCode": "AUD"
  }
}

Unit test

@Test
  public void testUnseal() throws Exception {
    
    // created using Google Pay API via GPAY button in JS
    // The value for "tokenizationData.token" is similar to the value in following example
    // https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/guides/resources/payment-data-cryptography#example
    String encryptedMessage = "..."; 

    PaymentMethodTokenRecipient recipient =
        new PaymentMethodTokenRecipient.Builder()
            .protocolVersion("ECv2")
            .fetchSenderVerifyingKeysWith(GooglePaymentsPublicKeysManager.INSTANCE_TEST)
            .recipientId("test") // encryptedMessage created using this merchant id
            .addRecipientPrivateKey(googlePayPrivateKey)
            .build();

    String decryptedMessage = recipient.unseal(encryptedMessage); // Fails here

    log.info("Decrypted Message: {}", decryptedMessage);
  }

Do you have any debugging information?

Can you tell us more about your development environment?

JDK 21
Springboot 3.2.2
Gradle wrapper 8.6

Private keys stored in AWS secrets manager which are fetched using spring.config.import

The root public key auto refresh instance is being evaluated in spring configuration during application bootup

@Configuration

  @Bean
  public GooglePaymentsPublicKeysManager googlePaymentsPublicKeysManager(@Value("${spring.profiles.active}") String activeProfile) {
    log.info("Initializing GooglePaymentsPublicKeysManager based on profile: '{}'", activeProfile);

    return Optional.ofNullable(activeProfile)

                     return GooglePaymentsPublicKeysManager.INSTANCE_TEST;
                   });
  }
}

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

A bit stuck at the moment as we are following the steps mentioned on the document.
