Webhook signature verification

Verifying webhook signatures is essential for production environments to ensure the authenticity of webhook notifications and prevent fraudulent requests.

The signature must be verified to confirm the webhook originates from Cashfree. You’ll need your Cashfree Payment Gateway secret key and the raw payload.

The timestamp is in the header x-webhook-timestamp
The signature is in the header x-webhook-signature

Verification process:

Concatenate the timestamp and raw request body: timestamp + rawBody
Generate HMAC-SHA256 hash using your secret key
Base64-encode the hash
Compare with the x-webhook-signature header value

Node.js
Python

function verifyWebhookSignature(timestamp, rawBody, signature, secretKey) {
    const signatureString = timestamp + rawBody;
    const computedSignature = crypto
        .createHmac('sha256', secretKey)
        .update(signatureString)
        .digest('base64');
    
    return computedSignature === signature;
}

import hmac
import hashlib
import base64

def verify_webhook_signature(timestamp, raw_body, signature, secret_key):
    signature_string = timestamp + raw_body
    computed_signature = base64.b64encode(
        hmac.new(
            secret_key.encode(), 
            signature_string.encode(), 
            hashlib.sha256
        ).digest()
    ).decode()
    
    return computed_signature == signature
