Answer 1

where do I get the signature from ?

Have a look at official docs,

It says that inside your onActivityResult() method you can get following data as shown in example,

    @Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) { 
   if (requestCode == 1001) {           
      int responseCode = data.getIntExtra("RESPONSE_CODE", 0);
      String purchaseData = data.getStringExtra("INAPP_PURCHASE_DATA");
      String dataSignature = data.getStringExtra("INAPP_DATA_SIGNATURE");//this is the signature which you want

      if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
         try {
            JSONObject jo = new JSONObject(purchaseData);//this is the JSONObject which you have included in Your Question right now
            String sku = jo.getString("productId");
            String purchaseToken = jo.getString("purchaseToken");
           //you need to send sku and purchaseToken to server for verification
          }
          catch (JSONException e) {
             alert("Failed to parse purchase data.");
             e.printStackTrace();
          }
      }
   }
}

For verification on server end, Have a look at official docs

As mentioned earlier, client app will send sku and purchaseToken to server API. Server will have to receive those values and will have to perform check with android publish api to verify purchase:

Server may call following GET request by adding necessary parameters:

https://www.googleapis.com/androidpublisher/v2/applications/packageName/purchases/products/productId/tokens/token

here,
packageName = packageName of the client app
productId = sku received from client app
token = purchaseToken received from client app

It will result into a JSONObject response as mentioned format:

{
  "kind": "androidpublisher#productPurchase",
  "purchaseTimeMillis": long,
  "purchaseState": integer,
  "consumptionState": integer,
  "developerPayload": string,
  "orderId": string,
  "purchaseType": integer
}

here, purchaseState = 0 means valid purchase

I hope it will be helpful !!
