Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description

Method Detail

init

void init(boolean forSigning,
        CipherParameters param)

Initialise the signer for signing or verification.

Parameters:

forSigning - true if for signing, false otherwise

param - necessary parameters.

update

void update(byte b)

update the internal digest with the byte b

update

void update(byte[] in,
          int off,
          int len)

update the internal digest with the byte array in

generateSignature

byte[] generateSignature()
                         throws CryptoException,
                                DataLengthException

generate a signature for the message we've been loaded with using the key we were initialised with.

Throws:

CryptoException

DataLengthException

verifySignature

boolean verifySignature(byte[] signature)

return true if the internal state represents the signature described in the passed in array.

reset

void reset()
