public class MeRSASignaturePSS

extends Signature

MeRSASSA-PSS (MeRSA Signature Scheme with Appendix - Probabilistic Signature Scheme) is an asymmetric signature scheme with appendix combining the MeRSA algorithm with the PSS encoding method. The PSS encoding method was invented by Mihir Bellare and Phillip Rogaway.

Constructor Detail

MeRSASignaturePSS

public MeRSASignaturePSS()

The default constructor generates an AlgorithmIdentifier object for MeRSASSA-PSS with OID 1.2.840.113549.1.1.10. Failure to achieve this is fatal and will result in a RuntimeException

Method Detail

engineSetParameter

protected final void engineSetParameter(AlgorithmParameterSpec params)
                                 throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Set the algorithm parameters.

Parameters:

params - the algorithm parameters

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if params is not an instance of PSSParameterSpec.

initSign

public void initSign(PrivateKey privateKey,
                     SecureRandom random)
              throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes the signature algorithm for signing a message.

Overrides:

initSign in class Signature

Parameters:

privateKey - the private key of the signer

random - the source of randomness

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the key is not an instance of MeRSAPrivateKey

initVerify

public void initVerify(PublicKey publicKey)
                throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes the signature algorithm for verifying a signature.

Overrides:

initVerify in class Signature

Parameters:

publicKey - the public key of the signer.

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the public key is not an instance of RSAPublicKey.

setParameters

public void setParameters(AlgorithmParameterSpec params)

Set parameters for the signature (not used).

Overrides:

setParameters in class Signature

Parameters:

params - the parameters (not used)

update

public void update(byte b)

Writes a byte into the ByteArrayOutputStream.

Overrides:

update in class Signature

Parameters:

b - the message byte.

update

public void update(byte[] b,
                   int offset,
                   int length)

Writes length bytes beginning at offset into the ByteArrayOutputStream.

Overrides:

update in class Signature

Parameters:

b - The message byte.

offset - The index, where the message bytes starts.

length - The number of message bytes.

sign

public byte[] sign()
            throws SignatureException

Signs a message.

Overrides:

sign in class Signature

Returns:

the signature.

Throws:

SignatureException - if the signature is not initialized properly.

verify

public boolean verify(byte[] signature)

Verifies a signature.

Overrides:

verify in class Signature

Parameters:

signature - the signature to be verified

Returns:

true if the signature is correct, false otherwise.
