Constructor Detail

IQDSASignature

protected IQDSASignature(MessageDigest md)

Constructor. Set the message digest.

Parameters:

md - the message digest

Method Detail

initSign

public void initSign(PrivateKey key,
                     SecureRandom prng)
              throws InvalidKeyException

Initializes engine for signing.

Overrides:

initSign in class Signature

Parameters:

key - private key to be used for signing

prng - source of randomness

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the key is not an instance of IQDSAPrivateKey.

See Also:

sign()

initVerify

public void initVerify(PublicKey key)
                throws InvalidKeyException

Initialized engine for verification process

Overrides:

initVerify in class Signature

Parameters:

key - public key to be used for verification

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the key is not an instance of IQDSAPublicKey.

See Also:

verify(byte [])

update

public void update(byte b)

Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified byte.

Overrides:

update in class Signature

Parameters:

b - the byte to be updated.

update

public void update(byte[] b,
                   int off,
                   int len)

Updates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.

Overrides:

update in class Signature

Parameters:

b - the byte array

off - the offset to start from in the array of bytes

len - the number of bytes to use, starting at offset

makeDigest

protected byte[] makeDigest(byte[] m)

Calculates the digest value for a given octet string

Parameters:

m - array containing the data to be hashed

Returns:

the digest value represented as an octet string

sign

public byte[] sign()

Generates an ASN.1 encoded object representing the signature of the data bytes digested by the message digest algorithm thus far.

Overrides:

sign in class Signature

Returns:

signature of the data fed into the engine thus far

verify

public boolean verify(byte[] sigBytes)
               throws SignatureException

Verifies the signature passed in as sigBytes

Overrides:

verify in class Signature

Parameters:

sigBytes - the signature bytes to be verified.

Returns:

true if the signature was verified, false if not.

Throws:

SignatureException - if this signature object is not initialized properly.

setParameters

public void setParameters(AlgorithmParameterSpec params)
                   throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Set the parameters for the signature.

Overrides:

setParameters in class Signature

Parameters:

params - the parameters

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the parameters are not an instance of IQDSAParameterSpec.
