public class WinternitzOTSVerify

extends java.lang.Object

This class implements signature verification of the Winternitz one-time signature scheme (OTSS), described in C.Dods, N.P. Smart, and M. Stam, "Hash Based Digital Signature Schemes", LNCS 3796, pages 96–115, 2005. The class is used by the GMSS classes.

Constructor Detail

WinternitzOTSVerify

public WinternitzOTSVerify(java.lang.String[] algNames,
                           int w)

The constructor

Parameters:

algNames - the name of the hash function used by the OTS and the provider name of the hash function

w - the Winternitz parameter

Method Detail

getSignatureLength

public int getSignatureLength()

Returns:

The length of the one-time signature

Verify

public byte[] Verify(byte[] message,
                     byte[] signature)
              throws SignatureException

This method computes the public OTS key from the one-time signature of a message. This is *NOT* a complete OTS signature verification, but it suffices for usage with CMSS.

Parameters:

message - the message

signature - the one-time signature

Returns:

The public OTS key

Throws:

SignatureException -

getLog

public int getLog(int intValue)

This method returns the least integer that is greater or equal to the logarithm to the base 2 of an integer intValue.

Parameters:

intValue - an integer

Returns:

The least integer greater or equal to the logarithm to the base 256 of intValue
