All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtendedSignature

public final class EcdsaWithNoneSignature
extends EcdsaSignature

The ECDSA signature algorithm implemented with no underlying hash function (hashing must be done externally).

This implementation DOES NOT calculate the hash internally. It requires that the message hash be passed in through the update() API. This means that the message hash must be calculated externally. This provides the flexibility of allowing the ECDSA signature algorithm to be used with any underlying hash function.

An instance of this algorithm can be obtained using the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA), by requesting a 'NONEwithECDSA' digital signature from the Entrust cryptographic service provider. This can be done using the following call:

Signature.getInstance("NONEwithECDSA", "Entrust");

Constructor Detail

EcdsaWithNoneSignature

public EcdsaWithNoneSignature()

The constructor; creates a new instance of the NONEwithECDSA digital signature algorithm.

Applications should not use this constructor, instead the signature algorithm should be requested from the appropriate JCA/JCE cryptographic service provider as follows: Signature.getInstance("NONEwithECDSA", "Entrust").

FIPS 140-2:

FIPS Service: Modify Object

This API is part of the logical interface to the Toolkit's FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module; use of this API causes the caller to assume the FIPS 140-2 user role and accesses the following FIPS 140-2 logical interfaces:

• control input interface (API call)
• status output interface (exceptions)
