Constructor Detail

SignatureAlgorithmImplECDSA

public SignatureAlgorithmImplECDSA()

Standard constructor. Sets the default value for the algorithm URI to http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#ecdsa-sha256.

SignatureAlgorithmImplECDSA

public SignatureAlgorithmImplECDSA(java.lang.String URI,
                           java.lang.String EcDsaAlg)

Constructor that allows specific ECDSA algorithms to be defined. The specified URI must be the appropriate type of URI for the EcDsaAlg defined. For example,

For example, the default constructor uses ECDSA-SHA256

 
 URI:        http://www.w3.org/2001/04/xmldsig-more#ecdsa-sha256
 JCE AlgID:  SHA/ECDSA
 

Note: This constructor does not take any parameters, so only ECDSA based algorithms that do not require parameters may be used

Parameters:

URI - The URI to use for the specified signature algorithm

EcDsaAlg - The ECDSA JCA/JCE algorithm String which identifies the algorithm to use

Method Detail

toElement

public org.w3c.dom.Element toElement(org.w3c.dom.Document signatureDOMDoc)
                              throws AlgorithmException

Returns the DOM element representation of the algorithm.

Specified by:

toElement in class Algorithm

Parameters:

signatureDOMDoc - The DOM document which should be used to create necessary DOM nodes. Must not be null.

Returns:

the DOM element representation of the algorithm.

Throws:

AlgorithmException - if no identifying URI has been specified for this algorithm.

sign

public java.io.InputStream sign()
                         throws AlgorithmException

Computes the signature value for the input previously provided by means of method SignatureAlgorithm.setInput(java.io.InputStream).

Specified by:

sign in class SignatureAlgorithm

Returns:

the signature value for the input specified with method SignatureAlgorithm.setInput(java.io.InputStream). This value will NOT be base64 encoded.

Throws:

AlgorithmException - if the signer key or the input data have not been set, or if computing the signature value fails for any reason.

verify

public boolean verify(java.io.InputStream signature)
               throws AlgorithmException

Verifies the specified signature for the input data previously set with method SignatureAlgorithm.setInput(java.io.InputStream).

Specified by:

verify in class SignatureAlgorithm

Parameters:

signature - The bytes representing the signature to be verified. Must not be null.

Returns:

true, if the signature is valid, false otherwise.

Throws:

AlgorithmException - if the verifier key or the input data have not been set, or if verifying the signature fails for any reason.

setSignerKey

public void setSignerKey(java.security.interfaces.ECPrivateKey signerKey)

Sets the private key, which is used to compute the signature for the algorithm's input.

Parameters:

signerKey - The private key for computing the signature. Must not be null.

setVerifierKey

public void setVerifierKey(java.security.Key verifierKey)
                    throws AlgorithmException

Sets the public key, which is used to verify the signature for the algorithm's input.

Specified by:

setVerifierKey in class SignatureAlgorithm

Parameters:

verifierKey - The public key for verifying the signature. Must be an instance of ECPublicKey and must not be null.

Throws:

AlgorithmException - if the specified key is not an instance of ECPublicKey.

verifierKeyUnknown

public boolean verifierKeyUnknown()

Gets the information, if this signature algorithm knows about the verification key. This depends on Whether the key has already been set explicitly with method setVerifierKey(java.security.Key) or not.

Specified by:

verifierKeyUnknown in class SignatureAlgorithm

Returns:

true, if this signature algorithm does not know about the verification key.
