Constructor Summary

ECDSASigner()

Method Summary

BigInteger[]	generateSignature(byte[] message) generate a signature for the given message using the key we were initialised with.
void	init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters param) initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.
boolean	verifySignature(byte[] message, BigInteger r, BigInteger s) return true if the value r and s represent a DSA signature for the passed in message (for standard DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the real message to be verified).

public ECDSASigner()

Method Detail

init

public void init(boolean forSigning,
                 CipherParameters param)

Description copied from interface: DSA

initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.

Specified by:

init in interface DSA

Parameters:

forSigning - true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.

param - key parameters for signature generation.

generateSignature

public BigInteger[] generateSignature(byte[] message)

generate a signature for the given message using the key we were initialised with. For conventional DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the message of interest.

Specified by:

generateSignature in interface DSA

Parameters:

message - the message that will be verified later.

Returns:

two big integers representing the r and s values respectively.

verifySignature

public boolean verifySignature(byte[] message,
                               BigInteger r,
                               BigInteger s)

return true if the value r and s represent a DSA signature for the passed in message (for standard DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the real message to be verified).

Specified by:

verifySignature in interface DSA

Parameters:

message - the message that was supposed to have been signed.

r - the r signature value.

s - the s signature value.
