Constructor Summary
ECDSASigner()
           
 
Method Summary
 java.math.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, java.math.BigInteger r, java.math.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).

Constructor Detail

ECDSASigner

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
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.DSA
Parameters:
forSigning - true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.
param - key parameters for signature generation.

generateSignature

public java.math.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.

verifySignature

public boolean verifySignature(byte[] message,
                               java.math.BigInteger r,
                               java.math.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
Following copied from interface: org.bouncycastle.crypto.DSA
Parameters:
message - the message that was supposed to have been signed.
r - the r signature value.
s - the s signature value.
