Signature
This class defines the
Service Provider Interface(
SPI) for the
Signature
class, which is used to provide the functionality of a digital signature algorithm. Digital signatures are used for authentication and integrity assurance of digital data.
All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a particular signature algorithm.
Fields
Application-specified source of randomness.
Constructors
Constructor for subclasses to call.
Returns a clone if the implementation is cloneable.
Returns the parameters used with this Signature
object.
protected abstract void

object with the specified private key for signing operations.
protected void
Initializes this Signature
object with the specified private key and source of randomness for signing operations.

object with the specified parameter values.
protected abstract byte[]
Returns the signature bytes of all the data updated so far.
protected int
Finishes this signature operation and stores the resulting signature bytes in the provided buffer outbuf
, starting at offset
.
protected abstract void
Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified byte.
protected abstract void
Updates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
protected void
Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified ByteBuffer.
protected abstract boolean
Verifies the passed-in signature.
protected boolean
Verifies the passed-in signature in the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
Application-specified source of randomness.
public SignatureSpi()
Constructor for subclasses to call.
Initializes this Signature
object with the specified public key for verification operations.
publicKey
- the public key of the identity whose signature is going to be verified.
InvalidKeyException
- if the key is improperly encoded, parameters are missing, and so on.
Initializes this Signature
object with the specified private key for signing operations.
privateKey
- the private key of the identity whose signature will be generated.
InvalidKeyException
- if the key is improperly encoded, parameters are missing, and so on.
Initializes this
Signature
object with the specified private key and source of randomness for signing operations.
This concrete method has been added to this previously-defined abstract class. (For backwards compatibility, it cannot be abstract.)
privateKey
- the private key of the identity whose signature will be generated.
random
- the source of randomness
InvalidKeyException
- if the key is improperly encoded, parameters are missing, and so on.
Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified byte.
b
- the byte to use for the update.
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly.
throws
SignatureExceptionUpdates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
b
- the array of bytes
off
- the offset to start from in the array of bytes
len
- the number of bytes to use, starting at offset
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly
Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified ByteBuffer. Processes the data.remaining()
bytes starting at data.position()
. Upon return, the buffer's position will be equal to its limit; its limit will not have changed.
input
- the ByteBuffer
Returns the signature bytes of all the data updated so far. The format of the signature depends on the underlying signature scheme.
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly or if this signature algorithm is unable to process the input data provided.
Finishes this signature operation and stores the resulting signature bytes in the provided buffer
outbuf
, starting at
offset
. The format of the signature depends on the underlying signature scheme.
The signature implementation is reset to its initial state (the state it was in after a call to one of the engineInitSign
methods) and can be reused to generate further signatures with the same private key. This method should be abstract, but we leave it concrete for binary compatibility. Knowledgeable providers should override this method.
outbuf
- buffer for the signature result.
offset
- offset into outbuf
where the signature is stored.
len
- number of bytes within outbuf
allotted for the signature. Both this default implementation and the SUN provider do not return partial digests. If the value of this parameter is less than the actual signature length, this method will throw a SignatureException
. This parameter is ignored if its value is greater than or equal to the actual signature length.
outbuf
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly, if this signature algorithm is unable to process the input data provided, or if len
is less than the actual signature length.
Verifies the passed-in signature.
sigBytes
- the signature bytes to be verified.
true
if the signature was verified, false
if not.
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly, the passed-in signature is improperly encoded or of the wrong type, if this signature algorithm is unable to process the input data provided, etc.
throws
SignatureExceptionNote: Subclasses should overwrite the default implementation.
sigBytes
- the signature bytes to be verified.
offset
- the offset to start from in the array of bytes.
length
- the number of bytes to use, starting at offset.
true
if the signature was verified, false
if not.
SignatureException
- if the engine is not initialized properly, the passed-in signature is improperly encoded or of the wrong type, if this signature algorithm is unable to process the input data provided, etc.
Sets the specified algorithm parameter to the specified value. This method supplies a general-purpose mechanism through which it is possible to set the various parameters of this object. A parameter may be any settable parameter for the algorithm, such as a parameter size, or a source of random bits for signature generation (if appropriate), or an indication of whether to perform a specific but optional computation. A uniform algorithm-specific naming scheme for each parameter is desirable but left unspecified at this time.
param
- the string identifier of the parameter.
value
- the parameter value.
InvalidParameterException
- if param
is an invalid parameter for this Signature
object, the parameter is already set and cannot be set again, a security exception occurs, and so on.
Initializes this Signature
object with the specified parameter values.
params
- the parameters
UnsupportedOperationException
- if this method is not overridden by a provider
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
- if this method is overridden by a provider and the given parameters are inappropriate for this Signature
object
Returns the parameters used with this
Signature
object.
The returned parameters may be the same that were used to initialize this Signature
object, or may contain additional default or random parameter values used by the underlying signature scheme. If the required parameters were not supplied and can be generated by the Signature
object, the generated parameters are returned; otherwise null
is returned.
However, if the signature scheme does not support returning the parameters as AlgorithmParameters
, null
is always returned.
Signature
object, or null
UnsupportedOperationException
- if this method is not overridden by a provider
Deprecated.
Gets the value of the specified algorithm parameter. This method supplies a general-purpose mechanism through which it is possible to get the various parameters of this object. A parameter may be any settable parameter for the algorithm, such as a parameter size, or a source of random bits for signature generation (if appropriate), or an indication of whether to perform a specific but optional computation. A uniform algorithm-specific naming scheme for each parameter is desirable but left unspecified at this time.
param
- the string name of the parameter.
null
if there is none.
InvalidParameterException
- if param
is an invalid parameter for this engine, or another exception occurs while trying to get this parameter.
Returns a clone if the implementation is cloneable.
clone
in class Object
CloneNotSupportedException
- if this is called on an implementation that does not support Cloneable
.
