Interface OutputValidator<T extends Parameters>

Type Parameters:

T - the parameters type for the verifier.

All Known Subinterfaces:

OutputValidatorWithMessageRecovery<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

FipsOutputValidator

public interface OutputValidator<T extends Parameters>

Base interface for an output validator which can be used to verify a data stream.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
T	getParameters() Return the parameters for this output verifier.
UpdateOutputStream	getValidatingStream() Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of verifying a previously calculated signature.
boolean	isValidated() Return true if the data written to the validating stream validates against the underlying implementation.

Method Detail

getParameters

T getParameters()

Return the parameters for this output verifier.

Returns:

the verifier's parameters.

getValidatingStream

UpdateOutputStream getValidatingStream()

Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of verifying a previously calculated signature. Use org.bouncycastle.util.io.TeeOutputStream if you want to accumulate the data on the fly as well.

Returns:

an UpdateOutputStream

isValidated

boolean isValidated()

Return true if the data written to the validating stream validates against the underlying implementation.

Returns:

true if the data validates, false otherwise.
