Interface MTCCosignerVerifierProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

BcMTCCosignerVerifierProvider, JcaMTCCosignerVerifierProvider

public interface MTCCosignerVerifierProvider

Looks up an MTCCosignerVerifier for a given cosigner trust anchor ID.

Provider implementations encapsulate the relying party's table of trusted cosigner public keys and the dispatch from a cosigner identifier to the lightweight or JCA-side signature primitive that verifies that cosigner's signatures. Section 7.2 of draft-ietf-plants-merkle-tree-certs requires unrecognised cosigners to be ignored rather than rejected, so this method returns null for an unknown cosigner instead of throwing.
