All Known Implementing Classes:
BufferingContentSigner
public interface ContentSigner
General interface for an operator that is able to create a signature from a stream of output.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier
    getAlgorithmIdentifier()
    Return the algorithm identifier describing the signature algorithm and parameters this signer generates.
    OutputStream
    getOutputStream()
    Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a signature.
    byte[]
    getSignature()
    Returns a signature based on the current data written to the stream, since the start or the last call to getSignature().

  • Method Details

    • getAlgorithmIdentifier

      org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier getAlgorithmIdentifier()
      Return the algorithm identifier describing the signature algorithm and parameters this signer generates.
      Returns:
      algorithm oid and parameters.

    • getOutputStream

      OutputStream getOutputStream()
      Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a signature. Use org.bouncycastle.util.io.TeeOutputStream if you want to accumulate the data on the fly as well.
      Returns:
      an OutputStream

    • getSignature

      byte[] getSignature()
      Returns a signature based on the current data written to the stream, since the start or the last call to getSignature().
      Returns:
      bytes representing the signature.
