## org.bouncycastle.pqc.crypto.sphincs
Class SPHINCS256Signer

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.pqc.crypto.sphincs.SPHINCS256Signer

All Implemented Interfaces:
  MessageSigner

public class SPHINCS256Signer
extends java.lang.Object
implements MessageSigner

SPHINCS-256 signer.

This implementation is heavily based on the reference implementation in SUPERCOP, the main difference being the digests used for message hashing and tree construction are now configurable (within limits[]) and that the implementation produces detached signatures.

The SPHINCS reference implementation is public domain, as per the statement in the second last paragraph of section 1 in https://eprint.iacr.org/2014/795.pdf

Constructor Summary
`SPHINCS256Signer(Digest nDigest, Digest twoNDigest)` Base constructor.

Method Summary
`byte[]` | `generateSignature(byte[] message)` sign the passed in message (usually the output of a hash function).
`void` | `init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters param)` initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.
`boolean` | `verifySignature(byte[] message, byte[] signature)` verify the message message against the signature value.

Constructor Detail

### SPHINCS256Signer

    public SPHINCS256Signer(Digest nDigest,
                            Digest twoNDigest)

  Base constructor.

Parameters:
  `nDigest` - the "n-digest" must produce 32 bytes of output - used for tree construction.
  `twoNDigest` - the "2n-digest" must produce 64 bytes of output - used for initial message/key/seed hashing.

Method Detail

### init

    public void init(boolean forSigning,
                     CipherParameters param)

  Description copied from interface: `MessageSigner`
  initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.

  Specified by:
    `init` in interface `MessageSigner`
  Parameters:
    `forSigning` - true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.
    `param` - key parameters for signature generation.

### generateSignature

    public byte[] generateSignature(byte[] message)

  Description copied from interface: `MessageSigner`
  sign the passed in message (usually the output of a hash function).

  Specified by:
    `generateSignature` in interface `MessageSigner`
  Parameters:
    `message` - the message to be signed.
  Returns:
    the signature of the message

### verifySignature

    public boolean verifySignature(byte[] message,
                                   byte[] signature)

  Description copied from interface: `MessageSigner`
  verify the message message against the signature value.

  Specified by:
    `verifySignature` in interface `MessageSigner`
  Parameters:
    `message` - the message that was supposed to have been signed.
    `signature` - the signature of the message
