Constructor Detail

GMSSSigner

public GMSSSigner(GMSSDigestProvider digest)

The standard constructor tries to generate the MerkleTree Algorithm identifier with the corresponding OID.

Parameters:

digest - the digest to use

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)

Signs a message.

Specified by:

generateSignature in interface MessageSigner

Parameters:

message - the message to be signed.

Returns:

the signature.

verifySignature

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

This function verifies the signature of the message that has been updated, with the aid of the public key.

Specified by:

verifySignature in interface MessageSigner

Parameters:

message - the message

signature - the signature associated with the message

Returns:

true if the signature has been verified, false otherwise.
