Interface SignatureRSA

All Superinterfaces:

Signature

public interface SignatureRSA
extends Signature

Usually not to be used by applications. An RSA signing or signature checking algorithm.

This interface is a slimmed down and specialized (on RSA) version of Signature.

It will be used by the library to check the server's signature during key exchange, and to prove our own possession of the private key for public-key authentication in the default Identity implementation.

The library will choose the implementation class by the configuration option signature.dsa, and instantiate it using the no-argument constructor. For signature checking, the usage would look like this:

  sig = class.newInstance();
  sig.init();
  sig.setPubKey(e, n);
  sig.update(H); // maybe more than once
  boolean ok = sig.verify(sig_of_H);

For signing, the usage would look like this:

  sig = class.newInstance();
  sig.init();
  sig.setPrvKey(d, n);
  sig.update(H); // maybe more than once
  byte[] sig_of_H = sig.sign();

The library contains a default implementation based on Signature.
