Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected BigInteger	calculateE(BigInteger n, byte[] message)
protected ECMultiplier	createBasePointMultiplier()
BigInteger[]	generateSignature(byte[] message)	generate a signature for the given message using the key we were initialised with.
protected ECFieldElement	getDenominator(int coordinateSystem, ECPoint p)
BigInteger	getOrder()	Get the order of the group that the r, s values in signatures belong to.
void	init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters param)	initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.
protected SecureRandom	initSecureRandom(boolean needed, SecureRandom provided)
boolean	verifySignature(byte[] message, BigInteger r, BigInteger s)	return true if the value r and s represent a DSA signature for the passed in message (for standard DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the real message to be verified).

Constructor Details

ECDSASigner

public ECDSASigner()

Default configuration, random K values.

ECDSASigner

public ECDSASigner(DSAKCalculator kCalculator)

Configuration with an alternate, possibly deterministic calculator of K.

Parameters:

kCalculator - a K value calculator.

Method Details

init

public void init(boolean forSigning,
 CipherParameters param)

Description copied from interface: DSA

initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.

Specified by:

init in interface DSA

Parameters:

forSigning - true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.

param - key parameters for signature generation.

getOrder

public BigInteger getOrder()

Description copied from interface: DSAExt

Get the order of the group that the r, s values in signatures belong to.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface DSAExt

generateSignature

public BigInteger[] generateSignature(byte[] message)

generate a signature for the given message using the key we were initialised with. For conventional DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the message of interest.

Specified by:

generateSignature in interface DSA

Parameters:

message - the message that will be verified later.

Returns:

two big integers representing the r and s values respectively.

verifySignature

public boolean verifySignature(byte[] message,
 BigInteger r,
 BigInteger s)

return true if the value r and s represent a DSA signature for the passed in message (for standard DSA the message should be a SHA-1 hash of the real message to be verified).

Specified by:

verifySignature in interface DSA

Parameters:

message - the message that was supposed to have been signed.

r - the r signature value.

s - the s signature value.

calculateE

protected BigInteger calculateE(BigInteger n,
 byte[] message)

createBasePointMultiplier

protected ECMultiplier createBasePointMultiplier()

getDenominator

protected ECFieldElement getDenominator(int coordinateSystem,
 ECPoint p)

initSecureRandom

protected SecureRandom initSecureRandom(boolean needed,
 SecureRandom provided)
