All Implemented Interfaces:

SignatureSigner

public final class DSASignatureSigner

extends Object

implements SignatureSigner

Signs a message using the DSA signature scheme.

The Digital Signature Algorithm ( DSA ) is defined in FIPS 186.

Category:

Signed: This element is only accessible by signed clients. If you intend to use this element, please contact RIM to establish the necessary agreements that will allow you to have your COD files signed. Signing is only required for use on the device, development under the JDE can occur without signing the CODs.
Certicom: This element is part of the Certicom Cryptography APIs. The Certicom Cryptography APIs provide the tools you need, including ECC based algorithms, to integrate high performance data security into your applications, such as public key data encryption and decryption, digital signatures, and data authentication. Since the Certicom Cryptography API is already in the JDE, its use will remove the need for you to engage in time and resource intensive security integration so that you have lower development costs and a faster time to market. Use of the Certicom Cryptography API requires a license from Certicom. Please contact Certicom directly for more information on licensing fees and conditions.

                   throws CryptoTokenException,
                          CryptoUnsupportedOperationException

Constructs a DSASignatureSigner object which uses SHA-1 to compute the signature.

Parameters:

key - The private key to use.

Throws:

CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto token or the crypto token is invalid.

CryptoUnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if a call is made to an unsupported operation.

DSASignatureSigner

public DSASignatureSigner(DSAPrivateKey key,
                          Digest digest)
                   throws CryptoTokenException,
                          CryptoUnsupportedOperationException

Constructs a DSASignatureSigner object which uses digest to compute the signature.

NOTE: If the digest has any state information in it when it is given to the signature signer, this information will be incorparated into the signature. If you don't want this information included, call the reset routine for the signature signer to delete it. A newly created digest, which no update calls have been made too, has no state information in it by default.

Parameters:

key - The private key to use.

digest - An instance of the digest algorithm to use.

Throws:

CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto token or the crypto token is invalid.

CryptoUnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if a call is made to an unsupported operation.
