  +--net.rim.device.api.crypto.PSSSignatureSigner

All Implemented Interfaces:

SignatureSigner

public final class PSSSignatureSigner

extends Object

implements SignatureSigner

The PSSSignatureSigner class can sign messages using the RSA Signature Scheme with Appendix - Probabilistic Signature Scheme RSA (PSS) signature PSS signature scheme.

We implemented PSS as per it's description in the PKCS #1 version 2.1 document.
