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

All Implemented Interfaces:

SignatureVerifier

public final class PSSSignatureVerifier

extends Object

implements SignatureVerifier

The PSSSignatureVerifier class can verify an RSA Signature Scheme with Appendix - Probabilistic Signature Scheme RSA (PSS) signature.

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

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.
