  extended by net.rim.device.api.crypto.ECDSASignatureVerifier
All Implemented Interfaces:
SignatureVerifier

public final class ECDSASignatureVerifier
extends Object
implements SignatureVerifier

Verifies an ECDSA signature on a message.

Elliptic Curve cryptography is defined in various standards including P1363 and ANSI X9.62. ECDSA is specifically defined in ANSI X9.62.

Constructor Detail

ECDSASignatureVerifier

public ECDSASignatureVerifier(ECPublicKey key,
                              byte[] r,
                              int rOffset,
                              byte[] s,
                              int sOffset)
                       throws CryptoTokenException,
                              CryptoUnsupportedOperationException,
                              InvalidSignatureEncodingException
Constructs an ECDSASignatureVerifier object using SHA-1 for the digest.

NOTE: Also, if r and s point to the same buffer, then it is assumed that the length of r and the length of s are both exactly the length of the private key.

Parameters:
key - The public key to use for verification.
r - The r part of the signature to verify. Note that r is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
rOffset - The offset, or start position, of the signature data within the array r.
s - The s part of the signature to verify. Note that s is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
sOffset - The offset, or start position, of the signature data within the array s.
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.
InvalidSignatureEncodingException

ECDSASignatureVerifier

public ECDSASignatureVerifier(ECPublicKey key,
                              Digest digest,
                              byte[] r,
                              int rOffset,
                              byte[] s,

                       throws CryptoTokenException,
                              CryptoUnsupportedOperationException,
                              InvalidSignatureEncodingException
Constructs an ECDSASignatureVerifier object.

NOTE: If the digest has any state information in it when it is given to the signature verifier, this information will be incorparated into the signature.

NOTE: Also, if r and s point to the same buffer, then it is assumed that the length of r and the length of s are both exactly the length of the private key.

Parameters:
key - The public key to use for verification.
digest - The digest to use for verification.
r - The r part of the signature to verify. Note that r is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
rOffset - The offset, or start position, of the signature data within the array r.
s - The s part of the signature to verify. Note that s is an element of the finite field that the elliptic curve is defined over.
sOffset - The offset, or start position, of the signature data within the array s.
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.
