Class PKCS1SignatureSigner

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.rim.device.api.crypto.PKCS1SignatureSigner
All Implemented Interfaces:
SignatureSigner

public final class PKCS1SignatureSigner
extends Object
implements SignatureSigner

The PKCS1SignatureSigner object can sign messages using the RSA PKCS#1 signature scheme.

We implemented the PKCS1 signing as per the PKCS #1 version 2.1 document.

PKCS1SignatureSigner

public PKCS1SignatureSigner(RSAPrivateKey key,
                            boolean useASN1)
                     throws CryptoUnsupportedOperationException
Constructs an RSA PKCS1SignatureSigner object (version 2.0) signing object which uses the given digest.

Parameters:
