Class PSSSignatureVerifier

java.lang.Object
  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 applications. If you intend to use this element, please visit http://www.blackberry.com/go/codesigning to obtain a set of code signing keys. Code signing is only required for applications running on BlackBerry smartphones; development on BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators can occur without code signing.

Since:

BlackBerry API 3.6.0

Constructor Summary
	PSSSignatureVerifier(RSAPublicKey key, byte[] signature, int signatureOffset) Constructs an RSA PSSSignatureVerifier object which uses the SHA-1 digest.
	PSSSignatureVerifier(RSAPublicKey key, Digest digest, byte[] signature, int signatureOffset) Constructs an RSA PSSSignatureVerifier object which uses the given digest.

Method Summary
	String	getAlgorithm() Returns the name of the signing algorithm used ("RSA_PSS/" + digest algorithm name).
	void	update(byte[] data) Adds additional message data to the signature.
	void	update(byte[] data, int offset, int length) Adds additional message data to the signature.
	void	update(int data) Adds additional message data to the signature.
	boolean	verify() Returns true if the signature is valid, false otherwise.
