Interface StateAwareSignature

All Known Implementing Classes:

XMSSMTSignatureSpi, XMSSMTSignatureSpi.withSha256, XMSSMTSignatureSpi.withSha512, XMSSMTSignatureSpi.withShake128, XMSSMTSignatureSpi.withShake256, XMSSSignatureSpi, XMSSSignatureSpi.withSha256, XMSSSignatureSpi.withSha512, XMSSSignatureSpi.withShake128, XMSSSignatureSpi.withShake256

public interface StateAwareSignature

This interface is implemented by Signature classes returned by the PQC provider where the signature algorithm is one where the private key is updated for each signature generated. Examples of these are algorithms such as GMSS, XMSS, and XMSS^MT.

sign

byte[] sign()
     throws java.security.SignatureException

Throws:

update

void update(byte b)
     throws java.security.SignatureException

Throws:

java.security.SignatureException

update

void update(byte[] data)
     throws java.security.SignatureException

Throws:

java.security.SignatureException

update

void update(byte[] data,

            int len)
     throws java.security.SignatureException

Throws:

java.security.SignatureException

update

void update(java.nio.ByteBuffer data)
     throws java.security.SignatureException

Throws:

java.security.SignatureException

getAlgorithm

java.lang.String getAlgorithm()

isSigningCapable

boolean isSigningCapable()

Return true if this Signature object can be used for signing. False otherwise.

Returns:

true if we are capable of making signatures.

getUpdatedPrivateKey

java.security.PrivateKey getUpdatedPrivateKey()

Return the current version of the private key with the updated state.

Note: calling this method will effectively disable the Signature object from being used for further signature generation without another call to initSign().

Returns:

an updated private key object, which can be used for later signature generation.
