Method Details

getInstance

public static final ISignature getInstance(String name)
Returns a new instance of an RSA Signature given its name. The name of an RSA Signature always starts with rsa-, followed by either pss or pkcs1_v1.5. An optional message digest name, to be used with the RSA signature may be specified by appending the hyphen chanaracter - followed by the canonical message digest algorithm name. When no message digest algorithm name is given, SHA-160 is used.
Parameters:
name - the composite RSA signature name.
Returns:
a new instance of an RSA Signature algorithm implementation. Returns null if the given name does not correspond to any supported RSA Signature encoding and message digest combination.

getNames

public static final Set<E> getNames()
Returns a Set of names of RSA signatures supported by this Factory.
Returns:
a Set of RSA Signature algorithm names (Strings).
