      All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods 
      Modifier and Type Method Description
      org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier getAlgorithmIdentifier()
      Return the algorithm identifier describing the signature algorithm and parameters this signer generates.
      java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
      Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a signature.
      byte[] getSignature()
      Returns a signature based on the current data written to the stream, since the start or the last call to getSignature().

    • Method Detail

      • getAlgorithmIdentifier

        org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier getAlgorithmIdentifier()
        Return the algorithm identifier describing the signature algorithm and parameters this signer generates.
        Returns:
        algorithm oid and parameters.

      • getOutputStream

        java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
        Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a signature. Use org.bouncycastle.util.io.TeeOutputStream if you want to accumulate the data on the fly as well.
        Returns:
        an OutputStream

      • getSignature

        byte[] getSignature()
        Returns a signature based on the current data written to the stream, since the start or the last call to getSignature().
        Returns:
        bytes representing the signature.
