Member Function Documentation

◆ NewSignatureAccumulator()

virtual PK_MessageAccumulator * PK_Signer::NewSignatureAccumulator ( RandomNumberGenerator & rng ) const

pure virtual

Create a new HashTransformation to accumulate the message to be signed.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class

Returns: a pointer to a PK_MessageAccumulator

NewSignatureAccumulator() can be used with all signing methods. Sign() will automatically delete the accumulator pointer. The caller is responsible for deletion if a method is called that takes a reference.

Implemented in DL_SignerImpl< SCHEME_OPTIONS >, and ed25519Signer.

◆ InputRecoverableMessage()

virtual void PK_Signer::InputRecoverableMessage	(	PK_MessageAccumulator &	messageAccumulator,
		const byte *	recoverableMessage,
		size_t	recoverableMessageLength
	)		const

pure virtual

Input a recoverable message to an accumulator.

Parameters

messageAccumulator	a reference to a PK_MessageAccumulator
recoverableMessage	a pointer to the recoverable message part to be signed
recoverableMessageLength	the size of the recoverable message part

Implemented in TF_SignerBase, DL_SignerBase< T >, DL_SignerBase< SCHEME_OPTIONS::Element >, and ed25519Signer.

◆ Sign()

virtual size_t PK_Signer::Sign	(	RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		PK_MessageAccumulator *	messageAccumulator,
		byte *	signature
	)		const

virtual

Sign and delete the messageAccumulator.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
messageAccumulator	a pointer to a PK_MessageAccumulator derived class
signature	a block of bytes for the signature

Returns: actual signature length

Sign() deletes the messageAccumulator, even if an exception is thrown.

Precondition: COUNTOF(signature) == MaxSignatureLength()

◆ SignAndRestart()

virtual size_t PK_Signer::SignAndRestart	(	RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		PK_MessageAccumulator &	messageAccumulator,
		byte *	signature,
		bool	restart = `true`
	)		const

pure virtual

Sign and restart messageAccumulator.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
messageAccumulator	a pointer to a PK_MessageAccumulator derived class
signature	a block of bytes for the signature
restart	flag indicating whether the messageAccumulator should be restarted

Returns: actual signature length

Precondition: COUNTOF(signature) == MaxSignatureLength()

Implemented in DL_SignerBase< T >, DL_SignerBase< SCHEME_OPTIONS::Element >, ed25519Signer, and TF_SignerBase.

◆ SignMessage()

virtual size_t PK_Signer::SignMessage	(	RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		const byte *	message,
		size_t	messageLen,
		byte *	signature
	)		const

virtual

Sign a message.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
message	a pointer to the message
messageLen	the size of the message to be signed
signature	a block of bytes for the signature

Returns: actual signature length

Precondition: COUNTOF(signature) == MaxSignatureLength()

◆ SignMessageWithRecovery()

virtual size_t PK_Signer::SignMessageWithRecovery	(	RandomNumberGenerator &	rng,
		const byte *	recoverableMessage,
		size_t	recoverableMessageLength,
		const byte *	nonrecoverableMessage,
		size_t	nonrecoverableMessageLength,
		byte *	signature
	)		const

virtual

Sign a recoverable message.

Parameters

rng	a RandomNumberGenerator derived class
recoverableMessage	a pointer to the recoverable message part to be signed
recoverableMessageLength	the size of the recoverable message part
nonrecoverableMessage	a pointer to the non-recoverable message part to be signed
nonrecoverableMessageLength	the size of the non-recoverable message part
signature	a block of bytes for the signature

Returns: actual signature length

Precondition: COUNTOF(signature) == MaxSignatureLength(recoverableMessageLength)
