Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(KeyProvider keyProvider)

Initializes the key provider.

Parameters:

keyProvider - KeyProvider object

signBuffer

byte[] signBuffer(String data,
                  String certAlias)
           throws FSSignatureException

Signs a string using enveloped signatures and default signature algorithm.

Parameters:

data - string that needs to be signed

certAlias - Signer's certificate alias name

Returns:

byte array which contains signature Element object

Throws:

FSSignatureException - if an error occurred during the signing process

signBuffer

byte[] signBuffer(String data,
                  String certAlias,
                  String algorithm)
           throws FSSignatureException

Signs a string using enveloped signatures.

Parameters:

data - string that needs to be signed

certAlias - Signer's certificate alias name

algorithm - signing algorithm

Returns:

byte array which contains signature Element object

Throws:

FSSignatureException - if an error occurred during the signing process

verifySignature

boolean verifySignature(String data,
                        byte[] signature,
                        String algorithm,
                        X509Certificate cert)
                 throws FSSignatureException

Verifies the signature of a signed string.

Parameters:

data - string whose signature to be verified

signature - signature in byte array

algorithm - signing algorithm

cert - certificate for Signer's certificate.

Returns:

true if the xml signature is verified; false otherwise

Throws:

FSSignatureException - if problem occurs during verification

getKeyProvider

KeyProvider getKeyProvider()
