Method SummaryModifier and TypeMethodDescriptiongetKeyId()Returns the id of the key that will be used for signing.getName()An identifying name for this signatory.byte[]sign(InputStream toSign) ExhauststoSign, and returns the raw signature bytes.voidsign(InputStream toSign, OutputStream destination) ExhauststoSign, and writes the signature tosignatureDestination.
- 
Method Details- 
getNameAn identifying name for this signatory. The name must be constant for the life of the signatory and should uniquely identify it within a project. 
-

- destination- Where the signature will be written to
 
- 
signExhauststoSign, and returns the raw signature bytes.- Parameters:
- toSign- The source of the data to be signed
- Returns:
- The raw bytes of the signature
 
-
