SecureResolver.HDLSignature

public SecureResolver.HDLSignature(java.lang.String handle,
                           HandleValue metadataValue,
                           net.cnri.simplexml.XTag metadataXML,
                           ValueReference signer,

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getSigner

public final ValueReference getSigner()

Return the identifier for signing entity (unverified until verifySignature() is called).

verifySignature

public final boolean verifySignature(java.security.PublicKey pubkey)
                              throws java.lang.Exception

Returns true if the metadata signature has been signed by the given key. Note that this alone does not ensure that the handle values are valid - you must also call verifyValue() on each handle value to determine if the signature for that specific value is valid. This allows for the possibility of partial signatures and unsigned values in a handle.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

verifyValue

public final boolean verifyValue(HandleValue value)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

Return true if the given value was properly signed. Note that this does not ensure that the signer is trusted. That should be done by the calling code using the getSigner()

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
