Class SignatureValue

java.lang.Object
  iaik.cms.SignatureValue

public class SignatureValue
extends java.lang.Object

The SignatureValue of a CMS SignerInfo.

The signature value field of a CMS SignerInfo is specified as ASN.1 OCTET STRING (see RFC 5652):

 
 SignatureValue ::= OCTET STRING
 

Provides an alternative way to get the signature value from a SignerInfo object got from a SignedDataInOutStream object during parsing:

 SignedDataInOutStream signedData = ...;
 SignerInfo signerInfo = signedData.getSignerInfos()[0];
 SignatureValue signatureValue = signerInfo.getSigValue();
 byte[] signature = signatureValue.getValue();
 

Usually it is more convenient to get the signature value immediately by calling method getSignatureValue:

 ...
 byte[] signature = signatureValue.getSignatureValue();
 

The only purpose of class SignatureValue is to get the parsed encoded representation of the signature value OCTET STRING:

 ...
 SignatureValue signatureValue = signerInfo.getSigValue();
 byte[] encodedSignatureValue = signatureValue.getEncoded();
