public class Md2RSASignature

extends RSASignature

This class implements the RSA PKCS#1v1.5 digital signature algorithm (RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5) using MD2 as message digest algorithm.

The PKCS#1v1.5 "MD2 with RSA" signature algorithm is described in PKCS#1.

An application wishing to sign some message or to verify some signature using the "MD2 with RSA" algorithm generally has to perform three steps:

• First an instance of the desired signature algorithm has to be created using a proper getInstance method, e.g.

   Signature md2_rsa = Signature.getInstance("MD2withRSA");
   

• Second, the Signature object just created has to be properly initialized for signing a message respectively verifying a signature using a RSA private respectively RSA public key, e.g.:
  • Initialize for Signing: md2_rsa.initSign(rsaPrivateKey);
  • Initialize for Verifying: md2_rsa.initVerify(rsaPublicKey);

• Finally, if the Signature object has been initialized for signing, the data to be signed is supplied to it and subsequently the signature is created by calling the sign method returning the signature as byte array. Otherwise, if the Signature object has been initialized for verifying, first the data to be verified is supplied to the Signature object, and subsequently the signature is verified by calling the verify method, supplied with the byte array holding the corresponding signature value:
  • Supply the data to be signed, and subsequently sign it:

     md2_rsa.update(data);
     byte[] signature = md2_rsa.sign();
     

  • Supply the data to be verified, and verify the signature:

     md2_rsa.update(data);
     System.out.println("Signature " + (md2_rsa.verify(signature) ? "correct!" : "not correct!"));
