public class Sha256RSASignature

extends RSASignature

This class implements the RSA PKCS#1v1.5 digital signature algorithm (RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5) using (SHA256) as message digest algorithm.

The PKCS#1v1.5 "SHA256 with RSA" signature algorithm is described in PKCS#1.

An application wishing to sign some message or to verify some signature using the "SHA256 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 sha_rsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
   

• 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: sha_rsa.initSign(rsaPrivateKey);
  • Initialize for Verifying: sha_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:

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

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

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

Constructor Detail

Sha256RSASignature

public Sha256RSASignature()

Default Constructor.

Applications do not call this constructor. They shall use one of the getInstance methods of the java.security.Signature class:

 Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("SHA256withRSA");
