Class Summary

Class	Description
ExternalHashSignature	This is an implementation of a Signature class that uses the IAIK PKCS#11 wrapper to access the token.
PKCS11BufferingSignature	This is an implementation of a Signature class that uses the IAIK PKCS#11 wrapper to access the token.
PKCS11Signature	This is an implementation of a Signature class that uses the IAIK PKCS#11 wrapper to access the token.
PKCS11SignatureParameterSpec	Objects of this algorithm parameters class allows an application to control the generation of PKCS#11 keys using the provided JCE key generators.
SignatureInputStream	This class implements a streaming version of a signature engine.
SignatureOutputStream	This class implements a streaming version of a signature engine.
SignatureUtil	This class hosts static utility methods used by two or more classes of this package.

Package iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.provider.signatures Description

This package contains the implementation classes for signatures. The base class of all signature implementations is PKCS11Signature; it contains most of the code. There are signatures for external hashing, what means that the hash is generated in software using a software delegate, and only the final signature value creation is on on the token. Such implementaion classes are derived from ExternalHashSignature. In contrast there are classes which's name starts with Internal. These classes also do the hashing on the token - the token does all processing. PKCS11BufferingSignature is the base class for all those signature implementations which must transfer all input data to the token using a single function call.
