SignerInfo

public SignerInfo(SignerIdentifier signerIdentifier,
                  SET signedAttributes,
                  SET unsignedAttributes,
                  OBJECT_IDENTIFIER contentType,
                  byte[] messageDigest,
                  SignatureAlgorithm signingAlg,
                  PrivateKey signingKey)
           throws java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                  java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                  CryptoManager.NotInitializedException,
                  java.security.SignatureException,
                  TokenException
A constructor for creating a new SignerInfo from scratch.

Parameters:
signerIdentifier - The signerIdentifier of the certificate from which the public key was extracted to create this SignerInfo.
signingAlg - The algorithm to be used to sign the content. This should be a composite algorithm, such as RSASignatureWithMD5Digest, instead of a raw algorithm, such as RSASignature. Note that the digest portion of this algorithm must be the same algorithm as was used to digest the message content.
signedAttributes - An optional set of Attributes, which will be signed along with the message content. This parameter may be null, or the SET may be empty. DO NOT insert the PKCS #9 content-type or message-digest attributes. They will be added automatically if they are necessary.
unsignedAttributes - An optional set of Attributes, which will be included in the SignerInfo but not signed. This parameter may be null, or the SET may be empty.
messageDigest - The digest of the message contents. The digest must have been created with the digest algorithm specified by the signingAlg parameter.
contentType - The type of the ContentInfo that is being signed. If it is not data, then the PKCS #9 attributes content-type and message-digest will be automatically computed and added to the signed attributes.
Throws:
java.security.InvalidKeyException
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException
CryptoManager.NotInitializedException
java.security.SignatureException
TokenException

public void verify(byte[] messageDigest,
                   OBJECT_IDENTIFIER contentType)
            throws CryptoManager.NotInitializedException,
                   java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                   java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                   TokenException,
                   java.security.SignatureException,
                   ObjectNotFoundException
Verifies that this SignerInfo contains a valid signature of the given message digest. If any signed attributes are present, they are also validated. The verification algorithm is as follows:

    Note that this does not verify the validity of the the certificate itself, only the signature.

  • If no signed attributes are present, the content type is verified to be data. Then it is verified that the message digest passed in, when encrypted with the given public key, matches the encrypted digest in the SignerInfo.
  • If signed attributes are present, two particular attributes must be present:
    • PKCS #9 Content-Type, the type of content that is being signed. This must match the contentType parameter.
    • PKCS #9 Message-Digest, the digest of the content that is being signed. This must match the messageDigest parameter.
    After these two attributes are verified to be both present and correct, the encryptedDigest field of the SignerInfo is verified to be the signature of the contents octets of the DER encoding of the signedAttributes field.

Parameters:
messageDigest - The hash of the content that is signed by this SignerInfo.
contentType - The type of the content that is signed by this SignerInfo.
Throws:
NoSuchObjectException - If no certificate matching the the issuer name and serial number can be found.
