Method Detail

getKeyIdentity

KeyPair getKeyIdentity()

Returns:

The KeyPair identity value

sign

Map.Entry<String,byte[]> sign(SessionContext session,
                              String algo,
                              byte[] data)
                       throws Exception

Proves the public key identity by signing the given data

Parameters:

session - The SessionContext for calling this method - may be null if not called within a session context

algo - Recommended signature algorithm - if null/empty then one will be selected based on the key type and/or signature factories. Note: even if specific algorithm specified, the implementation may disregard and choose another

data - Data to sign

Returns:

used algorithm + signed data - using the identity

Throws:

Exception - If failed to sign the data
