SignedQSTreePath

public SignedQSTreePath(InputBuffer buffer)
                 throws QSException

Method Detail

user_data

public QuickSerializable user_data()

Description copied from class: SignedQS

The data which this object signs. Please see the note about this in (QuickSerializable, KeyPair, SecureRandom, Signature). Also, note that SignedQS.verify(java.security.PublicKey, java.security.Signature) should be called to verify that the signature is correct.

Overrides:

user_data in class SignedQS

Returns:

the data which is signed

serialize

public void serialize(OutputBuffer buffer)

Description copied from interface: QuickSerializable

Add the object to the buffer.

Specified by:

serialize in interface QuickSerializable

Overrides:

serialize in class SignedQS

Parameters:

buffer - the output buffer to add the object to

verify

public boolean verify(PublicKey pubkey,
                      Signature engine)
               throws InvalidKeyException,
                      SignatureException,
                      TypeTable.NoSuchTypeCode

Description copied from class: SignedQS

Verify that the signature over SignedQS.user_data() is valid.

Overrides:

verify in class SignedQS

Parameters:

pubkey - The public key of the alleged signer of this message.

engine - a signature generating engine such that

provider  ().equals (engine.getProvider ().getName ())

and

algorithm ().equals (engine.getAlgorithm ())

These can be obtained through the function Signature.getInstance(String) or Signature.getInstance(String, String).

Returns:

true if the signature is valid, false otherwise

InvalidKeyException

SignatureException

TypeTable.NoSuchTypeCode

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class SignedQS
