Interface SignatureHolder

All Known Implementing Classes:

BinarySignatureHolder, TextualSignatureHolder

public interface SignatureHolder

Data structure that holds the information of one signature block, which is the signed/signable text and the corresponding SignatureObject.

Signators and Verifiactors should implement own classes for this interface that generate the text to be signed from the underlying data. For example a binary signature holder could generate the text to be signed by Base64 encoding the binary data. Furthermore this allows to cache the text to be signed.

Method Summary

SignatureObject	getSignatureObject()
String	getSignedText() Returns the signed text (verification) or the to-be-signed signable text (signation).

Method Detail

getSignedText

String getSignedText()

Returns the signed text (verification) or the to-be-signed signable text (signation).

Note that this text must be the one that was actually signed. This text is directly passed to the connector for signation/verification. No normalization or modification will be / must be done to this text between reading out from the signature holder and passing the text to the connector.

Returns:

Returns the signed text or the to-be-signed signable text.

getSignatureObject

SignatureObject getSignatureObject()

Returns:

Returns the SignatureObject containing the issuer, serial number, etc.
