Class SnovaSigner

java.lang.Object
org.bouncycastle.pqc.crypto.snova.SnovaSigner
All Implemented Interfaces:
MessageSigner
public class SnovaSigner extends Object implements MessageSigner
Implementation of the Snova digital signature scheme as specified in the Snova documentation. This class provides functionality for both signature generation and verification.

Snova is a candidate in the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography: Additional Digital Signature Schemes project, currently in Round 2 of evaluations. For more details about the NIST standardization process, see: NIST PQC Additional Digital Signatures.

    • init

      public void init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters param)
      Description copied from interface: MessageSigner
      initialise the signer for signature generation or signature verification.
      Specified by:
      init in interface MessageSigner
      Parameters:
      forSigning - true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.
      param - key parameters for signature generation.

    • generateSignature

      public byte[] generateSignature(byte[] message)
      Description copied from interface: MessageSigner
      sign the passed in message (usually the output of a hash function).
      Specified by:
      generateSignature in interface MessageSigner
      Parameters:
      message - the message to be signed.
      Returns:
      the signature of the message

    • verifySignature

      public boolean verifySignature(byte[] message, byte[] signature)
      Description copied from interface: MessageSigner
      verify the message message against the signature value.
      Specified by:
      verifySignature in interface MessageSigner
      Parameters:
      message - the message that was supposed to have been signed.
      signature - the signature of the message
