Field Detail

SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS

public static final Set<JWSAlgorithm> SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS

The supported JWS algorithms.

Constructor Detail

ECDSASigner

public ECDSASigner(BigInteger privateKey)

Creates a new Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) signer.

Parameters:

privateKey - The private key ('d' parameter). Must not be null.

Method Detail

getPrivateKey

public BigInteger getPrivateKey()

Gets the private key ('d' parameter).

Returns:

The private key.

sign

public Base64URL sign(ReadOnlyJWSHeader header,
                      byte[] signableContent)
               throws JOSEException

Description copied from interface: JWSSigner

Signs the specified signable content of a JWS object.

Specified by:

sign in interface JWSSigner

Parameters:

header - The JSON Web Signature (JWS) header. Must specify a supported JWS algorithm and must not be null.

signableContent - The content to sign. Must not be null.

Returns:

The resulting signature part (third part) of the JWS object.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the JWS algorithm is not supported or if signing failed for some other reason.

getECDSAParameters

protected static com.nimbusds.jose.crypto.ECDSAParameters getECDSAParameters(JWSAlgorithm alg)
                                                                      throws JOSEException

Gets the initial parameters for the specified ECDSA-based JSON Web Algorithm (JWA).

Parameters:

alg - The JSON Web Algorithm (JWA). Must be supported and not null.

Returns:

The initial ECDSA parameters.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the algorithm is not supported.

supportedAlgorithms

public Set<JWSAlgorithm> supportedAlgorithms()

Description copied from interface: JWSAlgorithmProvider

Returns the names of the supported JWS algorithms. These correspond to the alg JWS header parameter.

Specified by:

supportedAlgorithms in interface JWSAlgorithmProvider

Returns:

The supported JWS algorithms, empty set if none.
