Interface SignedInfo

All Superinterfaces:

XMLStructure

public interface SignedInfo

extends XMLStructure

An representation of the XML SignedInfo element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

 <element name="SignedInfo" type="ds:SignedInfoType"/> 
 <complexType name="SignedInfoType">
   <sequence> 
     <element ref="ds:CanonicalizationMethod"/> 
     <element ref="ds:SignatureMethod"/> 
     <element ref="ds:Reference" maxOccurs="unbounded"/> 
   </sequence>  
   <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/> 
 </complexType>
 

A SignedInfo instance may be created by invoking one of the[newSignedInfo](../../../../javax/xml/crypto/dsig/XMLSignatureFactory.html#newSignedInfo%28javax.xml.crypto.dsig.CanonicalizationMethod, javax.xml.crypto.dsig.SignatureMethod, java.util.List%29) methods of theXMLSignatureFactory class.

getCanonicalizationMethod

CanonicalizationMethod getCanonicalizationMethod()

Returns the canonicalization method of this SignedInfo.

Returns:

the canonicalization method

getSignatureMethod

SignatureMethod getSignatureMethod()

Returns the signature method of this SignedInfo.

Returns:

the signature method

getReferences

List getReferences()

Returns an unmodifiable list of one or more References.

Returns:

an unmodifiable list of one or more References

getId

String getId()

Returns the optional Id attribute of this SignedInfo.

Returns:

the id (may be null if not specified)

getCanonicalizedData

InputStream getCanonicalizedData()

Returns the canonicalized signed info bytes after a signing or validation operation. This method is useful for debugging.

Returns:

an InputStream containing the canonicalized bytes, or null if this SignedInfo has not been signed or validated yet
