    • sign

      public Base64URL sign(JWSHeader header, byte[] signingInput) throws JOSEException
      Description copied from interface: JWSSigner
      Signs the specified input 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.
      signingInput - The input 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, if a critical header parameter is not supported or marked for deferral to the application, or if signing failed for some other internal reason.
