Field Detail

SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS

public static final java.util.Set<JWSAlgorithm> SUPPORTED_ALGORITHMS

The supported JWS algorithms.

provider

protected java.security.Provider provider

The underlying cryptographic provider, null if not specified (implies default one).

Constructor Detail

ECDSAVerifier

public ECDSAVerifier(java.math.BigInteger x,
             java.math.BigInteger y)

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

Parameters:

x - The 'x' coordinate for the elliptic curve point. Must not be null.

y - The 'y' coordinate for the elliptic curve point. Must not be null.

Method Detail

getX

public java.math.BigInteger getX()

Gets the 'x' coordinate for the elliptic curve point.

Returns:

The 'x' coordinate.

getY

public java.math.BigInteger getY()

Gets the 'y' coordinate for the elliptic curve point.

Returns:

The 'y' coordinate.

getAcceptedAlgorithms

public java.util.Set<JWSAlgorithm> getAcceptedAlgorithms()

Description copied from interface: JWSVerifier

Gets the names of the accepted JWS algorithms. These correspond to the alg JWS header parameter.

Specified by:

getAcceptedAlgorithms in interface JWSVerifier

Returns:

The accepted JWS algorithms, as a read-only set, empty set if none.

See Also:

JWSVerifier.setAcceptedAlgorithms(java.util.Set<com.nimbusds.jose.JWSAlgorithm>)

setAcceptedAlgorithms

public void setAcceptedAlgorithms(java.util.Set<JWSAlgorithm> acceptedAlgs)

Description copied from interface: JWSVerifier

Sets the names of the accepted JWS algorithms. These correspond to the alg JWS header parameter.

For JWS verifiers that support multiple JWS algorithms this method can be used to indicate that only a subset should be accepted for processing.

Specified by:

setAcceptedAlgorithms in interface JWSVerifier

Parameters:

acceptedAlgs - The accepted JWS algorithms. Must be a subset of the supported algorithms and not null.

getIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters()

Description copied from interface: JWSVerifier

Gets the names of the critical JWS header parameters to ignore. These are indicated by the crit header parameter. The JWS verifier should not ignore critical headers by default.

Specified by:

getIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters in interface JWSVerifier

Returns:

The names of the critical JWS header parameters to ignore, empty or null if none.

setIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters

public void setIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters(java.util.Set<java.lang.String> headers)

Description copied from interface: JWSVerifier

Sets the names of the critical JWS header parameters to ignore. These are indicated by the crit header parameter. The JWS verifier should not ignore critical headers by default. Use this setter to delegate processing of selected critical headers to the application.

Specified by:

setIgnoredCriticalHeaderParameters in interface JWSVerifier

Parameters:

headers - The names of the critical JWS header parameters to ignore, empty or null if none.

verify

public boolean verify(JWSHeader header,
             byte[] signedContent,
             Base64URL signature)
               throws JOSEException

Description copied from interface: JWSVerifier

Verifies the specified signature of a JWS object.

Specified by:

verify in interface JWSVerifier

Parameters:

header - The JSON Web Signature (JWS) header. Must specify an accepted JWS algorithm, must contain only accepted header parameters, and must not be null.

signedContent - The signing input. Must not be null.

signature - The signature part of the JWS object. Must not be null.

Returns:

true if the signature was successfully verified, else false.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the JWS algorithm is not accepted, if a header parameter is not accepted, or if signature verification failed for some other reason.

getSignatureByteArrayLength

protected static int getSignatureByteArrayLength(JWSAlgorithm alg)
                                          throws JOSEException

Gets the expected signature byte array length (R + S parts) for the specified ECDSA algorithm.

Parameters:

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

Returns:

The expected byte array length for the signature.

JOSEException - If the algorithm is not supported.

getECDSAParameters

Sets a specific JCA provider, to be used for all operations.

Specified by:
