LMSSignature (Bouncy Castle Library 1.86 API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- org.bouncycastle.crypto.signers.lms.LMSSignature

All Implemented Interfaces:

Encodable
```
public class LMSSignature
extends java.lang.Object
implements Encodable
```
An LMS signature (RFC 8554 sec. 5.4). Opaque outside this package: decode one with getInstance(Object) and re-encode it with getEncoded(). An HSSPrivateKeyParameters carries the chaining signatures of its hierarchy as instances of this class.
