MTCSignatureVerifier (Bouncy Castle Library 1.85 API Specification)

All Known Implementing Classes:

BcMTCSignatureVerifier, JcaMTCSignatureVerifier
```
public interface MTCSignatureVerifier
```
Operator interface for verifying a single cosigner signature over a pre-encoded CosignedMessage, per Section 5.3.1 of draft-ietf-plants-merkle-tree-certs.
An implementation is bound to a specific public key and algorithm at construction; callers feed it the CosignedMessage bytes (built via MTCCosignedMessage.encode(byte[], long, long, byte[], byte[])) and the candidate signature, and the implementation returns whether the signature is valid.

JCA-free and lightweight-crypto-free. Concrete bindings: org.bouncycastle.cert.plants.bc.BcMTCSignatureVerifier (lightweight) and org.bouncycastle.cert.plants.jcajce.JcaMTCSignatureVerifier (JCA).

  Modifier and Type Method Description
  
  java.lang.String getAlgorithm()
  
  boolean verify(byte[] cosignedMessage, byte[] signature)

- Method Detail
  - getAlgorithm
```
java.lang.String getAlgorithm()
```
    Returns:
    
    the MTC signature algorithm this verifier is bound to — one of the MTCSignatureAlgorithm constants. Lets callers check a registered verifier against the algorithm a CA publishes for its cosigner (Section 5.5 sigAlg).
  - verify
```
boolean verify(byte[] cosignedMessage,
               byte[] signature)
```
    Parameters:
    
    cosignedMessage - the encoded CosignedMessage bytes
    
    signature - the candidate signature
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the signature is valid for the bound public key and algorithm
