Package overview
Three schemes are implemented in this library: the Digital Signature
Scheme (DSS), RSA-PSS, and RSA-PKCS1 version 1.5.
The following diagram shows the important classes participating in
this package:

ISignature dss = SignatureFactory.getInstance("DSS");
Map attrib = new HashMap();
attrib.put(ISignature.SIGNER_KEY, privateDsaKey);
dss.setupSign(attrib);
dss.update(message, 0, message.length);
Object sig = dss.sign();
ISignatureCodec codec = new DSSSignatureRawCodec();
byte[] encoded = codec.encodeSignature(sig);
Object sig2 = codec.decodeSignature(encoded);
attrib.clear();
attrib.put(ISignature.VERIFIER_KEY, publicDsaKey);
dss.setupVerify(attrib);
dss.update(message, 0, message.length);
boolean valid = dss.verify(sig);
