X931Signer (Bouncy Castle Library 1.52 API Specification)

org.bouncycastle.crypto.signers

## Class X931Signer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.crypto.signers.X931Signer

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Signer

      public class X931Signer
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements Signer

  X9.31-1998 - signing using a hash.

  The message digest hash, H, is encapsulated to form a byte string as follows

       EB = 06 || PS || 0xBA || H || TRAILER

  where PS is a string of bytes all of value 0xBB of length such that |EB|=|n|, and TRAILER is the ISO/IEC 10118 part number† for the digest. The byte string, EB, is converted to an integer value, the message representative, f.
