  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `byte[]` | `generateSignature()` Generate a signature for the message we've been loaded with using the key we were initialised with.
    `void` | `init(boolean forSigning, CipherParameters parameters)` initialise the signer for signing or verification.
    `void` | `reset()` reset the internal state
    `void` | `update(byte input)` update the internal digest with the byte b
    `void` | `update(byte[] input, int inOff, int length)` update the internal digest with the byte array in
    `boolean` | `verifySignature(byte[] signature)` return true if the internal state represents the signature described in the passed in array.

          public void update(byte[] input,
                    int inOff,
                    int length)

      update the internal digest with the byte array in
      Specified by:
        `update` in interface `Signer`

    - #### generateSignature

          public byte[] generateSignature()
                                   throws CryptoException,
