@ThreadSafe
public class Ed25519Signer
extends EdDSAProvider
implements JWSSigner

Ed25519 signer of JWS objects. Expects an OctetKeyPair with "crv" Ed25519. Uses the Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA).

See RFC 8037 for more information.

This class is thread-safe.

Supports the following algorithm:

• JWSAlgorithm.EdDSA

with the following curve:

• Curve.Ed25519

Constructor Detail

Ed25519Signer

public Ed25519Signer(OctetKeyPair privateKey)
              throws JOSEException

Creates a new Ed25519 signer.

Parameters:

privateKey - The private key. Must be non-null, and must be of type Ed25519 ("crv": "Ed25519").

Throws:

JOSEException - If the key subtype is not supported or if the key is not a private key

Method Detail

getPrivateKey

public OctetKeyPair getPrivateKey()

Gets the Ed25519 private key as an OctetKeyPair.

Returns:

The private key.

sign

public Base64URL sign(JWSHeader header,
                      byte[] signingInput)
               throws JOSEException

Description copied from interface: JWSSigner

Signs the specified input of a JWS object.

Specified by:

sign in interface JWSSigner

Parameters:

header - The JSON Web Signature (JWS) header. Must specify a supported JWS algorithm and must not be null.

signingInput - The input to sign. Must not be null.

Returns:

The resulting signature part (third part) of the JWS object.

Throws:

JOSEException - If the JWS algorithm is not supported, if a critical header parameter is not supported or marked for deferral to the application, or if signing failed for some other internal reason.
