Init(bool, ICipherParameters)

Initialise this instance for signature generation or verification.

void Init(bool forSigning, ICipherParameters param)

Parameters

forSigning bool

true if we are generating a signature, false otherwise.

param ICipherParameters

parameters for signature generation or verification.

VerifySignature(byte[], byte[])

Verify a purported signature for a message.

bool VerifySignature(byte[] message, byte[] signature)

Parameters

message byte[]
