Method Detail

getAlgorithmIdentifier

org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier getAlgorithmIdentifier()

Return the algorithm identifier representing the digest implemented by this calculator.

Returns:

algorithm id and parameters.

getOutputStream

OutputStream getOutputStream()

Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a digest. Use org.bouncycastle.util.io.TeeOutputStream if you want to accumulate the data on the fly as well.

Returns:

an OutputStream

getDigest

byte[] getDigest()

Return the digest calculated on what has been written to the calculator's output stream.

Returns:

a digest.
