Class BaseSignatureTrustEngine<TrustBasisType>

  • Type Parameters:
    TrustBasisType - the type of trusted information which has been resolved and which will serve as the basis for trust evaluation
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    TrustEngine<Signature>, SignatureTrustEngine
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ExplicitKeySignatureTrustEngine, PKIXSignatureTrustEngine

    public abstract class BaseSignatureTrustEngine<TrustBasisType>
    extends Object
    implements SignatureTrustEngine
    A base implementation of SignatureTrustEngine which evaluates the validity and trustworthiness of XML and raw signatures.

    When processing XML signatures, the supplied KeyInfoCredentialResolver will be used to resolve credential(s) containing the (advisory) signing key from the KeyInfo element of the Signature, if present. If any of these credentials do contain the valid signing key, they will be evaluated for trustworthiness against trusted information, which will be resolved in an implementation-specific manner.

    Subclasses are required to implement evaluateTrust(Credential, Object) using an implementation-specific trust model.

                                       throws SecurityException
        Determines whether a raw signature over specified content is valid and signed by a trusted credential.

        A candidate verification credential may optionally be supplied. If one is supplied and is determined to successfully verify the signature, an attempt will be made to establish trust on this basis.

        If a candidate credential is not supplied, or it does not successfully verify the signature, some implementations may be able to resolve candidate verification credential(s) in an implementation-specific manner based on the trusted criteria supplied, and then attempt to verify the signature and establish trust on this basis.

        Parameters:
        signature - the signature value
        content - the content that was signed
        algorithmURI - the signature algorithm URI which was used to sign the content
        trustBasisCriteria - criteria used to describe and/or resolve the information which serves as the basis for trust evaluation
        candidateCredential - the untrusted candidate credential containing the validation key for the signature (optional)
        Returns:
        true if the signature was valid for the provided content and was signed by a key contained within a credential established as trusted based on the supplied criteria, otherwise false
        Throws:
        SecurityException - thrown if there is a problem attempting to verify the signature such as the signature algorithm not being supported

                            throws SecurityException
        Attempt to establish trust by resolving signature verification credentials from the Signature's KeyInfo. If any credentials so resolved correctly verify the signature, attempt to establish trust using subclass-specific trust logic against trusted information as implemented in evaluateTrust(Credential, Object).
        Parameters:
        signature - the Signature to evaluate
        trustBasis - the information which serves as the basis for trust evaluation
        Returns:
        true if the signature is verified by any KeyInfo-derived credential which can be established as trusted, otherwise false
        Throws:
        SecurityException - if an error occurs during signature verification or trust processing
