    Methods in java.security that throw SignatureException
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description

    `protected abstract byte[]` | SignatureSpi.`engineSign()` Returns the signature bytes of all the data updated so far.
    `protected int` | SignatureSpi.`engineSign(byte[] outbuf, int offset, int len)` Finishes this signature operation and stores the resulting signature bytes in the provided buffer `outbuf`, starting at `offset`.
    `protected abstract void` | SignatureSpi.`engineUpdate(byte b)` Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified byte.
    `protected abstract void` | SignatureSpi.`engineUpdate(byte[] b, int off, int len)` Updates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
    `protected abstract boolean` | SignatureSpi.`engineVerify(byte[] sigBytes)` Verifies the passed-in signature.
    `protected boolean` | SignatureSpi.`engineVerify(byte[] sigBytes, int offset, int length)` Verifies the passed-in signature in the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
    `byte[]` | Signature.`sign()` Returns the signature bytes of all the data updated.
    `int` | Signature.`sign(byte[] outbuf, int offset, int len)` Finishes the signature operation and stores the resulting signature bytes in the provided buffer `outbuf`, starting at `offset`.
    `void` | Signature.`update(byte b)` Updates the data to be signed or verified by a byte.
    `void` | Signature.`update(byte[] data)` Updates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes.
    `void` | Signature.`update(byte[] data, int off, int len)` Updates the data to be signed or verified, using the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
    `void` | Signature.`update(ByteBuffer data)` Updates the data to be signed or verified using the specified ByteBuffer.
    `boolean` | Signature.`verify(byte[] signature)` Verifies the passed-in signature.
    `boolean` | Signature.`verify(byte[] signature, int offset, int length)` Verifies the passed-in signature in the specified array of bytes, starting at the specified offset.
    `boolean` | SignedObject.`verify(PublicKey verificationKey, Signature verificationEngine)` Verifies that the signature in this SignedObject is the valid signature for the object stored inside, with the given verification key, using the designated verification engine.

    Constructors in java.security that throw SignatureException
    Constructor and Description
    `SignedObject(Serializable object, PrivateKey signingKey, Signature signingEngine)` Constructs a SignedObject from any Serializable object.
