Method Detail

verify

boolean verify(byte[] msg,
               byte[] signature)

Returns true if the verification of signature on the sha-256 of msg is successful or false if not.

Returns:

true if the signature is correct

toProto

DarcProto.Identity toProto()

Creates a protobuf-representation of the implementation. The protobuf representation has to hold all necessary fields to represent any of the identity implementations.

Returns:

the protobuf-representation of the Identity

equals

boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

typeString

String typeString()

toString

String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getPublicBytes

byte[] getPublicBytes()
