The crypto package provides types used by services in net.corda.v5.application.crypto. The following types are available:

  • DigitalSignature is used to identify the owner of the signing key used to create the signature.
  • SecureHash is a cryptographically secure hash value, computed by a specified digest algorithm.
  • SignatureSpec is a digital signature scheme.

For more information, see the documentation for the package in the Java API documentation.

Corda supports the following SignatureSpecs (signature schemes) for creating the following objects:

  • SHA256withRSA
  • SHA384withRSA
  • SHA512withRSA
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA256
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA384
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA512
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA256 and MGF1
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA384 and MGF1
  • RSASSA-PSS with SHA512 and MGF1
  • SHA256withECDSA
  • SHA384withECDSA
  • SHA512withECDSA
  • EdDSA
  • SHA512withSPHINCS256
  • SM3withSM2
  • SHA256withSM2
  • GOST3411withGOST3410

SignatureSpecService ensures that you do not pass the wrong signature spec for a signing-key type. It takes in a key and, optionally, a digest algorithm, and returns the appropriate default signature spec.
