public abstract class ContentSigner {

    
Generates a PKCS #7 signed data message.
This method is used when the signature has already been generated.
The signature, the signer's details, and optionally a signature
timestamp and the content that was signed, are all packaged into a
signed data message.

Params:
  • parameters – The non-null input parameters.
  • omitContent – true if the content should be omitted from the
        signed data message. Otherwise the content is included.
  • applyTimestamp – true if the signature should be timestamped.
        Otherwise timestamping is not performed.
Throws:
  • NoSuchAlgorithmException – The exception is thrown if the signature
        algorithm is unrecognised.
  • CertificateException – The exception is thrown if an error occurs
        while processing the signer's certificate or the TSA's
        certificate.
  • IOException – The exception is thrown if an error occurs while
        generating the signature timestamp or while generating the signed
        data message.
  • NullPointerException – The exception is thrown if parameters is
        null.
Returns:A PKCS #7 signed data message.
