Return true if this Signature object can be used for signing. False otherwise.
Returns:true if we are capable of making signatures.

Return the current version of the private key with the updated state.

Note: calling this method will effectively disable the Signature object from being used for further signature generation without another call to initSign().

Returns:an updated private key object, which can be used for later signature generation.
