## Public Member Functions
void | InputSignature (PK_MessageAccumulator &messageAccumulator, const byte *signature, size_t signatureLength) const
| input signature into a message accumulator
bool | VerifyAndRestart (PK_MessageAccumulator &messageAccumulator) const
| check whether messageAccumulator contains a valid signature and message, and restart messageAccumulator
DecodingResult | RecoverAndRestart (byte *recoveredMessage, PK_MessageAccumulator &recoveryAccumulator) const
| recover a message from its signature
size_t | SignatureLength () const
| signature length if it only depends on the key, otherwise 0
size_t | MaxRecoverableLength () const
| length of longest message that can be recovered, or 0 if this signature scheme does not support message recovery
size_t | MaxRecoverableLengthFromSignatureLength (size_t signatureLength) const
| length of longest message that can be recovered from a signature of given length, or 0 if this signature scheme does not support message recovery
bool | IsProbabilistic () const
| requires a random number generator to sign
bool | AllowNonrecoverablePart () const
| whether or not a non-recoverable message part can be signed
bool | RecoverablePartFirst () const
| whether you must input the recoverable part before the non-recoverable part during signing
virtual PK_MessageAccumulator * | NewVerificationAccumulator () const=0
| create a new HashTransformation to accumulate the message to be verified
virtual bool | Verify (PK_MessageAccumulator *messageAccumulator) const
| check whether messageAccumulator contains a valid signature and message, and delete messageAccumulator (even in case of exception thrown)
virtual bool | VerifyMessage (const byte *message, size_t messageLen, const byte *signature, size_t signatureLength) const
| check whether input signature is a valid signature for input message
virtual DecodingResult | Recover (byte *recoveredMessage, PK_MessageAccumulator *messageAccumulator) const
| recover a message from its signature
virtual DecodingResult | RecoverMessage (byte *recoveredMessage, const byte *nonrecoverableMessage, size_t nonrecoverableMessageLength, const byte *signature, size_t signatureLength) const
| recover a message from its signature
virtual size_t | MaxSignatureLength (size_t recoverablePartLength=0) const
| maximum signature length produced for a given length of recoverable message part
virtual bool | SignatureUpfront () const
| if this function returns true, during verification you must input the signature before the message, otherwise you can input it at anytime */
