TSBMessageSignatureType type

TSBMessageSignatureType

Defines possible signature types.

Declaration

[C#]
public enum TSBMessageSignatureType { mstPublicKey = 0, mstMAC = 1 };

[VB.NET]
    Enum TSBMessageSignatureType
        mstPublicKey = 0
        mstMAC = 1
    End Enum

[Pascal]
TSBMessageSignatureType = (mstPublicKey, mstMAC);

[C++]
typedef uint8_t TSBMessageSignatureTypeRaw;
typedef enum { mstPublicKey = 0, mstMAC = 1 } TSBMessageSignatureType;

[PHP]
    class TSBMessageSignatureType extends TSBBaseEnum {
        const mstPublicKey = 0;
        const mstMAC = 1;
    }

[Java]
public enum TSBMessageSignatureType { mstPublicKey, mstMAC }

Possible values

[.NET] [C++]	[Pascal]	Description
mstPublicKey = 0	mstPublicKey	Signature made with private RSA or DSA key.Signature of this type is generated by TElMessageSigner by default
mstMAC = 1	mstMAC	Message authentication code. Some secret key is generated. This key is used for message digest calculation. Then this secret key is encrypted for each message recipient's public key. So each recipient can verify if MAC is correct and find out if the message has been modified

Description

The main difference between these two types is that the first one has no recipients and it can be verified by anyone, and the second signature has no author but has one or more recipients (and only they can verify the signature).
