    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `String` | `getKeyId()` | Returns the id of the key that will be used for signing.
    `String` | `getName()` | An identifying name for this signatory.
    `byte[]` | `sign​(InputStream toSign)` | Exhausts `toSign`, and returns the raw signature bytes.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getName

          @Internal
          String getName()

      An identifying name for this signatory.

      The name must be constant for the life of the signatory and should uniquely identify it within a project.

    - #### sign

          void sign​(InputStream toSign,
                    OutputStream destination)

      Exhausts `toSign`, and writes the signature to `signatureDestination`. The caller is responsible for closing the streams, though the output WILL be flushed.
      Parameters:
        `toSign` - The source of the data to be signed
        `destination` - Where the signature will be written to

    - #### sign

          byte[] sign​(InputStream toSign)

      Exhausts `toSign`, and returns the raw signature bytes.
      Parameters:
        `toSign` - The source of the data to be signed
      Returns:
        The raw bytes of the signature

    - #### getKeyId

          @Input
          @Optional
          String getKeyId()

      Returns the id of the key that will be used for signing.
      Returns:
        The key id
