Overview

This section helps you to get familiar with the message integrity concept and its features.

Message Integrity is a solution for handling messages securely. You need to sign the outgoing message and verify the message using the signature.

You can sign or verify a message by using a Symmetric or Asymmetric Key. Also, there are solutions to manage keys securely.

Features of TAFJ Message Integrity

• It stores the security keys in Java keystore.
• It provides an API to sign the outward message and verify the inward message by using the keys stored in the keystore, which can be accessed from both JBC and Java.
  • Sign: It is used to sign the message and it will provide the signature or hash value for the message using the configured keys. For XML type messages, the signature element is appended to the actual message.
  • Verify: It is used to verify the message and it will return 0 in case of successful verification.
