# Interface SignedInfo

All Superinterfaces:
  `XMLStructure`

public interface SignedInfo extends XMLStructure
An representation of the XML `SignedInfo` element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:

    <element name="SignedInfo" type="ds:SignedInfoType"/>
    <complexType name="SignedInfoType">
      <sequence>
        <element ref="ds:CanonicalizationMethod"/>
        <element ref="ds:SignatureMethod"/>
        <element ref="ds:Reference" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
      </sequence>
      <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
    </complexType>

A `SignedInfo` instance may be created by invoking one of the `newSignedInfo` methods of the `XMLSignatureFactory` class.

Since:
  1.6

## Method Details

### getCanonicalizationMethod

CanonicalizationMethod getCanonicalizationMethod()
Returns the canonicalization method of this `SignedInfo`.

Returns:
  the canonicalization method

### getSignatureMethod

SignatureMethod getSignatureMethod()
Returns the signature method of this `SignedInfo`.

Returns:
  the signature method

### getReferences

List<Reference> getReferences()
Returns an `unmodifiable list` of one or more `Reference`s.

Returns:
  an unmodifiable list of one or more `Reference`s

### getId

String getId()
Returns the optional `Id` attribute of this `SignedInfo`.

Returns:

### getCanonicalizedData

InputStream getCanonicalizedData()
Returns the canonicalized signed info bytes after a signing or validation operation. This method is useful for debugging.

Returns:
  an `InputStream` containing the canonicalized bytes, or `null` if this `SignedInfo` has not been signed or validated yet
