@Internal
java.lang.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(java.io.InputStream toSign,
          java.io.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(java.io.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

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