## Interface PGPDigestCalculator

-     public interface PGPDigestCalculator

  A digest calculator, which consumes a stream of data and computes a digest value over it.

- - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `int` | `getAlgorithm()` Return the `algorithm number` representing the digest implemented by this calculator.
    `byte[]` | `getDigest()` Return the digest calculated on what has been written to the calculator's output stream.
    `java.io.OutputStream` | `getOutputStream()` Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a digest.
    `void` | `reset()` Reset the underlying digest calculator

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getAlgorithm

          int getAlgorithm()

      Return the `algorithm number` representing the digest implemented by this calculator.
      Returns:
        the hash algorithm number

    - #### getOutputStream

          java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()

      Returns a stream that will accept data for the purpose of calculating a digest. Use org.bouncycastle.util.io.TeeOutputStream if you want to accumulate the data on the fly as well.
      Returns:
        an OutputStream that data to be digested can be written to.

    - #### getDigest

          byte[] getDigest()

      Return the digest calculated on what has been written to the calculator's output stream.
      Returns:
        a digest.

    - #### reset

          void reset()

      Reset the underlying digest calculator
