Proves the public key identity by signing the given data- Parameters:
session- TheSessionContextfor calling this method - may benullif not called within a session contextalgo- Recommended signature algorithm - ifnull/empty then one will be selected based on the key type and/or signature factories. Note: even if specific algorithm specified, the implementation may disregard and choose anotherdata- Data to sign- Returns:
- used algorithm + signed data - using the identity
- Throws:
Exception- If failed to sign the data
