    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `byte[]` | `getRecoveredMessage()` Returns a reference to what message was recovered (if any).
    `boolean` | `hasFullMessage()` Returns true if the signer has recovered the full message as part of signature verification.
    `void` | `updateWithRecoveredMessage(byte[] signature)` Perform an update with the recovered message before adding any other data.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### hasFullMessage

          boolean hasFullMessage()

      Returns true if the signer has recovered the full message as part of signature verification.
      Returns:
        true if full message recovered.

    - #### getRecoveredMessage

          byte[] getRecoveredMessage()

      Returns a reference to what message was recovered (if any).
      Returns:
        full/partial message, null if nothing.

    - #### updateWithRecoveredMessage

          void updateWithRecoveredMessage(byte[] signature)
                                          throws InvalidCipherTextException

      Perform an update with the recovered message before adding any other data. This must be the first update method called, and calling it will result in the signer assuming that further calls to update will include message content past what is recoverable.
      Parameters:
        `signature` - the signature that we are in the process of verifying.
      Throws:
        `java.lang.IllegalStateException`
        `InvalidCipherTextException`
