## Detailed Description

this class provides helper functions for creating and verifying digital signatures.

It encapsulates most of the code that was part of the main command line program "dcmsign" in prior DCMTK releases.

Remarks
  this class is only available if DCMTK is compiled with OpenSSL support enabled.
