Prepare Initial Program Structure

Here's the basic structure of the VerSig program created in the following parts of this lesson. Place it in a file called VerSig.java:

import java.io.*;
import java.security.*;
import java.security.spec.*;

class VerSig {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        /* Verify a DSA signature */

        if (args.length != 3) {
            System.out.println("Usage: VerSig publickeyfile signaturefile datafile");
            }
        else try{

        // the rest of the code goes here

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Caught exception " + e.toString());
        }
    }

}
