I have this string which I have to sign with a certificate and .key file. I never had any problems doing it, till the String contained Latin chars (ñ, é, í, etc). The string is converted to UTF-8 then signed with SHA1RSA algorithm, ending in a Base64 encoding. However the signing is giving me a weird answer and the Base64 encoding ends with a wrong format
cadena = "||3.2|2013-01-25T17:24:00|ingreso|PAGO EN UNA SOLA EXHIBICION|6386.21|MXN|7408.00|No identificado|NAUCALPAN DE JUÁREZ, ESTADO DE MEXICO|CAOS640116HT5|OSCAR MARTIN CARRERA|CTO.

Signature rsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withRSA");
rsa.initSign(pk);
rsa.update(cadena.getBytes("UTF-8"));
signature = rsa.sign();
sello = Base64.encodeBase64String(signature);
I omitted obtaining the key and certificate because this procedure works with strings without these characters.
Turns out the encoding and signing was being done right, however it returned a “\r\n” that should not been there. All it took was getting rid of it for it to work correctly.
