Constructor Detail

JDK11Certificate

public JDK11Certificate(X509 x509)

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

getIssuerCertificate

public JDK11Certificate getIssuerCertificate()

Returns the issuer's certificate as a java.security.Certificate.

getFingerprint

public byte[] getFingerprint()

Returns the certificate's fingerprint. This is the MD5 of the DER encoded X.509 certificate. Is presumed difficult to construct a different certificate with the identical fingerprint.

getSubjectOrgUnit

public java.lang.String getSubjectOrgUnit()

Returns the Subject Organization Unit, which is a String.

getGuarantor

public java.security.Principal getGuarantor()

Returns the guarantor of the certificate, that is, the principal guaranteeing that the public key associated with this certificate is that of the principal associated with this certificate. For X.509 certificates, the guarantor will typically be a Certificate Authority (such as the United States Postal Service or Verisign, Inc.).

Specified by:

getGuarantor in interface java.security.Certificate

Returns:

the guarantor which guaranteed the principal-key binding.

getPrincipal

public java.security.Principal getPrincipal()

Returns the principal of the principal-key pair being guaranteed by the guarantor.

Specified by:

getPrincipal in interface java.security.Certificate

Returns:

the principal to which this certificate is bound.

getPublicKey

public java.security.PublicKey getPublicKey()

Returns the key of the principal-key pair being guaranteed by the guarantor.

Specified by:

getPublicKey in interface java.security.Certificate

Returns:

the public key that this certificate certifies belongs to a particular principal.

encode

public void encode(java.io.OutputStream stream)
            throws java.security.KeyException,
                   java.io.IOException

Encodes the certificate to an output stream in a format that can be decoded by the decode method.

Specified by:

encode in interface java.security.Certificate

Parameters:

stream - the output stream to which to encode the certificate.

Throws:

java.security.KeyException - if the certificate is not properly initialized, or data is missing, etc.

java.io.IOException - if a stream exception occurs while trying to output the encoded certificate to the output stream.

See Also:

decode(java.io.InputStream), getFormat()

decode

public void decode(java.io.InputStream stream)
            throws java.security.KeyException,
                   java.io.IOException

Decodes a certificate from an input stream. The format should be that returned by getFormat and produced by encode.

Specified by:

decode in interface java.security.Certificate

Parameters:

stream - the input stream from which to fetch the data being decoded.

Throws:

java.security.KeyException - if the certificate is not properly initialized, or data is missing, etc.

java.io.IOException - if an exception occurs while trying to input the encoded certificate from the input stream.

See Also:

encode(java.io.OutputStream), getFormat()

getFormat

public java.lang.String getFormat()

Returns the name of the coding format. This is used as a hint to find an appropriate parser. It could be "X.509", "PGP", etc. This is the format produced and understood by the encode and decode methods.

Specified by:

getFormat in interface java.security.Certificate

Returns:

the name of the coding format.

toString

public java.lang.String toString(boolean detailed)

Returns a string that represents the contents of the certificate.

Specified by:

toString in interface java.security.Certificate

Parameters:

detailed - whether or not to give detailed information about the certificate.
