Method Detail

fromByteArray

public static ASN1Primitive fromByteArray(byte[] data)
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Create a base ASN.1 object from a byte stream.

Parameters:

data - the byte stream to parse.

Returns:

the base ASN.1 object represented by the byte stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is a problem parsing the data, or parsing the stream did not exhaust the available data.

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class ASN1Object

toASN1Primitive

Description copied from class: ASN1Object

Method providing a primitive representation of this object suitable for encoding.

Specified by:

toASN1Primitive in interface ASN1Encodable

Specified by:

toASN1Primitive in class ASN1Object

Returns:

a primitive representation of this object.

hashCode

public abstract int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class ASN1Object
