All Implemented Interfaces:

org.bouncycastle.util.Encodable, PacketTags, PublicKeyAlgorithmTags

Direct Known Subclasses:

PublicSubkeyPacket

public class PublicKeyPacket

extends ContainedPacket

implements PublicKeyAlgorithmTags

Base class for OpenPGP public (primary) keys. The public key packet holds the public parameters of an OpenPGP key pair. An OpenPGP certificate (transferable public key) consists of one primary key and optionally multiple subkey packets.

RFC4880 - Public-Key Packet, RFC9580 - Public-Key Packet, LibrePGP - Public-Key Packet

Deprecated. use versioned PublicKeyPacket(int, int, Date, BCPGKey) instead

PublicKeyPacket(int version, int algorithm, java.util.Date time, BCPGKey key)
Construct an OpenPGP public primary key packet.

Method Summary

void	encode(BCPGOutputStream out) Encode the packet to the OpenPGP BCPGOutputStream.
int	getAlgorithm() Return the algorithm id of the public key.
byte[]	getEncodedContents() Return the encoded packet contents without the packet frame.
BCPGKey	getKey() Return the key object.

Constructor Detail

PublicKeyPacket

public PublicKeyPacket(int algorithm,
                       java.util.Date time,
                       BCPGKey key)

Deprecated. use versioned PublicKeyPacket(int, int, Date, BCPGKey) instead

Construct version 4 public primary key packet.

Parameters:

algorithm - public key algorithm id

time - creation time

key - key object

PublicKeyPacket

public PublicKeyPacket(int version,
                       int algorithm,
                       java.util.Date time,
                       BCPGKey key)

Construct an OpenPGP public primary key packet.

Parameters:

version - packet version

algorithm - public key algorithm id

time - creation time

key - key object

Method Detail

getVersion

public int getVersion()

Return the packet version.

Returns:

packet version

getAlgorithm

public int getAlgorithm()

Return the algorithm id of the public key.

Returns:

algorithm id

getValidDays

public int getValidDays()

Deprecated. v4 and v6 keys instead signal their expiration time via the KeyExpirationTime signature subpacket.

Only for v3 keys - The time in days since the keys creation, during which the key is valid.

Returns:

v3 key validity period in days since creation.

getTime

public java.util.Date getTime()

Return the keys creation time.

Returns:

creation time of the key

getKey

public BCPGKey getKey()

Return the key object.

Returns:

key

getEncodedContents

public byte[] getEncodedContents()
                          throws java.io.IOException

Return the encoded packet contents without the packet frame.

Returns:

encoded packet contents

Throws:

java.io.IOException -

encode

public void encode(BCPGOutputStream out)
            throws java.io.IOException

Encode the packet to the OpenPGP BCPGOutputStream. If the BCPGOutputStream packet format is set to PacketFormat.ROUNDTRIP, the result of Packet.hasNewPacketFormat() determines, which packet format is used to encode the packet. Otherwise, the BCPGOutputStream dictates which format to use.

Overrides:

encode in class ContainedPacket

Parameters:

out - packet output stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException -

getKeyID

public static long getKeyID(PublicKeyPacket publicPk,
                            byte[] fingerprint)
