Method Summary

ContentVerifier	get(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier verifierAlgorithmIdentifier) Return a ContentVerifier that matches the passed in algorithm identifier,
X509CertificateHolder	getAssociatedCertificate() Return the associated certificate if there is one.
boolean	hasAssociatedCertificate() Return whether or not this verifier has a certificate associated with it.

Method Detail

hasAssociatedCertificate

public boolean hasAssociatedCertificate()

Return whether or not this verifier has a certificate associated with it.

Returns:

true if there is an associated certificate, false otherwise.

getAssociatedCertificate

public X509CertificateHolder getAssociatedCertificate()

Return the associated certificate if there is one.

Returns:

a holder containing the associated certificate if there is one, null if there is not.
