public interface AlgorithmNameFinder

General finder for converting OIDs and AlgorithmIdentifiers into strings.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)	Return a string representation of the passed in objectIdentifier.
String	getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier algorithmIdentifier)	Return a string representation of the passed in AlgorithmIdentifier, based on the OID in the AlgorithmField, with the parameters included where appropriate.
boolean	hasAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)	Return true if the passed in objectIdentifier has a "human friendly" name associated with it.

Method Details

hasAlgorithmName

boolean hasAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)

Return true if the passed in objectIdentifier has a "human friendly" name associated with it.

Parameters:

objectIdentifier - the OID of interest.

Returns:

true if a name lookup exists for the OID, false otherwise.

getAlgorithmName

String getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier objectIdentifier)

Return a string representation of the passed in objectIdentifier.

Parameters:

objectIdentifier - the OID of interest.

Returns:

a "human friendly" representation of the OID, the OID as a string if none available.

getAlgorithmName

String getAlgorithmName(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier algorithmIdentifier)

Return a string representation of the passed in AlgorithmIdentifier, based on the OID in the AlgorithmField, with the parameters included where appropriate.

Parameters:

algorithmIdentifier - the AlgorithmIdentifier of interest.

Returns:

a "human friendly" representation of the algorithmIdentifier, the identifiers OID as a string if none available.
