Package org.bouncycastle.asn1

Class ASN1UniversalString

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ASN1Encodable, ASN1String, Encodable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    DERUniversalString
    public abstract class ASN1UniversalString
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String
    ASN.1 UniversalString object - encodes UNICODE (ISO 10646) characters using 32-bit format. In Java we have no way of representing this directly so we rely on byte arrays to carry these.

    • Method Detail

      • getInstance

        public static ASN1UniversalString getInstance​(java.lang.Object obj)
        Return a Universal String from the passed in object.
        Parameters:
        obj - an ASN1UniversalString or an object that can be converted into one.
        Returns:
        an ASN1UniversalString instance, or null
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

      • getInstance

        public static ASN1UniversalString getInstance​(ASN1TaggedObject taggedObject,
                                              boolean explicit)
        Return a Universal String from a tagged object.
        Parameters:
        taggedObject - the tagged object holding the object we want
        explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.
        Returns:
        a ASN1UniversalString instance, or null
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

      • getString

        public final java.lang.String getString()

        Specified by:
        getString in interface ASN1String
        Returns:
        a Java String representation of this STRING.
