      extended byorg.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.asymmetric.x509.CertificateFactory

public class CertificateFactory
extends java.security.cert.CertificateFactorySpi

class for dealing with X509 certificates.

At the moment this will deal with "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" to "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" base 64 encoded certs, as well as the BER binaries of certificates and some classes of PKCS#7 objects.

CertificateFactory

public CertificateFactory()
Method Detail

createCRL

protected java.security.cert.CRL createCRL(CertificateList c)
                                    throws java.security.cert.CRLException
Throws:
java.security.cert.CRLException

engineGenerateCertificate

public java.security.cert.Certificate engineGenerateCertificate(java.io.InputStream in)
                                                         throws java.security.cert.CertificateException
Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream inStream.

Throws:
java.security.cert.CertificateException

engineGenerateCertificates

public java.util.Collection engineGenerateCertificates(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                                throws java.security.cert.CertificateException
Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the certificates read from the given input stream inStream.

Throws:
java.security.cert.CertificateException

engineGenerateCRL

public java.security.cert.CRL engineGenerateCRL(java.io.InputStream in)
                                         throws java.security.cert.CRLException
Generates a certificate revocation list (CRL) object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream inStream.

Throws:
java.security.cert.CRLException

engineGenerateCRLs

public java.util.Collection engineGenerateCRLs(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                                        throws java.security.cert.CRLException
Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the CRLs read from the given input stream inStream. The inStream may contain a sequence of DER-encoded CRLs, or a PKCS#7 CRL set. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only signficant field being crls. In particular the signature and the contents are ignored.

Throws:
java.security.cert.CRLException

engineGetCertPathEncodings

public java.util.Iterator engineGetCertPathEncodings()

engineGenerateCertPath

public java.security.cert.CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(java.io.InputStream inStream)

Throws:
java.security.cert.CertificateException

                                                   throws java.security.cert.CertificateException
Throws:
java.security.cert.CertificateException

engineGenerateCertPath

public java.security.cert.CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(java.util.List certificates)
                                                   throws java.security.cert.CertificateException
Throws:
java.security.cert.CertificateException
