Package org.bouncycastle.asn1

Class ASN1UniversalString

java.lang.Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive
org.bouncycastle.asn1.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 Details

    • getInstance

      public static ASN1UniversalString getInstance(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:
      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:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.
