Class CertDiscoveryMethod

java.lang.Object
  org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
      org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.CertDiscoveryMethod

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Choice, ASN1Encodable, Encodable

public class CertDiscoveryMethod

extends ASN1Object

implements ASN1Choice

The method used to retrieve a related certificate, as defined by draft-ietf-lamps-certdiscovery-04 (A Mechanism for X.509 Certificate Discovery). CertDiscoveryMethod ::= CHOICE { byUri IA5String, byInclusion Certificate, byLocalPolicy NULL, byOther [0] INSTANCE OF OTHER-DISCOVERY-METHOD } OTHER-DISCOVERY-METHOD ::= TYPE-IDENTIFIER The module is defined with EXPLICIT TAGS, so is an explicitly tagged SEQUENCE { type-id OBJECT IDENTIFIER, value [0] EXPLICIT ANY DEFINED BY type-id }, the same shape as an X.509 OtherName.

carries the URI from which the Referenced Certificate may be retrieved, embeds the Referenced Certificate directly, signals that the relying party is expected to resolve it through local configuration, and carries a method defined outside the draft, identified by its type-id.

Method Summary

static CertDiscoveryMethod	byInclusion(Certificate certificate) Create a discovery method embedding the supplied certificate directly.
static CertDiscoveryMethod	byLocalPolicy() Create a discovery method (the wire form is ASN.1 NULL; the relying party resolves the certificate through local configuration).
static CertDiscoveryMethod	byOther(ASN1ObjectIdentifier methodType, ASN1Encodable methodValue) Create a discovery method, an instance of the OTHER-DISCOVERY-METHOD information object class.
static CertDiscoveryMethod	byUri(java.lang.String uri) Create a discovery method carrying the supplied URI.
Certificate	getCertificate() Return the certificate carried by a method, or for the other alternatives.
static CertDiscoveryMethod	getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)
ASN1ObjectIdentifier	getOtherMethodType() Return the type-id of a method, or for the other alternatives.
ASN1Encodable	getOtherMethodValue() Return the value of a method, or for the other alternatives.
int	getType() Return one of byUri, byInclusion, byLocalPolicy, byOther.
java.lang.String	getUri() Return the URI carried by a method, or for the other alternatives.
ASN1Primitive	toASN1Primitive() Method providing a primitive representation of this object suitable for encoding.

Method Detail

byUri

public static CertDiscoveryMethod byUri(java.lang.String uri)

Create a discovery method carrying the supplied URI.

byInclusion

public static CertDiscoveryMethod byInclusion(Certificate certificate)

Create a discovery method embedding the supplied certificate directly.

byLocalPolicy

public static CertDiscoveryMethod byLocalPolicy()

Create a discovery method (the wire form is ASN.1 NULL; the relying party resolves the certificate through local configuration).

byOther

public static CertDiscoveryMethod byOther(ASN1ObjectIdentifier methodType,
                                          ASN1Encodable methodValue)

Create a discovery method, an instance of the OTHER-DISCOVERY-METHOD information object class.

Parameters:

methodType - the type-id identifying the method.

methodValue - the value associated with that type-id.

getInstance

public static CertDiscoveryMethod getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)

getType

public int getType()

Return one of byUri, byInclusion, byLocalPolicy, byOther.

getUri

public java.lang.String getUri()

Return the URI carried by a method, or for the other alternatives.

getCertificate

public Certificate getCertificate()

Return the certificate carried by a method, or for the other alternatives.

getOtherMethodType

public ASN1ObjectIdentifier getOtherMethodType()

Return the type-id of a method, or for the other alternatives.

getOtherMethodValue

public ASN1Encodable getOtherMethodValue()

Return the value of a method, or for the other alternatives.
