Method Detail

signers

java.util.Enumeration signers()

Returns the list of signers.

Returns:

A Vector containing CMSSignerInfo objects.

getCertificates

java.util.Vector getCertificates()

Returns the list of X509 certificates included with this signed data object.

Returns:

A Vector containing X509 objects or null if no list of certificates is present.

getCRLs

java.util.Vector getCRLs()

Returns the list of CRLs included with this signed data object.

Returns:

A Vector containing CRL objects or null if no list of CRLs is present.

getEnclosedBodyPart

MimeBodyPart getEnclosedBodyPart()
                                 throws oracle.security.crypto.util.InvalidInputException,
                                        MessagingException

Returns the message content that was signed.

Returns:

The message content as a MimeBodyPart.

Throws:

oracle.security.crypto.util.InvalidInputException - The message content type is not correct.

MessagingException - An error occurred while initializing the content.

verifySignature

void verifySignature(java.security.cert.X509Certificate signerCert)
                     throws oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException,
                            java.security.SignatureException

Returns successfully if this CMS signed data object contains a signature which is validated by the given certificate; otherwise throws an AuthenticationException.

This method verifies the specified signature directly and ignores any certificates or CRLs which may be contained in this CMS object. A more complex verification process, which does make use of attached certificates and CRLs, is provided by the verify method.

Note the changes in the method signature

Previously public void verifySignature (X509)

Now public void verifySignature(X509Certificate)

Throws:

java.security.SignatureException - if no signature corresponding to the given certificate exists

oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException - if the signature is not valid, or could not be verified for some reason (e.g., the algorithm identifier is unrecognized)

verifySignature

void verifySignature(java.security.cert.X509Certificate signerCert,
                     Address[] senderAddresses)
                     throws oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException,
                            java.security.SignatureException

Does the same thing as #verifySignature(X509), except that in addition, it checks to make sure that the email address in the given certificate is present in the specified list of sender addresses.

The list of sender addresses should be obtained by invoking the getFrom() method on the instance of javax.mail.Message which contains this object as its content.

Note the changes in the method signature

Previously public void verifySignature (X509, Address[])

Now public void verifySignature(X509Certificate, Address[])

Throws:

oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException

java.security.SignatureException

verify

void verify(oracle.security.crypto.cert.CertificateTrustPolicy trustPolicy)
            throws oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException

Returns normally if this CMS signed data object contains at least one valid signature, according to the given trust policy; otherwise throws an AuthenticationException.

In order to be considered valid, there must be at least one signature on this CMS message which is validated by one of the certificates included with it; furthermore, the validating certificate must itself be valid according to the given certificate trust policy. This latter validation process may involve examining the other certificates or CRLs included with this object, if called for by the trust policy.

If a signature is encountered for which a certification path can be found, but is invalid, an AuthenticationException will be created, but will not be thrown until all other signatures have been checked. If another signature is found which is valid, then the method simply returns and no exception at all is thrown.

Throws:

oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException - if there is no valid signature

verify

void verify(oracle.security.crypto.cert.CertificateTrustPolicy trustPolicy,
            Address[] senderAddresses)
            throws oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException

Does the same thing as verify(CertificateTrustPolicy), except that in addition, it checks to make sure that the terminating certificate of the validating certificate chain contains an email address which is present in the specified list of sender addresses.

The list of sender addresses should be obtained by invoking the getFrom() method on the instance of javax.mail.Message which contains this object as its content.

Throws:

oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException

getESSSecurityLabel

ESSSecurityLabel getESSSecurityLabel(java.security.cert.X509Certificate signerCert)
                                     throws oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException,
                                            java.security.SignatureException

Returns the ESSSecurityLabel if present or null.

The signature of the SignerInfo that covers the ESSSecurityLabel is first verified. Then, it verifies that all the ESSSecurityLabel's in the signed message are identical.

Note the changes in the method signature

Previously public ESSSecurityLabel getESSSecurityLabel(X509)

Now public ESSSecurityLabel getESSSecurityLabel(X509Certificate)

Throws:

oracle.security.crypto.core.AuthenticationException

java.security.SignatureException

                                            java.security.SignatureException

Returns the EquivalentLabels if present or null.

The signature of the SignerInfo that covers the EquivalentLabels is first verified. Then, it verifies that all the EquivalentLabels in the signed message are identical.

Note the changes in the method signature

Previously public EquivalentLabels getEquivalentLabels(X509)

Now public EquivalentLabels getEquivalentLabels(X509Certificate)

Throws:

                                                java.security.SignatureException

Returns the SigningCertificate Attribute if present or null.

The signature of the SignerInfo that covers the SigningCertificate is verified.

Note the changes in the method signature

Previously public SigningCertificate getSigningCertificate(X509)

Now public SigningCertificate getSigningCertificate(X509Certificate)

Throws:

getMLExpansionHistory

MLExpansionHistory getMLExpansionHistory(java.security.cert.X509Certificate signerCert)
