Class ProofOfPossession

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.cmp.ProofOfPossession

Direct Known Subclasses:

KeyAgreementPOP, KeyEnciphermentPOP, RAVerifiedPOP, SignaturePOP

public abstract class ProofOfPossession

extends java.lang.Object

CRMF base class for proof of possession values which are used to prove that an end entity actually has possession of the private key for the certificate being requested.

Three types of proof of possession values are supported:

• raVerified: Proof-of-possession has already been verfied by the RA.
• signature: Used for signature keys (typical case).
• keyEncipherment: Used for key encipherment keys.
• keyAgreement: Used for key agreement keys.
