Class SPKAC

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.cert.SPKAC

public class SPKAC

extends java.lang.Object

An implementation of Signed Public Key And Challenge (SPKAC), which is used by Netscape Navigator browser to request certificates.

The SPKAC class can be used by the X509 class to generate X509 certificates.

Constructor Summary

SPKAC()

SPKAC(KeyPair kp)
Creates a new SPKAC.

SPKAC(KeyPair kp, RandomBitsSource rbs)
Creates a new SPKAC.

SPKAC(java.lang.String challenge, KeyPair kp, RandomBitsSource rbs)

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getChallenge() Returns the challenge string.

void	input(java.io.InputStream is) Inputs this SPKAC from a stream in binary DER-encoded form.
void	input(java.lang.String data) Input from a base64-encoded string.
int	length() Returns length.
void	output(java.io.OutputStream os) Output to the specified output stream.
java.lang.String	toBase64() Converts this SPKAC into a base64-encoded string.

Constructor Detail

SPKAC

public SPKAC()

SPKAC

public SPKAC(KeyPair kp)

Creates a new SPKAC. Sets the challenge to an empty string.

SPKAC

public SPKAC(KeyPair kp,
             RandomBitsSource rbs)

Creates a new SPKAC. Sets the challenge to an empty string.

Parameters:

kp - the key pair

rbs - the random bits source to be used for the signing operation, if needed

SPKAC

public SPKAC(java.lang.String challenge,
             KeyPair kp,
             RandomBitsSource rbs)

Method Detail

getPublicKey

public PublicKey getPublicKey()

Get the public key.

getChallenge

public java.lang.String getChallenge()

Returns the challenge string.

output

public void output(java.io.OutputStream os)
            throws java.io.IOException

Output to the specified output stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

input

public void input(java.io.InputStream is)
           throws java.io.IOException

Inputs this SPKAC from a stream in binary DER-encoded form.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there was an I/O error, or the SPKAC is invalid (e.g., the signature is incorrect, or the challenge does not equal the expected value).

input

public void input(java.lang.String data)
           throws java.io.IOException

Input from a base64-encoded string.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

length

public int length()

Returns length.

toBase64

public java.lang.String toBase64()
                          throws java.io.IOException

Converts this SPKAC into a base64-encoded string.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
