Class AlgorithmIdentifier

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.core.AlgorithmIdentifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Object, java.lang.Cloneable, Streamable

Direct Known Subclasses:

CBCAlgorithmIdentifier, OAEPAlgorithmIdentifier, PBMacAlgID, RC2AlgorithmIdentifier

public class AlgorithmIdentifier

extends java.lang.Object

implements ASN1Object, java.lang.Cloneable

This class encapsulates an AlgorithmIdentifier object, as defined in X.509 and as used in several other standards, such as PKCS.

Instances consist of an OID which identifies the algorithm, together with an optional parameters object, which can be any ASN.1 object.

Instances are considered equal if they have the same OID and parameters, with the proviso that no distinction is made between the parameters being encoded as the ASN.1 NULL object and the parameters being omitted entirely.

Constructor Detail

AlgorithmIdentifier

public AlgorithmIdentifier(ASN1ObjectID oid,
                           ASN1Object parameters)

Creates a new algorithm identifier with the given algorithm OID and parameters.

Parameters:

oid - the OID which identifies the algorithm

parameters - the algorithm parameters

AlgorithmIdentifier

public AlgorithmIdentifier(ASN1ObjectID oid,
                           boolean useNULL)

Creates a new algorithm identifier with the given algorithm OID and no parameters. The flag indicates whether to omit the parameters altogether or insert an ASN.1 NULL object.

Parameters:

oid - the OID which identifies the algorithm

useNULL -

AlgorithmIdentifier

public AlgorithmIdentifier(ASN1ObjectID oid)

Creates a new algorithm identifier without parameters. An ASN.1 NULL type will be used for the parameters field.
