Interface SecurityAssertion

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConfidentialityAssertion, ElementConfidentialityAssertion, ElementIntegrityAssertion, IdentityAssertion, IntegrityAssertion

public interface SecurityAssertion

SecurityAssertion.java The SecurityAssertion interface marks classes being security assertions and provides simple type checking interface. SecurityAssertions represent the set of security claims that have been verified as result of some security processing. For example, a digital signature verified with x509 certificate will provide assertions about the integrity of the message and the identity of the sender. Created: Thu Aug 8 09:02:14 2002

getAssertionType

String getAssertionType()

Deprecated. 

getAssertionType returns the type of the assertion (e.g. identity, integrity, confidentiality) as a string.

Returns:

a String value representing the assertion type

getAssertionTypeCode

int getAssertionTypeCode()

Deprecated. 

Returns an integer that uniquely identifies the type of assertion.

Returns:

isAssertionType

boolean isAssertionType(String assertionType)

Deprecated. 

isAssertionType tests to see whether the type of the assertion matches the passed in type.

Parameters:

assertionType - a String value

Returns:

a boolean value indicating the match result.

repudiable

boolean repudiable()

Deprecated. 

repudiable returns repudiablility of an assertion -- i.e. can the creator reasonably deny that they performed the operation that backs this assertion. This is generally true for public/private key based operations where the operation is performed by the private key that is available only to a single individual or entity. True non-repudiation is only acheived in the context of solid practices (e.g. secure storage of keys, regular updates of revocation lists, certificate chain validation, etc.) and binding agreements between parties. This property indicates only that the backing operation supports non-repudiation.

Returns:

a boolean value
