oracle.security.crypto.asn1
Class ASN1String

java.lang.Object
oracle.security.crypto.asn1.ASN1String

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Object, ASN1TaggedObject, Streamable

public class ASN1String

extends java.lang.Object

implements ASN1TaggedObject

Various universal ASN.1 string types.

The following types are supported.

• PRINTABLE_STRING
• T61STRING
• IA5STRING
• GRAPHIC_STRING
• VISIBLE_STRING
• GENERAL_STRING
• BMP_STRING
• UNIVERSAL_STRING
• UTF8_STRING

Of these, only BMP_STRING and UTF_STRING allow the representation of Unicode (16-bit) characters. All others treat strings consisting of 8-bit characters only.

The default is IA5STRING.

The input may be any valid BER encoding of one of the above types. The output is always a DER encoding.

Constructor Summary

ASN1String(java.io.InputStream is)

ASN1String(java.lang.String value)
Create a new ASN1String with the given string value and the ASN1.IA5STRING type.

ASN1String(java.lang.String value, int type)
