All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Externalizable, java.io.Serializable

public class Attribute
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Externalizable

An attribute, as defined in X.501 and used in various PKIX and PKCS protocols, consists of a type (OID) and a set of 1 or more values defined by the given type.

  Attribute ::= SEQUENCE {
  type    AttributeType,
  values  SET (1..MAX) OF AttributeValue
  }
 
  AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
 
  AttributeValue ::= ANY DEFINED BY AttributeType
