All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Externalizable, java.io.Serializable

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

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

Constructor Detail

SPKAC

public SPKAC()

Creates a new empty instance. This constructor is to be used with serialization or with the input method.

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)

Creates a new SPKAC object with the specified challenge and key pair.

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).

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

public void writeExternal(java.io.ObjectOutput os)
                   throws java.io.IOException

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface java.io.Externalizable

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readExternal

public void readExternal(java.io.ObjectInput is)
                  throws java.io.IOException,
                         java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Specified by:
