public class IdentityAssertion

extends Object

implements SecurityAssertion

IdentityAssertion.java This class represents an assertion about the identity of the sender. Created: Thu Aug 8 09:05:04 2002

NO_PROOF

public static final int NO_PROOF

Deprecated. 

See Also:

Constant Field Values

STRING_NO_PROOF

public static final String STRING_NO_PROOF

Deprecated. 

See Also:

Constant Field Values

POSSESSION_PROOF

public static final int POSSESSION_PROOF

Deprecated. 

An IdentityAssertion with proof type POSSESSION_PROOF is one that is backed by proof of possession of some unique identifying information. A most common proof is a Digital Signature backed by a digital signature -- the signature proves the sender has possession of the associated private key. Another common proof of possession is a a password digest, when computed with a nonce and/or timestamp.

Constant Field Values

STRING_POSSESSION_PROOF

public static final String STRING_POSSESSION_PROOF

Deprecated. 

See Also:

Constant Field Values

SHARED_SECRET_PROOF

public static final int SHARED_SECRET_PROOF

Deprecated. 

An IdentityAssertion with the proof type of SHARED_SECRET_PROOF is one that is backed by the presentation of a shared secret -- i.e. by the presentation of a password.

Constant Field Values

STRING_SHARED_SECRET_PROOF

public static final String STRING_SHARED_SECRET_PROOF

Deprecated.

Constant Field Values

getAssertionType

public String getAssertionType()

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: SecurityAssertion

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

Specified by:

getAssertionType in interface SecurityAssertion

Returns:

a String value representing the assertion type

getAssertionTypeCode

public int getAssertionTypeCode()

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: SecurityAssertion

Returns an integer that uniquely identifies the type of assertion.

Specified by:

getAssertionTypeCode in interface SecurityAssertion

isAssertionType

public boolean isAssertionType(String assertionType)

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: SecurityAssertion

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

Specified by:

isAssertionType in interface SecurityAssertion

Parameters:

assertionType - a String value

Returns:

a boolean value indicating the match result.

repudiable

public boolean repudiable()

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: SecurityAssertion

repudiable returns repudiablility of an assertion -- i.e. can the 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.

Specified by:

repudiable in interface SecurityAssertion

Returns:

a boolean value

toString

public String toString()

Deprecated. 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

proofAsString

public String proofAsString()

Deprecated. 

getProofType

public int getProofType()

Deprecated. 

Returns the type of proof that was used to back this assertion. Currently there are two types supported: proof-of-possession and shared-secret.

Returns:

a String value

See Also:

IdentityAssertion.POSSESSION_PROOF, IdentityAssertion.SHARED_SECRET_PROOF

getUserInfo

public UserInfo getUserInfo()

Deprecated. 

If this is a proof based on a username / password (i.e. of type SHARED_SECRET_PROOF), returns the available UserInfo.

Returns:

an UserInfo value

getX509Certificate

public X509Certificate getX509Certificate()

Deprecated. 

If the proof is based on an X509Certificate (i.e. of type POSSESSION_PROOF), this returns the X509Certificate.

Returns:

an UserInfo value
