Constructor Detail

PKCS10CertificationRequest

public PKCS10CertificationRequest(java.io.InputStream a_inputStream)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Creates a PKCS10 Certification Request from input stream.

Parameters:

a_inputStream - an input stream representing a PKCS10 Certification Request

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

PKCS10CertificationRequest

public PKCS10CertificationRequest(byte[] a_bytes)

Creates a PKCS10 Certification Request from an array of bytes.

Parameters:

a_bytes - an array of bytes representing a PKCS10 Certification Request

PKCS10CertificationRequest

public PKCS10CertificationRequest(X509DistinguishedName a_subject,
                                  AsymmetricCryptoKeyPair a_keyPair,
                                  MyX509Extensions a_extensions)

Creates a new PKCS10 Certification Request.

Parameters:

a_subject - an X509 distinguished name

a_keyPair - a cryptographic key pair used to sign the request

a_extensions - a set of attributes for this request

PKCS10CertificationRequest

public PKCS10CertificationRequest(PKCS12 a_privateCertificate)

Creates a new PKCS10 Certification Request from a private certificate.

Parameters:

a_privateCertificate - a private certificate

Method Detail

toOutputStream

public void toOutputStream(java.io.OutputStream a_out,
                           boolean a_Base64Encoded)
                    throws java.io.IOException

Writes the request to an output stream. The data is DER encoded and may be additionally Bas64 encoded. The Base64 encoding is needed to be compatible the OpenSSL PEM format.

Parameters:

a_out - OutputStream

a_Base64Encoded - boolean

Throws:

java.io.IOException

toByteArray

public byte[] toByteArray(boolean a_Base64Encoded)

Converts the request to a DER encoded byte array. The data may additionally be Base64 encoded. The Base64 encoding is needed to be compatible the OpenSSL PEM format.

Parameters:

a_Base64Encoded - if the data should additionally be Base64 encoded.

Returns:

the request as a byte array

verify

public boolean verify()

Verifies the signature of this request with the public key included.

Returns:

true if the signature of this request is valid; false otherwise

createX509Certificate

public JAPCertificate createX509Certificate(PKCS12 a_signerCertificate,
                                            Validity a_validity,
                                            MyX509Extensions a_extensions,

Creates a new X509 certificate from this certification request. This method is usually used by a cerificate authority.

Parameters:

a_signerCertificate - PKCS12

a_validity - the validity of the certificate

a_extensions - some X509 extensions (may be null); you may take the extensions from this request after checking plausibility
