public class X509CertRequest

extends X509Extensions

X509CertRequest()

The default constructor is used to create a new empty certificate request.

X509CertRequest(byte[])

Create a certificate request form a PEM or DER byte array.

X509CertRequest(String)

Create a certificate request form a file.

getFingerprint()

Returns the fingerprint of this certificate request.

getPublicKey()

Returns the public key of this certificate request.

getSaveFormat()

Returns the file format (ASN1.DER, ASN1.PEM) of the certificate request.

getSignatureAlgorithmID()

Returns the signature algorithm of this certificate request.

getSubject()

Returns the subject of this certificate request.

getVersion()

Returns the version number of this certificate request.

saveToFile(String)

Saves the certificate request into a file.

setPublicKey(PublicKey)

Sets the public key of this certificate request.

setSaveFormat(int)

Sets the file format when saving the cert request.

setSubject(Name)

Sets the subject of this certificate request.

setVersion(int)

Sets the version of this certificate request.

sign(AlgorithmID, RSAPrivateKey)

Signs the certificate request with the private key of the subject.

toByteArray()

Returns the certificate request in a byte array in DER format.

toString()

toString(boolean)

Returns a string that represents the contents of the certificate.

verify()

Verifies the self signed certificate request.

 public X509CertRequest(String fileName) throws IOException, CodingException

Create a certificate request form a file. The data can be in PEM or DER format.

Parameters:

fileName - the name of the file containing the certificate

Throws: IOException

if the certificate could not be read

Throws: CodingException

if there is a problem with the certificate request

 public X509CertRequest(byte arr[]) throws CodingException

Create a certificate request form a PEM or DER byte array.

Parameters:

array - the byte array containing the certificate request

Throws: CodingException

if the format of the cert request is wrong

 public X509CertRequest()

The default constructor is used to create a new empty certificate request. The values can be set with the setValue() methods.

 public void sign(AlgorithmID signatureAlg,
                  RSAPrivateKey issuerSK) throws SignatureException, InvalidKeyException, NoSuchAlgorithmException

Signs the certificate request with the private key of the subject. A PKCS#1 standard signature is created.

Parameters:

signatureAlg - the AlgorithmID of the signature algorithm

issuerPK - the private key of the subject

Throws: SignatureException

if the certificate could not be created

Throws: InvalidKeyException

if the format of the key is wrong

Throws: NoSuchAlgorithmException

if there is no implementation for the specified signature algorithm

 public boolean verify() throws SignatureException

Verifies the self signed certificate request.

Returns:

true if the cert request is OK

Throws: SignatureException

if the certificate request could not be verified

 public byte[] toByteArray()

Returns the certificate request in a byte array in DER format. The DER format (Distinguished Encoding Rules) defines a binary representation of an abstract ASN.1 datastructure.

Returns:

the certificate request in DER format

 public void saveToFile(String fileName) throws IOException

Saves the certificate request into a file.

Parameters:

fileName - the name of the file

Throws: IOException

if an error occurs during saving the file

 public void setSaveFormat(int format)

Sets the file format when saving the cert request.

Parameters:

format - ASN1.PEM or ASN1.DER

 public void setVersion(int v)

Sets the version of this certificate request.

Parameters:

version - of the certificate request

 public void setSubject(Name su)

Sets the subject of this certificate request.

Parameters:

subject - the subject of the certtificate request

 public void setPublicKey(PublicKey pk)

Sets the public key of this certificate request.

Parameters:

pk - the public key of the subject

 public int getSaveFormat()

Returns the file format (ASN1.DER, ASN1.PEM) of the certificate request. Shows the format of the file from which the certificate request was read.

Returns:

the safe format

 public int getVersion()

Returns the version number of this certificate request.

Returns:

version number of the certificate

 public AlgorithmID getSignatureAlgorithmID()

Returns the signature algorithm of this certificate request.

Returns:

the signature algorithm used to sign this certificate request

 public Name getSubject()

Returns the subject of this certificate request.

Returns:

the subject of the certificate request

 public PublicKey getPublicKey()

Returns the public key of this certificate request.

Returns:

the public key of the the certificate request

 public byte[] getFingerprint()

Returns the fingerprint of this certificate request. This is a MD5 hash of the DER encoded certificate request.

Returns:

the fingerprint of the certificate request

 public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

 public String toString(boolean detailed)

Returns a string that represents the contents of the certificate.

Parameters:

detailed - - whether or not to give detailed information about the certificate.

Returns:

the string representation
