Class semper.statement.StatementTransaction 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----semper.statement.StatementTransaction
public class StatementTransaction
extends Object
Provides statement operations using algorithms and keys negotiated with a second part. Thus, using this class is appropriate each time a number of operations should be grouped together in a session. A StatementTransaction object should only be constructed by the StatementManager. and this should be done whenever two parties want to do just send information to each other more than once. Furhtermore, for some functions requirering shared conventional keys, this may be the only way to use such service (the only exception being if the two parties shre a key a priori. A transaction object contains (a subset of) the following information about the session: the identities of the two parties, shared conventional keys needed for encryption and MAC, certificate on my public key used to verify my signatures. certificate on my public key used to encryption, certificate on patner public key used to verify partner signatures, certificate on my public key used to encryption, my secret signature key, my secret decryption key, the public key of the counterpart for signature verification, public encryption key of counterpart, the negotiated hash algorithm, the negotiated MAC algorithm, the method for encrypting a conventional key under an asymmetric public key.

Constructor Index

o StatementTransaction(AlgorithmContext, SessionKey, CertificateContext, CertificateContext)
creates a new StatementTransaction object.

Method Index

o decipher(Statement)
Decipher an enciphered statement.
o encipher(Statement)
Encipher a statement.
o generateMAC(Statement)
Generate a (keyed) MAC value on a statement object.
o generateSignature(Statement)
Sign a statement.
o getRecipient(Statement)
Retrieve the information stored in the statement about the recipient.
o getSender(Statement)
Get the information stored in the Statement about the sender.
o pkDecipher(Statement)
Decipher a pkEnciphered statement object using the secret (asymmetric) key for decryption.
o pkEncipher(Statement)
Encipher a statement object under a random conventional key (same algorithm as the session key for encryption), and encrypt this key under the public encryption key defined in this transaction object.
o printContents()
o setRecipient(Statement)
Set information about the intended the recipient.
o setSender(Statement)
Identifies the sender of the Statement according to information Certificate Context of the transaction object.
o setYourContext(CertificateContext)
o verifyMAC(Statement)
Verify a (keyed) MAC value on a statement object.
o verifySignature(Statement)
Verify the signature in a signed statement.

Constructors

o StatementTransaction 
 public StatementTransaction(AlgorithmContext algorithmContext,
                             SessionKey sessionKey,
                             CertificateContext myContext,
                             CertificateContext yourContext)
creates a new StatementTransaction object. The StatementTransaction object may be used in case multiple consecutive operation are to be performed on the same Statement object. The StatementTransaction will contain a user defined context to be used for each operation on the Statement (sender identification, recipient identification, MAC verification key etc).

Parameters:
algorithmContext - specifies the algorithsm to be used
myContext - contains my own certificate context
yourContext - contains the certificate context of the peer

Statement

Methods

o encipher 
 public void encipher(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Encipher a statement. The statement is enciphered using the conventional key for encryption.

Parameters:
s - the statement to be enciphered
Throws: StatementManException
if the encryption fails
See Also:
encipher
o decipher 
 public void decipher(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Decipher an enciphered statement. The statement is deiphered. If a conventinal key for this has been negotiated, this key is used. Otherwise a key designated by the Statement is used..

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Throws: StatementManException
if the decryption fails
See Also:
decipher
o generateSignature 
 public void generateSignature(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Sign a statement. Signs the statement using private signature key and the hash algorithm. No certificate is added to the statement.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Throws: StatementManException
if signing fails
See Also:
generateSignature, verifySignature
o verifySignature 
 public boolean verifySignature(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Verify the signature in a signed statement. The signature is verified using pkSignaturePartner

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Returns:
true if the signature is ok and false otherwise
Throws: StatementManException
if the process fails
See Also:
verifySignature, generateSignature
o generateMAC 
 public void generateMAC(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Generate a (keyed) MAC value on a statement object. The MAC value is generated using session key for this defined by the transaction object.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Throws: StatementManException
if the process fails
See Also:
generateMAC, verifyMAC
o verifyMAC 
 public boolean verifyMAC(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Verify a (keyed) MAC value on a statement object. The MAC value is verified using session key. If no such key is defined the method will try to identify a key from the Statement and use that key.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Returns:
true if the MAC is OK and false otherwise
Throws: StatementManException
if the process fails
See Also:
verifyMAC, generateMAC
o pkEncipher 
 public void pkEncipher(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Encipher a statement object under a random conventional key (same algorithm as the session key for encryption), and encrypt this key under the public encryption key defined in this transaction object.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Throws: StatementManException
if the encryption fails
See Also:
pkDecipher, pkEncipher
o pkDecipher 
 public void pkDecipher(Statement s) throws StatementManException
Decipher a pkEnciphered statement object using the secret (asymmetric) key for decryption.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Throws: StatementManException
if the Statement could not be deciphered
See Also:
pkDecipher, pkEncipher
o setSender 
 public void setSender(Statement s)
Identifies the sender of the Statement according to information Certificate Context of the transaction object.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
See Also:
getSender
o getSender 
 public String getSender(Statement s)
Get the information stored in the Statement about the sender.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Returns:
the sender identification
See Also:
setSender
o setRecipient 
 public void setRecipient(Statement s)
Set information about the intended the recipient. A null string clears the possibly existing information about the recipient.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
See Also:
getRecipient
o getRecipient 
 public String getRecipient(Statement s)
Retrieve the information stored in the statement about the recipient. A null string means that the statement contains no information about the recipient.

Parameters:
s - the statement on which to operate
Returns:
the recipient identification
See Also:
