getScope()

Retrieve the scope for this Certificate.

getSerialNr()

Retrieve this Certificates SerialNr, with which it is identified by the CAthat issued this certificate.

getSignatureID()

Retrieve the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to sign this Certificate with.

getStatus()

Retrieve the status of the Certificate.

getType()

Retrieve the type of Certificate.

getUserDN()

Retrieve certificate owners name.

getWhyRevoked()

Retrieve reason why this Certificate was revoked.

setCADN(String)

Set the CA's name that issued this certificate.

setHashID(int)

Set the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to hash this Certificate with.

setNotValidAfter(Date)

Set the Date after which this certificate isn't valid.

setNotValidBefore(Date)

Set the Date before which this certificate isn't valid.

setPublicKey(CryptoKeyInfo)

Set the Public Key certified with this certificate.

setScope(int)

Set the scope for this Certificate.

setSerialNr(long)

Set this Certificates SerialNr, with which it is identified by the CA that issued this certificate.

setSignatureID(int)

Set the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to sign this Certificate with.

setStatus(int)

Set the status of the Certificate.

setType(int)

Set the type of Certificate.

setUserDN(String)

Set certificate owners name.

setWhyRevoked(int)

Set reason why this Certificate was revoked.

verifyCertificate()

verify certificates correctness (ie whether signature matches its contents).

  public abstract String getCADN()

Retrieve the CA's name that issued this certificate. This name is stored in the certificate.

  public abstract String getUserDN()

Retrieve certificate owners name. This name is stored in the certificate.

  public abstract long getSerialNr()

Retrieve this Certificates SerialNr, with which it is identified by the CAthat issued this certificate. This SerialNr is stored in the certificate.

  public abstract CryptoKeyInfo getPublicKey()

Retrieve the Public Key stored in this certificate.

  public abstract int getScope()

Retrieve the scope for this Certificate. This might (for instance by SecuDEs X.509 v2 certificates) return SCOPE_NYI

  public abstract int getType()

Retrieve the type of Certificate. This might (for instance by SecuDEs X.509 v2 certificates) return TYPE_NYI

  public abstract Date getNotValidBefore()

Retrieve the Date before which this certificate isn't valid.

  public abstract Date getNotValidAfter()

Retrieve the Date after which this certificate isn't valid.

  public abstract int getStatus()

Retrieve the status of the Certificate. If status isn't implemented, (like in SecuDE) Certificates are assumed to be valid if they exist. Certificate Manager at CA should remove Certificates with a possibly bad status until other modules are available, that can handle status as well.

  public abstract byte[] getCASign()

Retrieve signature for this signed by the CA whose Distinguished Name is stored in the Certificate.

  public abstract int getWhyRevoked()

Retrieve reason why this Certificate was revoked. Might change to a string later on. RCModules, that can't implement it yet can instead return REVOC_REASON_NYI.

  public abstract int getSignatureID()

Retrieve the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to sign this Certificate with. The types should correspond to the possible types defined in the CryptoConstants class (RSA, DSA etc.)

  public abstract int getHashID()

Retrieve the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to hash this Certificate with. The types should correspond to the possible types defined in the CryptoConstants class (MD2C, MD4, RIPE_MD, SHA etc.)

  public abstract void setCADN(String name)

Set the CA's name that issued this certificate. This name is stored in the certificate.

Parameters:

: - CA's name.

  public abstract void setUserDN(String name)

Set certificate owners name. This name is stored in the certificate.

Parameters:

: - users name.

  public abstract void setSerialNr(long serialNr)

Set this Certificates SerialNr, with which it is identified by the CA that issued this certificate. This SerialNr is stored in the certificate.

Parameters:

: - new serialNr.

  public abstract void setPublicKey(CryptoKeyInfo newKey)

Set the Public Key certified with this certificate.

Parameters:

: - new Key.

  public abstract void setScope(int scope)

Set the scope for this Certificate. This might (for instance by SecuDEs X.509 v2 certificates) be an empty method.

Parameters:

: - scope for the certificate.

  public abstract void setType(int type)

Set the type of Certificate. This might (for instance by SecuDEs X.509 v2 certificates) be an empty method.

Parameters:

: - type of certificate.

  public abstract void setNotValidBefore(Date notValidBefore)

Set the Date before which this certificate isn't valid.

Parameters:

: - start date of certificates validity period.

  public abstract void setNotValidAfter(Date notValidAfter)

Set the Date after which this certificate isn't valid.

Parameters:

: - end date of certificates validity period.

  public abstract void setStatus(int status)

Set the status of the Certificate. If status isn't implemented, (like in SecuDE) might be an empty method. For future implementations of certificate-modules should definitely be implemented, as the current solution is born out of need, not desire.

Parameters:

: - status of certificate.

  public abstract void changeCASign(String myName) throws CertificateException

Set signature for this signed by the CA whose Distinguished Name is stored in the Certificate.

Parameters:

myName - is the distinguished name of this CA.

Throws: CertificateException

is thrown, if the signature couldn't get changed.

  public abstract void setWhyRevoked(int whyRevoked)

Set reason why this Certificate was revoked. Might change to a string later on.

Parameters:

: - reason.

  public abstract void setSignatureID(int signatureID)

Set the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to sign this Certificate with. The types should correspond to the possible types defined in the CryptoConstants class (RSA, DSA etc.)

Parameters:

: - signature algorithm ID.

  public abstract void setHashID(int hashID)

Set the algorithm ID of the algorithm used to hash this Certificate with. The types should correspond to the possible types defined in the CryptoConstants class (MD2C, MD4, RIPE_MD, SHA etc.)

Parameters:

: - hashing ID.

  public abstract boolean verifyCertificate() throws CertificateException

verify certificates correctness (ie whether signature matches its contents).

Parameters:

s: - The public key used to generate the signature.

Throws: CertificateException

if some error occurred while verifying.
