public class DummyCAModule

extends CAModule

DummyCAModule()

allEntriesInArchive()

computeDN(Template)

Computes a DN for the user based on the information in the Template.

generateAndStoreCAkeys()

Generate the CA's public,secret-keypair.

getName()

getNewSerialNumber()

Returns a new (unused) serial number to be used in registrations and certificates.

init(String)

Initialises the CA Module.

Interrupt(int)

isInitialised()

Tells whether this class is initialised.

issueCertificate(Registration, CryptoKeyInfo, Scope, CertificateType, Date, Date, Status)

Issue new certificate for client.

makeRegistration(Template)

Register information about a user based on the information in a Template.

retrieveCApkey()

Retrieve this CA's public key from storage.

 public DummyCAModule()

 public static boolean isInitialised()

Tells whether this class is initialised. The DummyCAModule is initialised when DummyCAModule.init() has been sucessfully executed.

Returns:

s true if DummyCAModule.init() has been executed, false otherwise.

 public void init(String ca_dist_name) throws CertificateException

Initialises the CA Module. The initialisation determines the last serial number in archive, it generates key pair for CA and stores them afterwards.

Parameters:

ca_dist_name - distinguished name of the current CA

Throws: CertificateException

if the module could not be loaded or initialised

Overrides:

init in class CAModule

 public CryptoKeyInfo retrieveCApkey() throws CertificateException

Retrieve this CA's public key from storage. This is necessary in CAserver whenever the public key should be used.

Returns:

s the CA's public key.

Throws: CertificateException

if the keys couldn't be retrieved.

Overrides:

retrieveCApkey in class CAModule

 public Registration makeRegistration(Template filledTemplate) throws CertificateException

Register information about a user based on the information in a Template. Before the registration takes place an authentication check process determines, whether the current user is already pre-registered or not. In case the authentication check process succeed, registration follows.

Parameters:

filledTemplate - is a filled out template received from user

Returns:

a Registration corresponding to the informaiton registered about the user

Throws: CertificateException

if the registration could not be made based on the given template

Overrides:

makeRegistration in class CAModule

 public Certificate issueCertificate(Registration regi,
                                     CryptoKeyInfo pKey,
                                     Scope scope,
                                     CertificateType type,
                                     Date startValid,
                                     Date endValid,
                                     Status status) throws CertificateException

Issue new certificate for client. This service simply uses the module to issue a new certificate according to the parameters given as input. Thus this service should only be called if the CA has decided to issue the certificate.

Parameters:

regi - is the registration that is the basis of the certificate

pKey: - the public Key to be certified with the new Certificate.

scope: - the scope for this Certificate (Signature, Encryption).

type: - Type of the Certificate (Key, Attribute, Hybrid).

startValid: - start of the timeperiod in which this certificate is valid.

endValid: - end of the timeperiod in which this certificate is valid.

status - the status of the new certificate

Returns:

the issued certificate is returned

Throws: CertificateException

if there weren't any serialnos for Certificates available any more, or another failure occurred during the generation of the certificate.

Overrides:

issueCertificate in class CAModule

 public long getNewSerialNumber() throws CertificateException

Returns a new (unused) serial number to be used in registrations and certificates. The method is synchronized in order to protect against two simultaneous calls.

Returns:

A new serial number

Throws: CertificateException

if no new serial number could be generated

Overrides:

getNewSerialNumber in class CAModule

 public void generateAndStoreCAkeys() throws CertificateException

Generate the CA's public,secret-keypair. The resulting keys are stored in Archive and can be hence, be retrieved later by the module. this service uses then key generation of the crypto and store (add) method of archive block. Additionally the fingerprint of CA's public key is generated and stored in th efile CA_FP.txt

Throws: CertificateException

if there were no serialno or if the keys could no be generated.

generatePubKeyPair

 public String computeDN(Template templ) throws CertificateException

Computes a DN for the user based on the information in the Template. This method simply defines the DN as the concatenation of CADN, common name as defined in the the template. The email address is inserted if defined.

Parameters:

templ - is a filled out template

Returns:

a string containing a DN for the user

Throws: CertificateException

if the DN could not be computed

Overrides:

computeDN in class CAModule

 public String getName()

Overrides:

getName in class CAModule

 public static void Interrupt(int ms)

 public static void allEntriesInArchive()
