Class CompressedData

java.lang.Object
  extended by iaik.cms.CompressedDataStream
      extended by iaik.cms.CompressedData
All Implemented Interfaces:
Content, ContentStream
public class CompressedData
extends CompressedDataStream
implements Content

This class represents the stream-supporting implementation of the CMS content type CompressedData.

The compressed-data content type is identified by the following object identifier: 

 id-ct-compressedData OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { iso(1) member-body(2)
       us(840) rsadsi(113549) pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) ct(1) 9 }

which corresponds to the OID string "1.2.840.113549.1.9.16.1.9".

The CompressedData type provides a syntax for compressing/decompressing the content of a CMS message. An algorithm identifier identifies the compression algorithm to be used ( RFC 3274 refers the ZLIB compression algorithm [RFC1950], [RFC1951]) for compressing the encapsulated content: 

 CompressedData ::= SEQUENCE {
   version CMSVersion,
   compressionAlgorithm CompressionAlgorithmIdentifier,
   encapContentInfo EncapsulatedContentInfo
 }

When creating a CompressedData object an application has to decide whether the compressed content shall be incldued (IMPLICIT mode) into the CompressedData message or shall be transmitted by other means (EXPLICIT mode): 

 int mode = CompressedData.IMPLICIT; // include content
or 
 int mode = CompressedData.EXPLICIT; // do not include content
However, in both cases the content data has to be supplied when creating the CompressedData object to perform the compression with some particular compression algorithm, e.g.: 
 // transmission mode (EXPLICIT or IMPLICIT)
 int mode = ...; 
 // the content data 
 byte[] content = ...; 
 // compression algorithm
 AlgorithmID compressionAlg = CMSAlgorithmID.zlib_compress;
 // create the CompressedData object:
 CompressedData compressedData = new CompressedData(content, compressionAlg, mode);
If the content shall not be included in the CompressedData object (EXPLICIT mode) you may get the compressed content byte calling method getContent) to transmit it by other means, e.g.: 
 // in explicit mode get the compressed content to transmit it by other means
 byte[] compressedContent = null;
 if (mode == CompressedData.EXPLICIT) {
   compressedContent = compressedData.getcontent();
 }
Finally the CompressedData object has to be prepared for transmission by transforming it into an ASN1Object or immediately DER encoding it. The former is done by calling method toASN1Object, the latter by using method getEncoded method: 
 ASN1Object asn1CompressedData = compressedData.toASN1Object();
or 
 byte[] encoding = compressedData.getEncoded();
You alternatively may use a proper writeTo method of the parent CompressedDataStream class for immediately encoding this CompressedData object to an output stream. When using writeTo in implicit mode, you additionally have the possibility of specifying a particular blockSize for forcing an indefinite constructed encoding of the inherent compressed content data bytes, instead of of the default definite primitive encoding, e.g: 
 0x24 0x80
           0x04 0x02 0x01 0xAB
           0x04 0x02 0x23 0x7F
           0x04 0x01 0xCA
 0x00 0x00
instead of: 
 0x04 0x05 0x01 0xAB 0x23 0x7F 0xCA
for encoding the five bytes 0x01 0xAB 0x23 0x7F 0xCA.

When receiving an CompressedData message use the CompressedData(InputStream) constructor for parsing the CompressedData from its DER encoding: 

 // the input stream supplying the DER encoded CompressedData
 InputStream encodedStream = ...;
 // parse the CompressedData
 CompressedData compressedData = new CompressedData(encodedStream);
If the compressed content has been transmitted by other means (EXPLICIT mode) it now has to be supplied by calling method setContent since it is required for being decompressed: 
 if (compressedData.getMode() == AuthenticatedData.EXPLICIT) {
   // in explicit mode explicitly supply the compressed content for being decompressed 
   authenticatedData.setContent(compressedContent);
 }
Finally get the (decompressed) content by calling method getContent: 
 byte[] content = compressedData.getContent();
