Class AttributeCertificateExtensions

java.lang.Object

iaik.x509.X509Extensions

iaik.x509.attr.AttributeCertificateExtensions

public class AttributeCertificateExtensions
extends X509Extensions

Extends class X509Extensions for registering and handling Attribute certificate extensions.

This class can be used in the same way as the parent X509Extensions class for managing extensions that may be included in OCSP requests or responses. An application wishing to implement some private Attribute certificate extension may write a class by extending the abstract class V3Extension and statically registering the implementation by its object id, e.g.:

 MyPrivateExtension extends V3Extension {
   ...
   public static final ObjectID oid = ...;

 }

 AttributeCertificateExtensions.register(MyPrivateExtension.oid, MyPrivateExtension.class);
 

Per default all extensions specified by the X.509 Attribute Certificate profile (RFC 5755) are implementend and registered by this class:

• AuditIdentity
• NoRevAvail
• TargetInformation
• BasicAttConstraints
• AcceptableCertPolicies

public AttributeCertificateExtensions(int initialCriticalExtensionsCapacity,
                              int initialNoncriticalExtensionCapacity)

Creates an AttributeCertificateExtensions object with the given initial capacities for the critical_extensions and noncritical_extensions hashtables.

Parameters:

initialCriticalExtensionsCapacity - the initial capacity of the critical_extensions table

initialNoncriticalExtensionCapacity - the initial capacity of the noncritical_extensions table

AttributeCertificateExtensions

public AttributeCertificateExtensions(ASN1Object extensions)
                               throws X509ExtensionException

Creates a new AttributeCertificateExtensions object from an ASN1Object.

The given ASN1Object has the ASN.1 type "SEQUENCE of Extensions".

Parameters:
