```
public class Nonce
extends V3Extension
```
This class implements the OCSP Nonce extension.
As with all OCSP extensions, support of the Nonce extension is optional for client and servers. The critical flag should not be set.
Each OCSP extension is associated with a specific ocsp extension object identifier, derived from RFC 2560, RFC 6960:
```
 id-pkix  OBJECT IDENTIFIER  ::=
        { iso(1) identified-organization(3) dod(6) internet(1)
          security(5) mechanisms(5) pkix(7) }

 id-ad OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix 48 }       
        -- arc for access descriptors

 id-ad-ocsp      OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ad 1 }
 
 id-pkix-ocsp    OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ad-ocsp }
 
```
The object identifier for the Nonce extension is defined as:
```
 id-pkix-ocsp-nonce           OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix-ocsp 2 }
 
```
which corresponds to the OID string "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.2".
The Online Certificate Status Protocol ( RFC 2560), RFC 6960) specifies the Nonce extension for cryptographically binding a request and a response to prevent replay attacks. The nonce is included as one of the requestExtensions in an OCSPRequest, while in responses it would be included as one of the responseExtensions. The extnValue is the value of the nonce.
For adding a Nonce extension object to a request or response, use method addExtension, e.g.:
```
 byte[] value = ...;
 Nonce nonce = new Nonce(value);
 ocspRequest.addExtension(nonce);
 
```
respectively:
```
 Nonce nonce = (Nonce)ocspRequest.getExtension(Nonce.oid);
 basicOCSPResponse.addExtension(nonce);
 
```

- Field Detail

public static final ObjectID oid

    The object identifier of this Nonce extension. The corresponding OID string is "1.3.6.1.5.5.7.48.1.2".

  - Nonce

public Nonce()
```
    Default constructor. Creates an empty Nonce object. Use method setValue for setting the nonce value.

public Nonce(byte[] value)
```
    Creates a Nonce extension for the given value.
    
    Parameters:
    value - the nonce value
- Method Detail
  - setWrapNonceValue
```
public static final void setWrapNonceValue(boolean wrap)
```
    Decides whether to wrap the Nonce value into an ASN.1 OCTET_STRING before putting it into the OCSP Extension extnValue field.
    RFC 2560 did not specify an ASN.1 representation for the Nonce extension and said that the extnValue is the value of the Nonce (see RFC 2560, section 4.4.1):
```
 The nonce cryptographically binds a request and a response to prevent
 replay attacks. The nonce is included as one of the requestExtensions
 in requests, while in responses it would be included as one of the
 responseExtensions. In both the request and the response, the nonce
 will be identified by the object identifier id-pkix-ocsp-nonce, while
 the extnValue is the value of the nonce.

  id-pkix-ocsp-nonce     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix-ocsp 2 }
 
```
    For that reason IAIK-JCE <= 5.01 has put the raw Nonce value into the OCSP Extension extnValue OCTET STRING:
```
 Extensions  ::=  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension

 Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
   extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
   critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   extnValue   OCTET STRING  }
 
```
    The next version of OCSP ( RFC 6960) will specify an ASN.1 syntax for the Nonce extension to clarify that the Nonce value has to be wrapped into an ASN.1 OCTET STRING before putting it into the Extension extnValue field:
```
 Nonce ::= OCTET STRING
 
```
    For that reason IAIK-JCE > 5.01 now wraps the Nonce value into an OCTET STRING before putting it into the extnValue OCTET STRING. Thus the extnValue field contains a nested structure of one OCTET STRING (containing the raw Nonce value) wrapped by another OCTET STRING. This behaviour is more compliant with the general Extension syntax where each X.509 Extension has its specific ASN.1 syntax.
    If you want to fall back to the old IAIK-JCE behaviour to not wrap the Nonce extension into an OCTET STRING you may call this method with false as parameter:
```
 Nonce.setWrapNonceValue(false);
 
```
    Parameters:
    wrap - true (default) to wrap the Nonce into an OCTET STRING, false to not wrap it
  - getWrapNonceValue
```
public static final boolean getWrapNonceValue()
```
    Gets whether to wrap the Nonce value into an ASN.1 OCTET_STRING before putting it into the OCSP Extension extnValue field.
    RFC 2560 did not specify an ASN.1 representation for the Nonce extension and said that the extnValue is the value of the Nonce (see RFC 2560, section 4.4.1):
```
 The nonce cryptographically binds a request and a response to prevent

 in requests, while in responses it would be included as one of the
 responseExtensions. In both the request and the response, the nonce
 will be identified by the object identifier id-pkix-ocsp-nonce, while
 the extnValue is the value of the nonce.

  id-pkix-ocsp-nonce     OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-pkix-ocsp 2 }
 
```
    For that reason IAIK-JCE <= 5.01 has put the raw Nonce value into the OCSP Extension extnValue OCTET STRING:
```
 Extensions  ::=  SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension

 Extension  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
   extnID      OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
   critical    BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE,
   extnValue   OCTET STRING  }
 
```
    The next version of OCSP ( RFC 6960) specifies an ASN.1 syntax for the Nonce extension to clarify that the Nonce value has to be wrapped into an ASN.1 OCTET STRING before putting it into the Extension extnValue field:
```
 Nonce ::= OCTET STRING
 
```
    For that reason IAIK-JCE > 5.01 now wraps the Nonce value into an OCTET STRING before putting it into the extnValue OCTET STRING.

This behaviour is more compliant with the general Extension syntax where each X.509 Extension has its specific ASN.1 syntax.
    If you want to switch back to the old IAIK-JCE behaviour to not wrap the Nonce extension into an OCTET STRING you may call method setWrapNonceValue with false as parameter:
```
 Nonce.setWrapNonceValue(false);
 
```
    Returns:
    true (default) to wrap the Nonce into an OCTET STRING, false to not wrap it
  - getObjectID
```
public ObjectID getObjectID()
```
    Returns the object ID of this Nonce extension
    
    Specified by:
    
    getObjectID in class V3Extension
    
    Returns:
    the object ID
  - init
```
public void init(ASN1Object obj)
```
    Inits this Nonce implementation with an ASN1object representing the value of this extension.
    The given ASN1Object is the one created by toASN1Object().
    This method is used by the X509Extensions class when parsing the ASN.1 representation of a OCSP object for properly initializing an included Nonce extension. This method initializes the extension only with its value, but not with its critical specification. For that reason, this method shall not be explicitly called by an application.
    
    Specified by:
    
    init in class V3Extension
    
    Parameters:
    obj - the Nonce as ASN1Object (OCTET STRING)
  - toASN1Object
```
public ASN1Object toASN1Object()
```
    Returns an ASN1Object representing the value of this Nonce extension.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toASN1Object in class V3Extension
    
    Returns:
    the value of this Nonce as ASN1Object (OCTET STRING)
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(byte[] value)
```
    Sets the nonce value.
    
    Parameters:
    value - the nonce value, as byte array
  - getValue
```
public byte[] getValue()
```
    Returns the nonce value.
    
    Returns:
    the nonce value, as byte array
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Returns a hashcode for this identity.
    
    Specified by:
    
    hashCode in class V3Extension
    
    Returns:
    a hash code for this identity
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Returns a string that represents the contents of this Nonce extension.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    the string representation
