Functions

engineGenerateCRL CRL engineGenerateCRL(InputStream stream): Generates an X.509 certificate revocation list (CRL) object and initializes it with the data read from the given input stream <code>is</code>.
engineGenerateCRLs Collection!(CRL) engineGenerateCRLs(InputStream stream): Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of X.509 CRLs read from the given input stream <code>is</code>.
engineGenerateCertificate Certificate engineGenerateCertificate(InputStream inputStream): Generates an X.509 certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream <code>inputStream</code>.
engineGenerateCertificates Collection!(Certificate) engineGenerateCertificates(InputStream stream): Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of X.509 certificates read from the given input stream <code>is</code>.

Static functions

intern X509CertImpl intern(X509Certificate c): Return an interned X509CertImpl for the given certificate. If the given X509Certificate or X509CertImpl is already present in the cert cache, the cached object is returned. Otherwise, if it is a X509Certificate, it is first converted to a X509CertImpl. Then the X509CertImpl is added to the cache and returned.
intern X509CRLImpl intern(X509CRL c): Return an interned X509CRLImpl for the given certificate. For more information, see intern(X509Certificate).

Variables

BEGIN_CERT enum string BEGIN_CERT;: Undocumented in source.
END_CERT enum string END_CERT;: Undocumented in source.

From CertificateFactorySpi

engineGenerateCertificate Certificate engineGenerateCertificate(InputStream inStream): Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream {@code inStream}.
engineGenerateCertPath CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(InputStream inStream): Generates a {@code CertPath} object and initializes it with the data read from the {@code InputStream} inStream. The data is assumed to be in the default encoding.
engineGenerateCertPath CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(InputStream inStream, string encoding): Generates a {@code CertPath} object and initializes it with the data read from the {@code InputStream} inStream. The data is assumed to be in the specified encoding.
engineGenerateCertPath CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(List!(Certificate) certificates): Generates a {@code CertPath} object and initializes it with a {@code List} of {@code Certificate}s. <p> The certificates supplied must be of a type supported by the {@code CertificateFactory}. They will be copied out of the supplied {@code List} object.
engineGetCertPathEncodings Iterator!string engineGetCertPathEncodings(): Returns an iteration of the {@code CertPath} encodings supported by this certificate factory, with the default encoding first. See the CertPath Encodings section in the <a href= "{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/security/StandardNames.html#CertPathEncodings"> Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation</a> for information about standard encoding names. <p> Attempts to modify the returned {@code Iterator} via its {@code remove} method result in an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}.
engineGenerateCertificates Collection!Certificate engineGenerateCertificates(InputStream inStream): Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the certificates read from the given input stream {@code inStream}.
engineGenerateCRL CRL engineGenerateCRL(InputStream inStream): Generates a certificate revocation list (CRL) object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream {@code inStream}.
engineGenerateCRLs Collection!CRL engineGenerateCRLs(InputStream inStream): Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the CRLs read from the given input stream {@code inStream}.
