public class SimpleOpenPGPCertificate

extends java.security.cert.Certificate

Simple OpenPGP Certificate class.

Warning: this class is a hack, which will most likely disappear in favour of a proper implementation.

Method Summary
byte[]	getEncoded()           Returns the encoded publickey
java.security.PublicKey	getPublicKey()           Return the public key that is contained in this certificate
java.lang.String	toString()           Returns a human-readable string that is descriptive for this certificate.
void	verify(java.security.PublicKey key)           Verify that this certificate was signed with the given key
void	verify(java.security.PublicKey key, java.lang.String sigProvider)           Braindamaged unsupported method

Method Detail

verify

public void verify(java.security.PublicKey key)
            throws java.security.cert.CertificateException,
                   java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                   java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                   java.security.NoSuchProviderException,
                   java.security.SignatureException

Verify that this certificate was signed with the given key

In case of multiple userID's, this method only succeeds if all userID's are signed using the given key.

Overrides:

verify in class java.security.cert.Certificate

Parameters:

key - the key to use for verification

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateException - if the certificate contains an invalid signature.

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException - this method does currently not throw this exception (a runtime exception is thrown instead if an algorithm is not found), but it may do so in the future.

java.security.InvalidKeyException - is the given public key is not a cryptix.openpgp.PGPPublicKey

java.security.NoSuchProviderException - this method does not throw this exception.

java.security.SignatureException - if the verification fails.

verify

public void verify(java.security.PublicKey key,
                   java.lang.String sigProvider)
            throws java.security.cert.CertificateException,
                   java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                   java.security.InvalidKeyException,
                   java.security.NoSuchProviderException,
                   java.security.SignatureException

Braindamaged unsupported method

Multiple OpenPGP providers, yeah right!

Overrides:

verify in class java.security.cert.Certificate

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()
                  throws java.security.cert.CertificateEncodingException

Returns the encoded publickey

This class uses the binary OpenPGP representation of it's public key

Overrides:

getEncoded in class java.security.cert.Certificate

Returns:

the binary encoded representation of the contained OpenPGP public key.

Throws:

java.security.cert.CertificateEncodingException - this method does not throw this exception.

getPublicKey

public java.security.PublicKey getPublicKey()

Return the public key that is contained in this certificate

This always returns a cryptix.openpgp.PGPPublicKey

Overrides:

getPublicKey in class java.security.cert.Certificate

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a human-readable string that is descriptive for this certificate.

For a certificate with one userID, this simply returns the userID. For multiple userID's, all userID's are concatenated in a special way.

Overrides:

toString in class java.security.cert.Certificate
