Direct Known Subclasses:

JcaX509v3CertificateBuilder

public class X509v3CertificateBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

class to produce an X.509 Version 3 certificate.

Constructor Summary

X509v3CertificateBuilder(org.bouncycastle.asn1.x500.X500Name issuer, java.math.BigInteger serial, java.util.Date notBefore, java.util.Date notAfter, org.bouncycastle.asn1.x500.X500Name subject, org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.SubjectPublicKeyInfo publicKeyInfo)
Create a builder for a version 3 certificate.

Method Summary

X509v3CertificateBuilder	addExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid, boolean isCritical, org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable value) Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)
X509CertificateHolder	build(org.bouncycastle.operator.ContentSigner signer) Generate an X.509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the passed in signer.
X509v3CertificateBuilder	copyAndAddExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid, boolean isCritical, X509CertificateHolder certHolder) Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3) copying the extension value from another certificate.
X509v3CertificateBuilder	setIssuerUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID) Set the issuerUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.
X509v3CertificateBuilder	setSubjectUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID) Set the subjectUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.

                                java.math.BigInteger serial,
                                java.util.Date notBefore,
                                java.util.Date notAfter,
                                org.bouncycastle.asn1.x500.X500Name subject,
                                org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.SubjectPublicKeyInfo publicKeyInfo)

Create a builder for a version 3 certificate.

Parameters:

issuer - the certificate issuer

serial - the certificate serial number

notBefore - the date before which the certificate is not valid

notAfter - the date after which the certificate is not valid

subject - the certificate subject

publicKeyInfo - the info structure for the public key to be associated with this certificate.

Method Detail

setSubjectUniqueID

public X509v3CertificateBuilder setSubjectUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID)

Set the subjectUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.

Parameters:

uniqueID - a boolean array representing the bits making up the subjectUniqueID.

Returns:

this builder object.

setIssuerUniqueID

public X509v3CertificateBuilder setIssuerUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID)

Set the issuerUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.

Parameters:

uniqueID - a boolean array representing the bits making up the issuerUniqueID.

Returns:

this builder object.

addExtension

public X509v3CertificateBuilder addExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid,
                                             boolean isCritical,
                                             org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable value)
                                      throws CertIOException

Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)

Parameters:

oid - the OID defining the extension type.

isCritical - true if the extension is critical, false otherwise.

value - the ASN.1 structure that forms the extension's value.

Returns:

this builder object.

Throws:

CertIOException

copyAndAddExtension

public X509v3CertificateBuilder copyAndAddExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid,
                                                    boolean isCritical,
                                                    X509CertificateHolder certHolder)

Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3) copying the extension value from another certificate.

Parameters:

oid - the OID defining the extension type.

isCritical - true if the copied extension is to be marked as critical, false otherwise.

certHolder - the holder for the certificate that the extension is to be copied from.

Returns:

this builder object.

build

public X509CertificateHolder build(org.bouncycastle.operator.ContentSigner signer)

Generate an X.509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the passed in signer.

Parameters:

signer - the content signer to be used to generate the signature validating the certificate.

Returns:

a holder containing the resulting signed certificate.
