Class Overview

PolicyInformation is the class that contains a specific certificate policy that is part of the CertificatePoliciesExtension. A CertificatePolicyExtension value consists of a vector of these objects.

The ASN.1 syntax for PolicyInformation (IMPLICIT tagging is defined in the module definition): 


 PolicyInformation ::= SEQUENCE {
      policyIdentifier   CertPolicyId,
      policyQualifiers   SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF
                              PolicyQualifierInfo OPTIONAL }

 CertPolicyId ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER

 PolicyQualifierInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
      policyQualifierId  PolicyQualifierId,
      qualifier          ANY DEFINED BY policyQualifierId }

Public Constructors

public PolicyInformation (CertificatePolicyId policyIdentifier, Set<PolicyQualifierInfo> policyQualifiers)

Create an instance of PolicyInformation

Parameters
policyIdentifier the policyIdentifier as a CertificatePolicyId
policyQualifiers a Set of PolicyQualifierInfo objects. Must not be NULL. Specify an empty Set for no qualifiers.
Throws
IOException on decoding errors.

public PolicyInformation (DerValue val)

Create an instance of PolicyInformation, decoding from the passed DerValue.

Parameters
val the DerValue to construct the PolicyInformation from.
Throws
IOException on decoding errors.

Public Methods

public void delete (String name)

Delete the attribute value.

Throws
IOException

public void encode (DerOutputStream out)

Write the PolicyInformation to the DerOutputStream.

Parameters
out the DerOutputStream to write the extension to.
Throws
IOException on encoding errors.

public boolean equals (Object other)

Compare this PolicyInformation with another object for equality

Parameters
other object to be compared with this
