X500Signer

Class Overview

This class provides a binding between a Signature object and an authenticated X.500 name (from an X.509 certificate chain), which is needed in many public key signing applications.

The name of the signer is important, both because knowing it is the whole point of the signature, and because the associated X.509 certificate is always used to verify the signature.

The X.509 certificate chain is temporarily not associated with the signer, but this omission will be resolved.

PublicKey getPublicKey() Returns this identity's public key. final IdentityScope getScope() Returns this identity's scope. int hashCode() Returns a hashcode for this identity. boolean identityEquals(Identity identity) Tests for equality between the specified identity and this identity. void removeCertificate(Certificate certificate) Removes a certificate from this identity. void setInfo(String info) Specifies a general information string for this identity. void setPublicKey(PublicKey key) Sets this identity's public key. String toString(boolean detailed) Returns a string representation of this identity, with optionally more details than that provided by the toString method without any arguments. String toString() Returns a short string describing this identity, telling its name and its scope (if any).
From class java.lang.Object Object clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object. boolean equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. void finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object. final Class<?> getClass() Returns the runtime class of this Object. int hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object. final void notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor. final void notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor. String toString() Returns a string representation of the object. final void wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object. final void wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed. final void wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
From interface java.security.Principal abstract boolean equals(Object another) Compares this principal to the specified object. abstract String getName() Returns the name of this principal. abstract int hashCode() Returns a hashcode for this principal. abstract String toString() Returns a string representation of this principal.
