Certificate

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
private static final long	serialVersionUID
private final String	type

Constructors Summary
protected Certificate(String type) Creates a new {@code Certificate} with the specified type. param type the certificate type. since Android 1.0 this.type = type;

Methods Summary
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object other) Compares the argument to the certificate, and returns {@code true} if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison. The implementation in Object returns {@code true} only if the argument is the exact same object as the callee (==). param other the object to compare with this object. return {@code true} if the object is the same as this object, {@code false} if it is different from this object. see #hashCode since Android 1.0 // obj equal to itself if (this == other) { return true; } if (other instanceof Certificate) { try { // check that encoded forms match return Arrays.equals(this.getEncoded(), ((Certificate)other).getEncoded()); } catch (CertificateEncodingException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } return false;
public abstract byte[]	getEncoded() Returns the encoded representation for this certificate. return the encoded representation for this certificate. throws CertificateEncodingException if the encoding fails. since Android 1.0
public abstract java.security.PublicKey	getPublicKey() Returns the public key corresponding to this certificate. return the public key corresponding to this certificate. since Android 1.0
public final java.lang.String	getType() Returns the certificate type. return the certificate type. since Android 1.0 return type;
public int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for the certificate. Any two objects which return {@code true} when passed to {@code equals} must return the same value for this method. return the certificate's hash see #equals since Android 1.0 try { byte[] encoded = getEncoded(); int hash = 0; for (int i=0; i<encoded.length; i++) { hash += i*encoded[i]; } return hash; } catch (CertificateEncodingException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); }
public abstract java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the certificate. return a printable representation for the certificate. since Android 1.0
public abstract void	verify(java.security.PublicKey key) Verifies that this certificate was signed with the given public key. param key PublicKey public key for which verification should be performed. throws CertificateException if encoding errors are detected. throws NoSuchAlgorithmException if an unsupported algorithm is detected. throws InvalidKeyException if an invalid key is detected. throws NoSuchProviderException if there is no default provider. throws SignatureException if signature errors are detected. since Android 1.0
public abstract void	verify(java.security.PublicKey key, java.lang.String sigProvider) Verifies that this certificate was signed with the given public key. It Uses the signature algorithm given by the provider. param key PublicKey public key for which verification should be performed. param sigProvider String the name of the signature provider. exception CertificateException if encoding errors are detected. exception NoSuchAlgorithmException if an unsupported algorithm is detected. exception InvalidKeyException if an invalid key is detected. exception NoSuchProviderException if the specified provider does not exists. exception SignatureException if signature errors are detected. since Android 1.0
protected java.lang.Object	writeReplace() Returns an alternate object to be serialized. return the object to serialize. throws ObjectStreamException if the creation of the alternate object fails. since Android 1.0 try { return new CertificateRep(getType(), getEncoded()); } catch (CertificateEncodingException e) { throw new NotSerializableException ( Messages.getString("security.66", e)); //$NON-NLS-1$ }
