Timestamp
extends Object
implements
Serializable
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | java.security.Timestamp |
This class encapsulates information about a signed timestamp. It is immutable. It includes the timestamp's date and time as well as information about the Timestamping Authority (TSA) which generated and signed the timestamp.

Public constructors
Timestamp
public Timestamp (Date timestamp, CertPath signerCertPath)
Constructs a Timestamp.
Parameters | |
---|---|
timestamp |
Date : is the timestamp's date and time. It must not be null. |
signerCertPath |
CertPath : is the TSA's certificate path. It must not be null. |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if timestamp or signerCertPath is null. |
Public methods
equals
public boolean equals (Object obj)
Tests for equality between the specified object and this timestamp. Two timestamps are considered equal if the date and time of their timestamp's and their signer's certificate paths are equal.
Parameters | |
---|---|
obj |
Object : the object to test for equality with this timestamp. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if the timestamp are considered equal, false otherwise. |
getSignerCertPath
public CertPath getSignerCertPath ()
Returns the certificate path for the Timestamping Authority.
Returns | |
---|---|
CertPath |
The TSA's certificate path. |
getTimestamp
public Date getTimestamp ()
Returns the date and time when the timestamp was generated.
Returns | |
---|---|
Date |
The timestamp's date and time. |
hashCode
public int hashCode ()
Returns the hash code value for this timestamp. The hash code is generated using the date and time of the timestamp and the TSA's certificate path.
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
a hash code value for this timestamp. |
toString
public String toString ()
Returns a string describing this timestamp.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
A string comprising the date and time of the timestamp and its signer's certificate. |
