CertificateFactorySpi
abstract class CertificateFactorySpi
kotlin.Any | |
↳ | java.security.cert.CertificateFactorySpi |
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the CertificateFactory
class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a certificate factory for a particular certificate type, e.g., X.509.
Certificate factories are used to generate certificate, certification path (CertPath
) and certificate revocation list (CRL) objects from their encodings.
A certificate factory for X.509 must return certificates that are an instance of java.security.cert.X509Certificate
, and CRLs that are an instance of java.security.cert.X509CRL
.

engineGenerateCRL
abstract fun engineGenerateCRL(inStream: InputStream!): CRL!
Generates a certificate revocation list (CRL) object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream inStream
.
In order to take advantage of the specialized CRL format supported by this certificate factory, the returned CRL object can be typecast to the corresponding CRL class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 CRLs, the returned CRL object can be typecast to the X509CRL
class.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark
and reset
, this method will consume the entire input stream. Otherwise, each call to this method consumes one CRL and the read position of the input stream is positioned to the next available byte after the inherent end-of-CRL marker. If the data in the input stream does not contain an inherent end-of-CRL marker (other than EOF) and there is trailing data after the CRL is parsed, a CRLException
is thrown.
Parameters | |
---|---|
inStream |
InputStream!: an input stream with the CRL data. |
Return | |
---|---|
CRL! |
a CRL object initialized with the data from the input stream. |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CRLException |
on parsing errors. |
engineGenerateCRLs
abstract fun engineGenerateCRLs(inStream: InputStream!): MutableCollection<out CRL!>!
Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the CRLs read from the given input stream inStream
.
In order to take advantage of the specialized CRL format supported by this certificate factory, each element in the returned collection view can be typecast to the corresponding CRL class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 CRLs, the elements in the returned collection can be typecast to the X509CRL
class.
In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 CRLs, inStream
may contain a single DER-encoded CRL. In addition, inStream
may contain a PKCS#7 CRL set. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being crls. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. This format allows multiple CRLs to be downloaded at once. If no CRLs are present, an empty collection is returned.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark
and reset
, this method will consume the entire input stream.
Parameters | |
---|---|
inStream |
InputStream!: the input stream with the CRLs. |
Return | |
---|---|
MutableCollection<out CRL!>! |
a (possibly empty) collection view of java.security.cert.CRL objects initialized with the data from the input stream. |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CRLException |
on parsing errors. |
engineGenerateCertPath
open fun engineGenerateCertPath(inStream: InputStream!): CertPath!
Generates a CertPath
object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream
inStream. The data is assumed to be in the default encoding.
This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract
and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
inStream |
InputStream!: an InputStream containing the data |
Return | |
---|---|
CertPath! |
a CertPath initialized with the data from the InputStream |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CertificateException |
if an exception occurs while decoding |
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException |
if the method is not supported |
engineGenerateCertPath
open fun engineGenerateCertPath(
inStream: InputStream!,
encoding: String!
): CertPath!
Generates a CertPath
object and initializes it with the data read from the InputStream
inStream. The data is assumed to be in the specified encoding.
This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract
and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
inStream |
InputStream!: an InputStream containing the data |
encoding |
String!: the encoding used for the data |
Return | |
---|---|
CertPath! |

if an exception occurs while decoding or the encoding requested is not supported |
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException |
if the method is not supported |
engineGenerateCertPath
open fun engineGenerateCertPath(certificates: MutableList<out Certificate!>!): CertPath!
Generates a CertPath
object and initializes it with a List
of Certificate
s.
The certificates supplied must be of a type supported by the CertificateFactory
. They will be copied out of the supplied List
object.
This method was added to version 1.4 of the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition. In order to maintain backwards compatibility with existing service providers, this method cannot be abstract
and by default throws an UnsupportedOperationException
.
Parameters | |
---|---|
certificates |
MutableList<out Certificate!>!: a List of Certificate s |
Return | |
---|---|
CertPath! |
a CertPath initialized with the supplied list of certificates |
Exceptions | |

engineGenerateCertificate
abstract fun engineGenerateCertificate(inStream: InputStream!): Certificate!
Generates a certificate object and initializes it with the data read from the input stream inStream
.
In order to take advantage of the specialized certificate format supported by this certificate factory, the returned certificate object can be typecast to the corresponding certificate class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 certificates, the returned certificate object can be typecast to the X509Certificate
class.
In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 certificates, the certificate provided in inStream
must be DER-encoded and may be supplied in binary or printable (Base64) encoding. If the certificate is provided in Base64 encoding, it must be bounded at the beginning by -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----, and must be bounded at the end by -----END CERTIFICATE-----.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark
and reset
, this method will consume the entire input stream. Otherwise, each call to this method consumes one certificate and the read position of the input stream is positioned to the next available byte after the inherent end-of-certificate marker. If the data in the input stream does not contain an inherent end-of-certificate marker (other than EOF) and there is trailing data after the certificate is parsed, a CertificateException
is thrown.
Parameters | |
---|---|
inStream |
InputStream!: an input stream with the certificate data. |
Return | |
---|---|
Certificate! |
a certificate object initialized with the data from the input stream. |
Exceptions | |
---|---|
java.security.cert.CertificateException |
on parsing errors. |
engineGenerateCertificates
abstract fun engineGenerateCertificates(inStream: InputStream!): MutableCollection<out Certificate!>!
Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the certificates read from the given input stream inStream
.
In order to take advantage of the specialized certificate format supported by this certificate factory, each element in the returned collection view can be typecast to the corresponding certificate class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 certificates, the elements in the returned collection can be typecast to the X509Certificate
class.
In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 certificates, inStream
may contain a single DER-encoded certificate in the formats described for generateCertificate
. In addition, inStream
may contain a PKCS#7 certificate chain. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being certificates. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. This format allows multiple certificates to be downloaded at once. If no certificates are present, an empty collection is returned.
Note that if the given input stream does not support mark
and reset
, this method will consume the entire input stream.
