PKCS11Information

public PKCS11Information(PKCS11LibraryConnection pkcs11LibraryConnection)
                  throws UserFatalException

Creates a PKCS11Information object for a specific connection to a PKCS11 library.

The connection to the PKCS11 library must be open.

Parameters:

pkcs11LibraryConnection - the connection to the PKCS11 library

Throws:

UserFatalException - if the connection to the PKCS11 library is closed

Method Detail

getInfo

public Info getInfo()
             throws UserFatalException

Returns an Info object.

The Info object encapsulates information about the PKCS11 library — its version, for example.

Returns:

information about the PKCS11 library.

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the information

getSlotList

public SlotList getSlotList(boolean tokenPresent)
                     throws UserFatalException

Returns the slot list found by a PKCS #11 library.

Using the slot list, a token's slot ID can be found.

Parameters:

tokenPresent - if set to true, only the IDs of slots that contain a token will be returned; otherwise all slot IDs found will be returned

Returns:

the slot list

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the slot list

getSlotInfo

public SlotInfo getSlotInfo(long slotID)
                     throws UserFatalException

Returns information about a slot located at a specific slot ID.

Parameters:

slotID - the slotID of the slot

Returns:

information about a specific slot

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the slot information

getTokenInfo

public TokenInfo getTokenInfo(long slotID)
                       throws UserFatalException

Returns information about a token located at a specific slot ID.

Parameters:

slotID - the slotID of the token

Returns:

information about a specific token.

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the token information

getSessionInfo

public SessionInfo getSessionInfo(long sessionHandle)
                           throws UserFatalException

Returns information about a session.

Parameters:

sessionHandle - the session's handle

Returns:

information about the session

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the session information

getMechanismList

public MechanismList getMechanismList(long slotID)
                               throws UserFatalException

Returns a list of all the mechanisms (cryptographic operations) supported by the token located at a specific slot ID.

Parameters:

slotID - the slotID of the token

Returns:

a list of supported mechanisms for a specific token

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the mechanism information

getMechanismInfo

public MechanismInfo getMechanismInfo(long slotID,
                                      long mechanismType)
                               throws UserFatalException

Returns information about a specific mechanism supported by the token located at a specific slot ID.

Parameters:

slotID - the slotID of the token

mechanismType - the mechanism

Returns:

information about a specific mechanism for a specific token.

Throws:

UserFatalException - if there was a problem retrieving the mechanism information
