Constructor Detail

KeyAndCertificate

public KeyAndCertificate(java.security.PrivateKey key,
                 java.security.cert.Certificate cert)

The constructor. Takes a Private Key and a Certificate

Parameters:

key - The PrivateKey

cert - The associated Public Certificate

Method Detail

getCert

public java.security.cert.Certificate getCert()

Return the Certificate associated with this object

Returns:

the Certificate associated with this object

getKey

public java.security.PrivateKey getKey()

Return the PrivateKey associated with this object

Returns:

the PrivateKey associated with this object

matchKeyToCert

public static boolean matchKeyToCert(java.security.PrivateKey key,
                     java.security.cert.Certificate cert)

Convienance method for checking if a single key and certificate match. A sign operation will be done with the Private key, and a verify operation will be done with the Certificate.

Parameters:

key - The private key to be matched with the certificate

cert - The Certificate to be matched

Returns:

true if the key and certificate are a matching pair, false if they are not a matching pair

matchKeysToCertificates

public static KeyAndCertificate[] matchKeysToCertificates(java.util.List<java.security.PrivateKey> keys,
                                          java.util.List<java.security.cert.Certificate> certificates)

Match a list of private keys to public keys in a list of certificates. Matching is done by signing and verifying a short message.

Parameters:

keys - the list of private keys to find matching certificates for.

certificates - the list of certificates to match to private keys. There can be more certificates than private keys. Any certificates that do not match a private key are removed from the list.

Returns:

an array of KeyAndCertificate objects containing the matching pairs.

matchKeyToPublicKey

public static boolean matchKeyToPublicKey(java.security.PrivateKey privateKey,
                          java.security.PublicKey publicKey)

Convienance method for checking if a single key and public key match. A sign operation will be done with the Private key, and a verify operation will be done with the Certificate.

Parameters:

key - The private key to be matched with the certificate

pkey - the public key to be matched with the private key

Returns:

true if the key and public key are a matching pair, false if they are not a matching pair

matchKeysToPublicKeys

public static java.security.KeyPair[] matchKeysToPublicKeys(java.util.List<java.security.PrivateKey> keys,
                                            java.util.List<java.security.PublicKey> publicKeys)

Match a list of private keys to public keys. Matching is done by signing and verifying a short message.

Parameters:

keys - the list of private keys to find matching public keys

publicKeys - the list of public keys to match to the private keys. There can be more public keys than private keys. Any public keys that do not match a private key are removed from the list.

Returns:

an array of KeyPair objects containing the matching pairs.
