Field Detail

CLOCK_SKEW

protected static final int CLOCK_SKEW

Clock sync between client and server can be just over an hour and 6 minutes (4000 seconds) - 1:06:40. The reason for this is so client server machines with different daylight savings time settings still have a chance of working

Constructor Detail

OCSPRevocationChecker

public OCSPRevocationChecker(OCSPConfiguration config,
                     KeyAndCertContainer keyMaterial,
                     ValidationInfo validationInfo)

The OCSPRevocationChecker constructor.

This class creates an OCSPRevocationChecker given an OCSPConfiguration. The OCSPConfiguration must not be null, otherwise an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

A ValidationInfo object is also required, and cannot be null.

Optionally, a KeyAndCertContainer can be passed to as a source of KeyAndCertificate information. This object is only required if OCSP client requests will be signed.

Parameters:

config - The OCSPConfiguration associated with this RevocationChecker

keyMaterial - The key material that can be used to sign OCSP requests

validationInfo - The validationInfo associated with this revocation checker

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the OCSPConfiguration or ValidationInfo parameters are null.

Method Detail

check

public void check(X509Certificate[] chain)
           throws CertificationException

Given a certificate chain, this method will check Revocation on the chain using OCSP. Depending on the OCSPConfiguration specified by this revocation checker, one of the following will be done:

1. If AIAChecking is false, and no local accessLocation is defined, an exception is thrown indicating nothing can be done.

2. If AIAChecking is true, and no local accessLocation is defined, then only the accessLocation(s) in the AIA will be used to try and determine revocaton status.

3. If AIAChecking is true, and a local accessLocation is defined, then any accessLocations contained in the AIA location of the certificate will first be checked. If no successful revocation status is found then the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configuraitons DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

4. If AIAChecking is false, and there is a locally defined accessLocation, the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configurations DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

Specified by:

check in interface RevocationChecker

Parameters:

chain - The chain of certificates to be checked for revocation. If the given chain is null, then the method just returns.

Throws:

CertificationException - if revocation status could not be determined

RevocationException - if the status of the certificate was revoked.

check

public void check(X509Certificate certificate,
         X509Certificate[] chain,
         int position)
           throws CertificationException

This method will check Revocation of the given certificate using OCSP. Depending on the OCSPConfiguration specified by this revocation checker, one of the following will be done:

1. If AIAChecking is false, and no local accessLocation is defined, an exception is thrown indicating nothing can be done.

2. If AIAChecking is true, and no local accessLocation is defined, then only the accessLocation(s) in the AIA will be used to try and determine revocaton status.

3. If AIAChecking is true, and a local accessLocation is defined, then any accessLocations contained in the AIA location of the certificate will first be checked. If no successful revocation status is found then the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configuraitons DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

4. If AIAChecking is false, and there is a locally defined accessLocation, the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configurations DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

The position is the integer position of the certificate in the chain. This position is not required, but if used may help to speed up Issuer certificate searches. Especially with long certificate chains.

Specified by:

check in interface RevocationChecker

Parameters:

certificate - the certificate which revocation will be checked

chain - the certificate chain

position - of certificate in chain

Throws:

CertificationException - if revocation status could not be determined

RevocationException - if the status of the certificate was revoked.

check

public void check(X509Certificate certificate)
           throws CertificationException

This method will check Revocation of the given certificate using OCSP. Depending on the OCSPConfiguration specified by this revocation checker, one of the following will be done:

1. If AIAChecking is false, and no local accessLocation is defined, an exception is thrown indicating nothing can be done.

2. If AIAChecking is true, and no local accessLocation is defined, then only the accessLocation(s) in the AIA will be used to try and determine revocaton status.

3. If AIAChecking is true, and a local accessLocation is defined, then any accessLocations contained in the AIA location of the certificate will first be checked. If no successful revocation status is found then the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configuraitons DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

4. If AIAChecking is false, and there is a locally defined accessLocation, the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configurations DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

The position is the integer position of the certificate in the chain. This position is not required, but if used may help to speed up Issuer certificate searches. Especially with long certificate chains.

Specified by:

check in interface RevocationChecker

Parameters:

certificate - the certificate which revocation will be checked

Throws:

CertificationException - if revocation status could not be determined.

RevocationException - if the status of the certificate was revoked.

check

public void check(X509Certificate cert,
         X509Certificate[] chain)
           throws CertificationException

The Main method of checking whether the certificate is revoked in the OCSP revocation checkers. There are four things that can be done:

1. If AIAChecking is false, and no local accessLocation is defined, an exception is thrown indicating nothing can be done.

2. If AIAChecking is true, and no local accessLocation is defined, then only the accessLocation(s) in the AIA will be used to try and determine revocaton status.

3. If AIAChecking is true, and a local accessLocation is defined, then any accessLocations contained in the AIA location of the certificate will first be checked. If no successful revocation status is found then the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configuraitons DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

4. If AIAChecking is false, and there is a locally defined accessLocation, the local accessLocation will be checked if the certificates issuer DN is configured in the local configurations DN list, or if there are no certificates in the DN list (indicating revocation should always be used for this responder).

Specified by:

check in interface RevocationChecker

Parameters:

cert - The certificate being checked for revocation

chain - the complete certificate chain in which cert is included.

Throws:

CertificationException - if no revocation information can be found.

RevocationException - if certificate is revoked.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests whether the OCSPConfiguration stored in the OCSPRevocationChecker object is equal to the OCSPConfiguration stored in the passed in OCSPRevocationChecker.

Overrides:
