Interface CertificateResponse

All Superinterfaces:

ASN1Type

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingleResponse

public interface CertificateResponse
extends ASN1Type

An OCSP response for a single certificate.

Interface to be implemented by any class representing a response message for a single certificate.

The main purpose of this interface is to enforce that any certificate response easily can be identified by the CertID of the underlying target certificate:

   CertID ::= SEQUENCE {
   hashAlgorithm      AlgorithmIdentifier,
   issuerNameHash     OCTET STRING, -- Hash of Issuer's DN
   issuerKeyHash      OCTET STRING, -- Hash of Issuers public key
   serialNumber       CertificateSerialNumber }    
 

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
CertID	getCertID() Returns the CertID of this certificate response.
boolean	isResponseFor(CertID certid) Checks if this is a certificate response for a certificate identified by the given CertID.
boolean	isResponseFor(X509Certificate targetCert, X509Certificate issuerCert) Checks if this is a certificate response for the given certificate identifying information.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a String representation of this certificate response.

Method Detail

getCertID

CertID getCertID()

Returns the CertID of this certificate response.

Returns:

the CertID identifying the target certificate.

isResponseFor

boolean isResponseFor(X509Certificate targetCert,
                    X509Certificate issuerCert)
                      throws OCSPException

Checks if this is a certificate response for the given certificate identifying information.

This method only returns true if the supplied informations fit to CertID of this response and identify the same certificate. In any other case this method returns false

Parameters:

targetCert - the target cert, if required

issuerCert - the cert of the target cert issuer, if required

Returns:

true if this is a response for the target certificate asked for; or false if this is not a response for the target certificate in mind

Throws:

OCSPException - if some processing error occurs, e.g. if the certID´s hash algorithm is not supported by the installed providers

isResponseFor

boolean isResponseFor(CertID certid)

Checks if this is a certificate response for a certificate identified by the given CertID.

Parameters:

certid - the CertID identifying the certificate in mind true if this is a certificate response for the certificate identified by the given CertID, false if not

toString

java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this certificate response.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a String representation
