Member Function Documentation

virtual bool decaf::security::cert::Certificate::equals

(

const Certificate &

cert

)

const [pure virtual]

Compares the encoded form of the two certificates.

Parameters:

cert

The certificate to be tested for equality with this certificate.

Returns:

true if the given certificate is equal to this certificate.

virtual void decaf::security::cert::Certificate::getEncoded

(

std::vector< unsigned char > &

output

)

const [pure virtual]

Provides the encoded form of this certificate.

Parameters:

output

Receives the encoded form of this certificate.

Exceptions:

CertificateEncodingException

if an encoding error occurs

virtual const PublicKey* decaf::security::cert::Certificate::getPublicKey

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Gets the public key of this certificate.

Returns:

the public key

virtual PublicKey* decaf::security::cert::Certificate::getPublicKey

(

)

[pure virtual]

Gets the public key of this certificate.

Returns:

the public key

virtual std::string decaf::security::cert::Certificate::getType

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the type of this certificate.

Returns:

the type of this certificate

virtual std::string decaf::security::cert::Certificate::toString

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns a string representation of this certificate.

Returns:

a string representation of this certificate

virtual void decaf::security::cert::Certificate::verify	(	const PublicKey &	publicKey,
		const std::string &	sigProvider
	)			const [pure virtual]

Verifies that this certificate was signed with the private key that corresponds to the specified public key.

Uses the verification engine of the specified provider.

Parameters:

	publicKey	The public key used to carry out the validation.
	sigProvider	The name of the signature provider

Exceptions:

	NoSuchAlgorithmException	- on unsupported signature algorithms.
	InvalidKeyException	- on incorrect key.
	NoSuchProviderException	- if there's no default provider.
	SignatureException	- on signature errors.
	CertificateException	- on encoding errors.

virtual void decaf::security::cert::Certificate::verify

(

const PublicKey &

publicKey

)

const [pure virtual]

Verifies that this certificate was signed with the private key that corresponds to the specified public key.

Parameters:

publicKey

The public key used to carry out the validation.

Exceptions:

	NoSuchAlgorithmException	- on unsupported signature algorithms.
	InvalidKeyException	- on incorrect key.
	NoSuchProviderException	- if there's no default provider.
	SignatureException	- on signature errors.
	CertificateException	- on encoding errors.
