Method Summary

String	getAlgorithm(String alias) Returns the standard algorithm name for this key.
Set<String>	getAliases() Method for obtaining all the aliases that are supported by the distributed keystore.
List<X509Certificate>	getCertificateChain(String alias) Method for obtaining the certificate chain based on the distriubted keystore and the alias.
byte[]	sign(byte[] digestValue, String digestAlgo, String alias) Method used for signing a already calculated digest.

Method Detail

sign

byte[] sign(byte[] digestValue,
            String digestAlgo,
            String alias)
            throws SignatureException

Method used for signing a already calculated digest.

Throws:

SignatureException

getAliases

Set<String> getAliases()

Method for obtaining all the aliases that are supported by the distributed keystore.

getCertificateChain

List<X509Certificate> getCertificateChain(String alias)

Method for obtaining the certificate chain based on the distriubted keystore and the alias. The first entry of the list is the actual certificate. The second entry the CA of your certificate. The third entry should be CA of the CA of you certificate. ...

getAlgorithm

String getAlgorithm(String alias)

Returns the standard algorithm name for this key. For example, "RSA" would indicate that this key is a RSA key. See Appendix A in the Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference

Parameters:

alias -

Returns:

the name of the algorithm associated with this key.
