java.lang.Object
  org.gudy.bouncycastle.jce.X509V3CertificateGenerator

public class X509V3CertificateGenerator
extends Object

class to produce an X.509 Version 3 certificate.

Constructor Summary

X509V3CertificateGenerator()

Method Summary

void	addExtension(DERObjectIdentifier OID, boolean critical, byte[] value) add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)
void	addExtension(DERObjectIdentifier OID, boolean critical, DEREncodable value) add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)
void	addExtension(String OID, boolean critical, byte[] value) add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3) The value parameter becomes the contents of the octet string associated with the extension.
void	addExtension(String OID, boolean critical, DEREncodable value) add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)
X509Certificate	generateX509Certificate(PrivateKey key) generate an X509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the default provider "BC".
X509Certificate	generateX509Certificate(PrivateKey key, SecureRandom random) generate an X509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the default provider "BC", and the passed in source of randomness (if required).
X509Certificate	generateX509Certificate(PrivateKey key, String provider) generate an X509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject, using the passed in provider for the signing.
X509Certificate	generateX509Certificate(PrivateKey key, String provider, SecureRandom random) generate an X509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject, using the passed in provider for the signing and the supplied source of randomness, if required.
void	reset() reset the generator
void	setIssuerDN(X509Name issuer) Set the issuer distinguished name - the issuer is the entity whose private key is used to sign the certificate.
void	setNotAfter(Date date)
void	setNotBefore(Date date)
void	setPublicKey(PublicKey key)
void	setSerialNumber(BigInteger serialNumber) set the serial number for the certificate.
void	setSignatureAlgorithm(String signatureAlgorithm)
void	setSubjectDN(X509Name subject) Set the subject distinguished name.
