Java x509 certificate extension

Interface for an X.509 extension. The extensions defined for X.509 v3 Certificates and v2 CRLs (Certificate Revocation Lists) provide methods for associating additional attributes with users or public keys, for managing the certification hierarchy, and for managing CRL distribution. The X.509 extensions format also allows communities to define private extensions to carry information unique to those communities. Each extension in a certificate/CRL may be designated as critical or non-critical. A certificate/CRL-using system (an application validating a certificate/CRL) must reject the certificate/CRL if it encounters a critical extension it does not recognize. A non-critical extension may be ignored if it is not recognized. The ASN.1 definition for this is:

Extensions ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (1..MAX) OF Extension Extension ::= SEQUENCE

Since not all extensions are known, the getExtensionValue method returns the DER-encoded OCTET STRING of the extension value (i.e., the extnValue ). This can then be handled by a Class that understands the extension.

Method Summary

Gets a Set of the OID strings for the extension(s) marked CRITICAL in the certificate/CRL managed by the object implementing this interface.

Gets the DER-encoded OCTET string for the extension value (extnValue) identified by the passed-in oid String.

Gets a Set of the OID strings for the extension(s) marked NON-CRITICAL in the certificate/CRL managed by the object implementing this interface.

hasUnsupportedCriticalExtension

boolean hasUnsupportedCriticalExtension()

getCriticalExtensionOIDs

SetString> getCriticalExtensionOIDs()

Gets a Set of the OID strings for the extension(s) marked CRITICAL in the certificate/CRL managed by the object implementing this interface. Here is sample code to get a Set of critical extensions from an X509Certificate and print the OIDs:

 X509Certificate cert = null; try (InputStream inStrm = new FileInputStream("DER-encoded-Cert")) < CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStrm); >Set critSet = cert.getCriticalExtensionOIDs(); if (critSet != null && !critSet.isEmpty()) < System.out.println("Set of critical extensions:"); for (String oid : critSet) < System.out.println(oid); >>

getNonCriticalExtensionOIDs

SetString> getNonCriticalExtensionOIDs()

Gets a Set of the OID strings for the extension(s) marked NON-CRITICAL in the certificate/CRL managed by the object implementing this interface. Here is sample code to get a Set of non-critical extensions from an X509CRL revoked certificate entry and print the OIDs:

 CertificateFactory cf = null; X509CRL crl = null; try (InputStream inStrm = new FileInputStream("DER-encoded-CRL")) < cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); crl = (X509CRL)cf.generateCRL(inStrm); >byte[] certData = ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(certData); X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(bais); X509CRLEntry badCert = crl.getRevokedCertificate(cert.getSerialNumber()); if (badCert != null) < SetnonCritSet = badCert.getNonCriticalExtensionOIDs(); if (nonCritSet != null) for (String oid : nonCritSet) < System.out.println(oid); >>

getExtensionValue

Gets the DER-encoded OCTET string for the extension value (extnValue) identified by the passed-in oid String. The oid string is represented by a set of nonnegative whole numbers separated by periods. For example:

OID (Object Identifier)	Extension Name
2.5.29.14	SubjectKeyIdentifier
2.5.29.15	KeyUsage
2.5.29.16	PrivateKeyUsage
2.5.29.17	SubjectAlternativeName
2.5.29.18	IssuerAlternativeName
2.5.29.19	BasicConstraints
2.5.29.30	NameConstraints
2.5.29.33	PolicyMappings
2.5.29.35	AuthorityKeyIdentifier
2.5.29.36	PolicyConstraints
