Name

TrustAnchor

Synopsis

A TrustAnchor represents a certificate authority that is trusted to “anchor” a certificate chain. A TrustAnchor object includes the X.500 distinguished name of the CA and the public key of the CA. You may specify the name and key explictly or by passing an X509Certificate to the TrustAnchor( ) constructor. If you do not pass a certificate, you can specify the CA name as a String or as an X500Principal object from the javax.security.auth.x500 package. All forms of the TrustAnchor( ) constructor also allow you to specify a byte array containing a binary representation of a “Name Constraints” extension. The format and meaning of such name constraints is beyond the scope of this reference, and most applications can simply specify null for this constructor argument.

public class TrustAnchor {
// Public Constructors
     public TrustAnchor(X509Certificate trustedCert, byte[ ] nameConstraints);  
5.0  public TrustAnchor(javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal caPrincipal, 
        java.security.PublicKey pubKey,
        byte[ ] nameConstraints);  
     public TrustAnchor(String caName, java.security.PublicKey pubKey, 
        byte[ ] nameConstraints);  
// Public Instance Methods
                  5.0  public final javax.security.auth.x500.X500Principal getCA( );  
     public final String getCAName( );  
     public final java.security.PublicKey getCAPublicKey( );  
     public final byte[ ] getNameConstraints( );  
     public final X509Certificate getTrustedCert( );  
// Public Methods Overriding Object
     public String toString( );
