Method Detail

init

public static void init()

A no-op function that can be used to force the class to load and initialize.

setProvider

public static void setProvider(String providerName)

Sets a provider name to use for loading certificates and for generating key pairs.

Parameters:

providerName - provider name to use.

getCertificateFactory

protected static CertificateFactory getCertificateFactory()
                                                   throws GeneralSecurityException

Returns appropriate CertificateFactory. If provider was set a provider-specific CertificateFactory will be used. Otherwise, a default CertificateFactory will be used.

Returns:

CertificateFactory

loadCertificate

public static X509Certificate loadCertificate(InputStream in)
                                       throws GeneralSecurityException

Loads a X509 certificate from the specified input stream. Input stream must contain DER-encoded certificate.

Parameters:

in - the input stream to read the certificate from.

Returns:

X509Certificate the loaded certificate.

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException - if certificate failed to load.

loadCertificate

public static X509Certificate loadCertificate(String file)
                                       throws IOException,
                                              GeneralSecurityException

Loads an X509 certificate from the specified file. It reads only what is in between the lines containing "BEGIN CERTIFICATE" and "END".

Parameters:

file - the certificate file to load the certificate from.

Returns:

java.security.cert.X509Certificate the loaded certificate.

Throws:

IOException - if I/O error occurs

GeneralSecurityException - if security problems occurs.

toGlobusID

public static String toGlobusID(String dn)

Converts DN of the form "CN=foo, O=bar" into Globus format "/CN=foo/O=bar" (in the reverse way)

Parameters:

dn - the DN to convert to Globus format.

Returns:

the converted DN in Globus format.

toGlobusID(String, boolean)

toGlobusID

public static String toGlobusID(String dn,
                                boolean reverse)

Converts DN of the form "CN=foo, O=bar" into Globus format "/CN=foo/O=bar".

Parameters:

dn - the DN to convert to Globus format.

reverse - the direction of the conversion.

Returns:

the converted DN in Globus format.

installSecureRandomProvider

public static void installSecureRandomProvider()

Installs SecureRandom provider. This function is automatically called when this class is loaded.

generateKeyPair

public static KeyPair generateKeyPair(String algorithm,
                                      int bits)
                               throws GeneralSecurityException

Generates a key pair of given algorithm and strength.

Parameters:

algorithm - the algorithm of the key pair.

bits - the strength

Returns:

KeyPair the generated key pair.

Throws:

GeneralSecurityException - if something goes wrong.
