Method Detail

decode

public T decode(byte[] encoded,
                Object... args)

Produces an object from an encoded representation.

Specified by:

decode in interface ASN1Decoder<T>

Parameters:

encoded - ASN.1 encoded data.

args - Additional data required to perform decoding.

Returns:

Decoded object.

tryConvertPem

protected byte[] tryConvertPem(byte[] input)

Tests the given encoded input and converts it to PEM if it is detected, stripping out any header/footer data in the process.

Parameters:

input - Encoded data that may be PEM encoded.

Returns:

Decoded data if PEM encoding detected, otherwise original data.

decryptKey

protected abstract byte[] decryptKey(byte[] encrypted,
                                     char[] password)

Decrypts an encrypted key in either PKCS#8 or OpenSSL "traditional" format. Both PEM and DER encodings are supported.

Parameters:

encrypted - Encoded encrypted key data.

password - Password to decrypt key.

Returns:

Decrypted key.

decodeASN1

protected abstract T decodeASN1(byte[] encoded)

Decodes the given raw ASN.1 encoded data into a private key of the type supported by this class.

Parameters:

encoded - Encoded ASN.1 data.

Returns:

Private key object.
