                        Date notBefore,
                        Date notAfter,
                        org.bouncycastle.asn1.x500.X500Name subject,
                        org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.SubjectPublicKeyInfo publicKeyInfo)

Create a builder for a version 3 certificate.

Parameters:

issuer - the certificate issuer

serial - the certificate serial number

notBefore - the date before which the certificate is not valid

notAfter - the date after which the certificate is not valid

subject - the certificate subject

publicKeyInfo - the info structure for the public key to be associated with this certificate.

Method Detail

setSubjectUniqueID

public X509v3CertificateBuilder setSubjectUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID)

Set the subjectUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.

Parameters:

uniqueID - a boolean array representing the bits making up the subjectUniqueID.

Returns:

this builder object.

setIssuerUniqueID

public X509v3CertificateBuilder setIssuerUniqueID(boolean[] uniqueID)

Set the issuerUniqueID - note: it is very rare that it is correct to do this.

Parameters:

uniqueID - a boolean array representing the bits making up the issuerUniqueID.

Returns:

this builder object.

addExtension

public X509v3CertificateBuilder addExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid,
                                    boolean isCritical,
                                    org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Encodable value)

Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3)

Parameters:

oid - the OID defining the extension type.

isCritical - true if the extension is critical, false otherwise.

value - the ASN.1 structure that forms the extension's value.

Returns:

this builder object.

copyAndAddExtension

public X509v3CertificateBuilder copyAndAddExtension(org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1ObjectIdentifier oid,
                                           boolean isCritical,
                                           X509CertificateHolder certHolder)

Add a given extension field for the standard extensions tag (tag 3) copying the extension value from another certificate.

Parameters:

oid - the OID defining the extension type.

isCritical - true if the copied extension is to be marked as critical, false otherwise.

certHolder - the holder for the certificate that the extension is to be copied from.

Returns:

this builder object.

build

public X509CertificateHolder build(ContentSigner signer)

Generate an X.509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the passed in signer.

Parameters:

signer - the content signer to be used to generate the signature validating the certificate.

Returns:

a holder containing the resulting signed certificate.
