Class SMIMESigned

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.cms.CMSSignedData

org.bouncycastle.mail.smime.SMIMESigned

public class SMIMESigned
extends CMSSignedData

general class for handling a pkcs7-signature message.

A simple example of usage - note, in the example below the validity of the certificate isn't verified, just the fact that one of the certs matches the given signer...

  CertStore               certs = s.getCertificates("Collection", "BC");
  SignerInformationStore  signers = s.getSignerInfos();
  Collection              c = signers.getSigners();
  Iterator                it = c.iterator();
  
  while (it.hasNext())
  {
      SignerInformation   signer = (SignerInformation)it.next();
      Collection          certCollection = certs.getCertificates(signer.getSID());
  
      Iterator        certIt = certCollection.iterator();
      X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)certIt.next();
  
      if (signer.verify(cert.getPublicKey()))
      {
          verified++;
      }   
  }
 

Note: if you are using this class with AS2 or some other protocol that does not use 7bit as the default content transfer encoding you will need to use the constructor that allows you to specify the default content transfer encoding, such as "binary".

SMIMESigned

public SMIMESigned(javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart message)
            throws javax.mail.MessagingException,
                   CMSException

base constructor using a defaultContentTransferEncoding of 7bit

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - on an error extracting the signature or otherwise processing the message.

CMSException - if some other problem occurs.

SMIMESigned

public SMIMESigned(javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart message,
           String defaultContentTransferEncoding)
            throws javax.mail.MessagingException,

base constructor with settable contentTransferEncoding

Parameters:

message - the signed message

defaultContentTransferEncoding - new default to use

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - on an error extracting the signature or otherwise processing the message.

SMIMESigned

public SMIMESigned(javax.mail.Part message)
            throws javax.mail.MessagingException,
                   CMSException,
                   SMIMEException

base constructor for a signed message with encapsulated content.

Throws:

javax.mail.MessagingException - on an error extracting the signature or otherwise processing the message.

SMIMEException - if the body part encapsulated in the message cannot be extracted.

CMSException - if some other problem occurs.
