Method Summary

int	constrains(GeneralNameInterface inputName) Return type of constraint inputName places on this name: NAME_DIFF_TYPE = -1: input name is different type from name (i.e.
void	encode(DerOutputStream out) Encode the name to the specified DerOutputStream.
int	getType() Return the type of the general name, as defined above.

Method Detail

getType

int getType()

Return the type of the general name, as defined above.

encode

void encode(DerOutputStream out)
            throws IOException

Encode the name to the specified DerOutputStream.

Parameters:

out - the DerOutputStream to encode the GeneralName to.

Throws:

IOException - thrown if the GeneralName could not be encoded.

constrains

int constrains(GeneralNameInterface inputName)
               throws UnsupportedOperationException

Return type of constraint inputName places on this name:

• NAME_DIFF_TYPE = -1: input name is different type from name (i.e. does not constrain).
• NAME_MATCH = 0: input name matches name.
• NAME_NARROWS = 1: input name narrows name (is lower in the naming subtree)
• NAME_WIDENS = 2: input name widens name (is higher in the naming subtree)
• NAME_SAME_TYPE = 3: input name does not match or narrow name, but is same type.

. These results are used in checking NameConstraints during certification path verification.

Parameters:

inputName - to be checked for being constrained

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if name is same type, but comparison operations are not supported for this name type.

subtreeDepth

int subtreeDepth()
                 throws UnsupportedOperationException

Return subtree depth of this name for purposes of determining NameConstraints minimum and maximum bounds and for calculating path lengths in name subtrees.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if not supported for this name type
