namespace Akenti class OpenSSLCertificateFactoryImpl : public CertificateFactoryImpl

A subclass of CertficateFactoryImpl that is used to create OpenSSLCertificates or OpenSSLCertificateReqests from encoded representations of these objects, to create Generators for OpenSSLCertificates or OpenSSLCertificateRequests, and to encode OpenSSLCertficates or OpenSSLCertificateRequests for exporting

Certificate initCertificate(const string& type, const string& encoding) const

Returns a Certificate containing a OpenSSLX509CertificateImpl which has been initialized from the encoded string. The type specifies the type of encoding the string is in, e.g. DER or PEM.

Throws:

SecurityException if either type is unsupported or if decoding fails

Returns:

a Certificate

Parameters:

type - the Certificate's encoding type
encoding - a string of bytes

See Also:

CertificateFactory
CertificateFactoryImpl

string getCertificateEncoded(const string& type, const Certificate& certificate) const

Encodes the Certificate using an encoding specified by type. It assumes that the Certificate holds a OpenSSLX509CertificateImpl and the type is one supported by the X509 libraries (e.g. PEM or DER)

Throws:

Error if certificate is unitialized or unrecognized
SecurityException if type is unsupported or if the encoding fails

Returns:

encoding a string of bytes

Parameters:

type - string specifies the type to be used
certificate - Certificate to be encoded

See Also:

Certificate
CertificateImpl

CertificateGenerator getCertificateGenerator(const string& type) const

Return an instance of CertificateGenerator which holds an OpenSSLCertificateGeneratorImpl.

Parameters:

type - not used currently but here to match the CertificateFactoryImpl interface.

See Also:

CertificateGenerator
CertificateGeneratorImpl

CertificateRequest initCertificateRequest(const string& type, const string& encoding) const

Returns a CertificateRequest which holds an OpenSSLCertificateRequestImpl. The type specifies the type of encoding used by the string representation of the CertificateRequest, e.g. DER or PEM.

Throws:

SecurityException if type is unsupported or if decoding fails

Returns:

a CertificateRequest

Parameters:

type - the CertificateRequest's encoding type
encoding - a string of bytes

See Also:

CertificateRequest
CertificateRequestImpl

string getCertificateRequestEncoded(const string& type, const CertificateRequest& request) const

Encodes the CertificateRequst which is assumed to contain an OpenSSLCertificateRequestImpl, using an encoding type specified by type.

Throws:

Error if request is unitialized or unrecognized
SecurityException if type is unsupported or if the encoding fails

Returns:

encoding a string of bytes

Parameters:

type - string specifies the type of encoding to be used
request - CertificateRequest to be encoded

See Also:

CertificateRequest
CertificateRequestImpl

CertificateRequestGenerator getCertificateRequestGenerator(const string& type) const

Return an instance of CertificateRequestGenerator wrapping an OpenSSLCertificateGeneratorImpl.type is included as a parameter to match the CertificateFactoryImpl method, but is not used here.

Parameters:

type - not used.

See Also:

CertificateRequestGenerator
CertificateRequestGeneratorImpl

CertificateRevocationList initCRL(const string& crl, const string& type) const

Return an instance of CertificateRevocationList wrapping an OpenSSLCRLImpl. type is included as a parameter to indicate which type of encoding has been used to create the crl supplied

Parameters:

crl - string that refers to the CRL
type - string that refers to the type of CRL encoding

See Also:

CertificateRevocationList

CertificateRevocationList initCRLFromFile(const string& crlfile, const string& type) const

Return an instance of CertificateRevocationList wrapping an OpenSSLCRLImpl. type is included as a parameter to indicate which type of encoding has been used to create the crlfile that is supplied

Parameters:

crl - string that refers to the CRL filename
type - string that refers to the type of CRL encoding
