                                                   throws CertificateException

    Generates and initializes a Certificate from the provided input stream.

    Parameters:

    inStream - the stream from which the data is read to create the certificate.

    Returns:

    an initialized certificate.

    Throws:

    CertificateException - if parsing problems are detected.

  • engineGenerateCertificates

    public abstract Collection<? extends Certificate> engineGenerateCertificates(InputStream inStream)
                                                                          throws CertificateException

    Generates and initializes a collection of certificates from the provided input stream.

    Parameters:

    inStream - the stream from where data is read to create the certificates.

    Returns:

    a collection of certificates.

    Throws:

    CertificateException - if parsing problems are detected.

  • engineGenerateCRL

    public abstract CRL engineGenerateCRL(InputStream inStream)
                                   throws CRLException

    Generates and initializes a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) from the provided input stream.

    Parameters:

    inStream - the stream from where data is read to create the CRL.

    Returns:

    an CRL instance.

    Throws:

    CRLException - if parsing problems are detected.

  • engineGenerateCRLs

    public abstract Collection<? extends CRL> engineGenerateCRLs(InputStream inStream)
                                                          throws CRLException

    Generates and initializes a collection of Certificate Revocation List (CRL) from the provided input stream.

    Parameters:

    inStream - the stream from which the data is read to create the CRLs.

    Returns:

    a collection of CRLs.

    Throws:

    CRLException - if parsing problems are detected.

  • engineGenerateCertPath

    public CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(InputStream inStream)
                                    throws CertificateException

    Generates a CertPath from the provided InputStream. The default encoding scheme is applied.

    Parameters:

    inStream - an input stream with encoded data.

    Returns:

    a CertPath initialized from the provided data.

    Throws:

    CertificateException - if parsing problems are detected.

  • engineGenerateCertPath

                                  String encoding)
                                    throws CertificateException

    Generates a CertPath from the provided InputStream in the specified encoding.

    Parameters:

    inStream - an input stream containing certificate path data in specified encoding.

    encoding - the encoding of the data in the input stream.

    Returns:

    a CertPath initialized from the provided data

    Throws:

    CertificateException - if parsing problems are detected.

    UnsupportedOperationException - if the provider does not implement this method.

  • engineGenerateCertPath

    public CertPath engineGenerateCertPath(List<? extends Certificate> certificates)
                                    throws CertificateException
