X509CRL

abstract class X509CRL : CRL, X509Extension

kotlin.Any
↳	java.security.cert.CRL
	↳	java.security.cert.X509CRL

Abstract class for an X.509 Certificate Revocation List (CRL). A CRL is a time-stamped list identifying revoked certificates. It is signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) and made freely available in a public repository.

Each revoked certificate is identified in a CRL by its certificate serial number. When a certificate-using system uses a certificate (e.g., for verifying a remote user's digital signature), that system not only checks the certificate signature and validity but also acquires a suitably- recent CRL and checks that the certificate serial number is not on that CRL. The meaning of "suitably-recent" may vary with local policy, but it usually means the most recently-issued CRL. A CA issues a new CRL on a regular periodic basis (e.g., hourly, daily, or weekly). Entries are added to CRLs as revocations occur, and an entry may be removed when the certificate expiration date is reached.

The X.509 v2 CRL format is described below in ASN.1:

CertificateList  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
      tbsCertList          TBSCertList,
      signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
      signature            BIT STRING  }
  

More information can be found in RFC 3280: Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.

The ASN.1 definition of tbsCertList is:

TBSCertList  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
      version                 Version OPTIONAL,
                              -- if present, must be v2
      signature               AlgorithmIdentifier,
      issuer                  Name,
      thisUpdate              ChoiceOfTime,
      nextUpdate              ChoiceOfTime OPTIONAL,
      revokedCertificates     SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE  {
          userCertificate         CertificateSerialNumber,
          revocationDate          ChoiceOfTime,
          crlEntryExtensions      Extensions OPTIONAL
                                  -- if present, must be v2
          }  OPTIONAL,
      crlExtensions           [0]  EXPLICIT Extensions OPTIONAL
                                   -- if present, must be v2
      }
  

CRLs are instantiated using a certificate factory. The following is an example of how to instantiate an X.509 CRL:

<code>try (InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream("fileName-of-crl")) {
      CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
      X509CRL crl = (X509CRL)cf.generateCRL(inStream);
  }
  </code>

Inherited functions
From class X509Extension MutableSet<String!>! getCriticalExtensionOIDs() Gets a Set of the OID strings for the extension(s) marked CRITICAL in the certificate/CRL managed by the object implementing this interface. Here is sample code to get a Set of critical extensions from an X509Certificate and print the OIDs: <code>X509Certificate cert = null; try (InputStream inStrm = new FileInputStream("DER-encoded-Cert")) { CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509"); cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStrm); } Set&lt;String&gt; critSet = cert.getCriticalExtensionOIDs(); if (critSet != null &amp;&amp; !critSet.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("Set of critical extensions:"); for (String oid : critSet) { System.out.println(oid); } } </code> ByteArray! getExtensionValue(oid: String!) Gets the DER-encoded OCTET string for the extension value (extnValue) identified by the passed-in oid String. The oid string is represented by a set of nonnegative whole numbers separated by periods.

Public methods

equals

Added in API level 1

open fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compares this CRL for equality with the given object. If the other object is an instanceof X509CRL, then its encoded form is retrieved and compared with the encoded form of this CRL.

Parameters
obj	the reference object with which to compare.
other	Any?: the object to test for equality with this CRL.

Return
Boolean	true iff the encoded forms of the two CRLs match, false otherwise.

getEncoded

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getEncoded(): ByteArray!

Returns the ASN.1 DER-encoded form of this CRL.

Return
ByteArray!	the encoded form of this certificate

Exceptions
java.security.cert.CRLException	if an encoding error occurs.

getIssuerDN

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getIssuerDN(): Principal!

Denigrated, replaced by getIssuerX500Principal(). This method returns the issuer as an implementation specific Principal object, which should not be relied upon by portable code.

Gets the issuer (issuer distinguished name) value from the CRL. The issuer name identifies the entity that signed (and issued) the CRL.

The issuer name field contains an X.500 distinguished name (DN). The ASN.1 definition for this is:

issuer    Name
 
  Name ::= CHOICE { RDNSequence }
  RDNSequence ::= SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedName
  RelativeDistinguishedName ::=
      SET OF AttributeValueAssertion
 
  AttributeValueAssertion ::= SEQUENCE {
                                AttributeType,
                                AttributeValue }
  AttributeType ::= OBJECT IDENTIFIER
  AttributeValue ::= ANY
  

The Name describes a hierarchical name composed of attributes, such as country name, and corresponding values, such as US. The type of the AttributeValue component is determined by the AttributeType; in general it will be a directoryString. A directoryString is usually one of PrintableString, TeletexString or UniversalString.

Return
Principal!	a Principal whose name is the issuer distinguished name.

getIssuerX500Principal

Added in API level 1

open fun getIssuerX500Principal(): X500Principal!

Returns the issuer (issuer distinguished name) value from the CRL as an X500Principal.

It is recommended that subclasses override this method.

getNextUpdate

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getNextUpdate(): Date!

Gets the nextUpdate date from the CRL.

Return
Date!	the nextUpdate date from the CRL, or null if not present.

getRevokedCertificate

Added in API level 1

open fun getRevokedCertificate(certificate: X509Certificate!): X509CRLEntry!

Get the CRL entry, if any, for the given certificate.

This method can be used to lookup CRL entries in indirect CRLs, that means CRLs that contain entries from issuers other than the CRL issuer. The default implementation will only return entries for certificates issued by the CRL issuer. Subclasses that wish to support indirect CRLs should override this method.

Parameters
certificate	X509Certificate!: the certificate for which a CRL entry is to be looked up

Return
X509CRLEntry!	the entry for the given certificate, or null if no such entry exists in this CRL.

Exceptions

getSigAlgName

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getSigAlgName(): String!

Gets the signature algorithm name for the CRL signature algorithm. An example is the string "SHA256withRSA". The ASN.1 definition for this is:

signatureAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier
 
  AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
      algorithm               OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
      parameters              ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL  }
                              -- contains a value of the type
                              -- registered for use with the
                              -- algorithm object identifier value
  

The algorithm name is determined from the algorithm OID string.

Return
String!	the signature algorithm name.

getSigAlgOID

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getSigAlgOID(): String!

Gets the signature algorithm OID string from the CRL. An OID is represented by a set of nonnegative whole numbers separated by periods. For example, the string "1.2.840.10040.4.3" identifies the SHA-1 with DSA signature algorithm defined in RFC 3279: Algorithms and Identifiers for the Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile.

See getSigAlgName for relevant ASN.1 definitions.

Return
String!	the signature algorithm OID string.

getSigAlgParams

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getSigAlgParams(): ByteArray!

Gets the DER-encoded signature algorithm parameters from this CRL's signature algorithm. In most cases, the signature algorithm parameters are null; the parameters are usually supplied with the public key. If access to individual parameter values is needed then use AlgorithmParameters and instantiate with the name returned by getSigAlgName.

See getSigAlgName for relevant ASN.1 definitions.

Return
ByteArray!	the DER-encoded signature algorithm parameters, or null if no parameters are present.

getSignature

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getSignature(): ByteArray!

Gets the signature value (the raw signature bits) from the CRL. The ASN.1 definition for this is:

Exceptions
java.security.cert.CRLException	if an encoding error occurs.

getThisUpdate

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getThisUpdate(): Date!

      generalTime    GeneralizedTime }
  

Return
Date!	the thisUpdate date from the CRL.

getVersion

Added in API level 1

abstract fun getVersion(): Int

Gets the version (version number) value from the CRL. The ASN.1 definition for this is:
