Class Identity  

java.lang.Object
  java.security.Identity

All Implemented Interfaces:

Principal, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

IdentityScope, Signer

---

Deprecated. Replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.

public abstract class Identity

extends java.lang.Object

implements Principal, java.io.Serializable

The Identity class is used to represent people and companies that can be authenticated using public key encryption. The identities can also be abstract objects such as smart cards.

Identity objects store a name and public key for each identity. The names cannot be changed and the identities can be scoped. Each identity (name and public key) within a scope are unique to that scope.

Each identity has a set of ceritificates which all specify the same public key, but not necessarily the same name.

The Identity class can be subclassed to allow additional information to be attached to it.

Method Detail

getName

public final java.lang.String getName()

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: Principal

This method returns a String that names this Principal.

Specified by:

getName in interface Principal

---

getScope

public final IdentityScope getScope()

Deprecated. 

---

getPublicKey

public PublicKey getPublicKey()

Deprecated. 

---

setPublicKey

public void setPublicKey(PublicKey key)
                  throws KeyManagementException

Deprecated. 

Sets the public key for this identity. The old key and all certificates are removed.

---

setInfo

public void setInfo(java.lang.String info)

Deprecated. 

Sets the general information string.

---

getInfo

public java.lang.String getInfo()

Deprecated. 

---

addCertificate

public void addCertificate(Certificate certificate)
                    throws KeyManagementException

Deprecated. 

Adds a certificate to the list of ceritificates for this identity. The public key in this certificate must match the existing public key if it exists.

---

removeCertificate

public void removeCertificate(Certificate certificate)
                       throws KeyManagementException

Deprecated. 

Removes a certificate from the list of ceritificates for this identity.

---

certificates

public Certificate[] certificates()

Deprecated. 

---

equals

public final boolean equals(java.lang.Object identity)

Deprecated. 

Checks for equality between this Identity and a specified object. It first checks if they are the same object, then if the name and scope match and returns true if successful. If these tests fail, the identityEquals(Identity) 55 method is called.

Specified by:

equals in interface Principal

---

identityEquals

protected boolean identityEquals(Identity identity)

Deprecated. 

Checks for equality between this Identity and a specified object. A subclass should override this method. The default behavior is to return true if the public key and names match.

---

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Deprecated. 

Returns a string representation of this Identity.

Specified by:

toString in interface Principal

---

toString

public java.lang.String toString(boolean detailed)

Deprecated. 

Returns a detailed string representation of this Identity.

---

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Deprecated. 

Description copied from interface: Principal

This method returns a hash code value for this Principal. Remember the contract of hashCode - two objects which compare as equals() must have the same hashCode().

Specified by:

hashCode in interface Principal
