Package org.bouncycastle.asn1

Class DERUniversalString

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object

org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive

org.bouncycastle.asn1.DERUniversalString

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Encodable, ASN1String, Encodable

public class DERUniversalString
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String

DER UniversalString object - encodes UNICODE (ISO 10646) characters using 32-bit format. In Java we have no way of representing this directly so we rely on byte arrays to carry these.

Constructor Details

DERUniversalString

public DERUniversalString(byte[] string)

Basic constructor - byte encoded string.

Parameters:

string - the byte encoding of the string to be carried in the UniversalString object,

Method Details

getInstance

public static DERUniversalString getInstance(Object obj)

Return a Universal String from the passed in object.

Parameters:

obj - a DERUniversalString or an object that can be converted into one.

Returns:

a DERUniversalString instance, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

getInstance

public static DERUniversalString getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
 boolean explicit)

Return a Universal String from a tagged object.

Parameters:

obj - the tagged object holding the object we want

explicit - true if the object is meant to be explicitly tagged false otherwise.

Returns:

a DERUniversalString instance, or null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

getString

Description copied from interface: ASN1String

Return a Java String representation of this STRING type's content.

Specified by:

Returns:

a Java String representation of this STRING.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getOctets

public byte[] getOctets()

hashCode
