Adds a name to the pathToNames criterion.

  Adds a name to the pathToNames criterion. The X509Certificate must not include name constraints that would prohibit building a path to the specified name.

This method allows the caller to add a name to the set of names which the X509Certificates's name constraints must permit. The specified name is added to any previous value for the pathToNames criterion. If the name is a duplicate, it may be ignored.

The name is provided as a byte array. This byte array should contain the DER encoded name, as it would appear in the GeneralName structure defined in RFC 2459 and X.509. The ASN.1 definition of this structure appears in the documentation for addSubjectAlternativeName(int type, byte [] name).

Note that the byte array supplied here is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- type - the name type (0-8, as specified in RFC 2459, section 4.2.1.7)
- name - a byte array containing the name in ASN.1 DER encoded form
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs

  Adds a name to the pathToNames criterion.

  Adds a name to the pathToNames criterion. The X509Certificate must not include name constraints that would prohibit building a path to the specified name.

This method allows the caller to add a name to the set of names which the X509Certificates's name constraints must permit. The specified name is added to any previous value for the pathToNames criterion. If the name is a duplicate, it may be ignored.

The name is provided in string format. RFC 822, DNS, and URI names use the well-established string formats for those types (subject to the restrictions included in RFC 2459). IPv4 address names are supplied using dotted quad notation. OID address names are represented as a series of nonnegative integers separated by periods. And directory names (distinguished names) are supplied in RFC 2253 format. No standard string format is defined for otherNames, X.400 names, EDI party names, IPv6 address names, or any other type of names. They should be specified using the addPathToName(int type, byte [] name) method.

Note: for distinguished names, use X509CertSelector.addPathToName(int, byte[]) instead. This method should not be relied on as it can fail to match some certificates because of a loss of encoding information in the RFC 2253 String form of some distinguished names.
Parameters:
- type - the name type (0-8, as specified in RFC 2459, section 4.2.1.7)
- name - the name in string form
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs

This method allows the caller to add a name to the set of subject alternative names. The specified name is added to any previous value for the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. If the specified name is a duplicate, it may be ignored.

The name is provided as a byte array. This byte array should contain the DER encoded name, as it would appear in the GeneralName structure defined in RFC 2459 and X.509. The encoded byte array should only contain the encoded value of the name, and should not include the tag associated with the name in the GeneralName structure. The ASN.1 definition of this structure appears below.

  Sets the authorityKeyIdentifier criterion.

  Sets the authorityKeyIdentifier criterion. The X509Certificate must contain an AuthorityKeyIdentifier extension for which the contents of the extension value matches the specified criterion value. If the criterion value is null, no authorityKeyIdentifier check will be done.

If authorityKeyID is not null, it should contain a single DER encoded value corresponding to the contents of the extension value (not including the object identifier, criticality setting, and encapsulating OCTET STRING) for an AuthorityKeyIdentifier extension. The ASN.1 notation for this structure follows.

 AuthorityKeyIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
    keyIdentifier             [0] KeyIdentifier           OPTIONAL,
    authorityCertIssuer       [1] GeneralNames            OPTIONAL,
    authorityCertSerialNumber [2] CertificateSerialNumber OPTIONAL  }

 KeyIdentifier ::= OCTET STRING
 

Authority key identifiers are not parsed by the X509CertSelector. Instead, the values are compared using a byte-by-byte comparison.

When the keyIdentifier field of AuthorityKeyIdentifier is populated, the value is usually taken from the SubjectKeyIdentifier extension in the issuer's certificate. Note, however, that the result of X509Certificate.getExtensionValue(<SubjectKeyIdentifier Object Identifier>) on the issuer's certificate may NOT be used directly as the input to setAuthorityKeyIdentifier. This is because the SubjectKeyIdentifier contains only a KeyIdentifier OCTET STRING, and not a SEQUENCE of KeyIdentifier, GeneralNames, and CertificateSerialNumber. In order to use the extension value of the issuer certificate's SubjectKeyIdentifier extension, it will be necessary to extract the value of the embedded KeyIdentifier OCTET STRING, then DER encode this OCTET STRING inside a SEQUENCE. For more details on SubjectKeyIdentifier, see X509CertSelector.setSubjectKeyIdentifier(byte[] subjectKeyID).

Note also that the byte array supplied here is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- authorityKeyID - the authority key identifier (or null)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getAuthorityKeyIdentifier(),

  Sets the basic constraints constraint.

  Sets the basic constraints constraint. If the value is greater than or equal to zero, X509Certificates must include a basicConstraints extension with a pathLen of at least this value. If the value is -2, only end-entity certificates are accepted. If the value is -1, no check is done.

This constraint is useful when building a certification path forward (from the target toward the trust anchor. If a partial path has been built, any candidate certificate must have a maxPathLen value greater than or equal to the number of certificates in the partial path.
Parameters:
- minMaxPathLen - the value for the basic constraints constraint
Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException - if the value is less than -2
See Also: X509CertSelector.getBasicConstraints(),

  Sets the certificateEquals criterion.

  Sets the certificateEquals criterion. The specified X509Certificate must be equal to the X509Certificate passed to the match method. If null, then this check is not applied.

This method is particularly useful when it is necessary to match a single certificate. Although other criteria can be specified in conjunction with the certificateEquals criterion, it is usually not practical or necessary.
Parameters:
- cert - the X509Certificate to match (or null)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getCertificate(),

  Sets the certificateValid criterion.

  Sets the certificateValid criterion. The specified date must fall within the certificate validity period for the X509Certificate. If null, no certificateValid check will be done.

See Also: X509CertSelector.getCertificateValid(),

  Sets the extendedKeyUsage criterion.

  Sets the extendedKeyUsage criterion. The X509Certificate must allow the specified key purposes in its extended key usage extension. If keyPurposeSet is empty or null, no extendedKeyUsage check will be done. Note that an X509Certificate that has no extendedKeyUsage extension implicitly allows all key purposes.

Note that the Set is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- keyPurposeSet - a Set of key purpose OIDs in string format (or null). Each OID is represented by a set of nonnegative integers separated by periods.
Throws:
- IOException - if the OID is invalid, such as the first component being not 0, 1 or 2 or the second component being greater than 39.
See Also: X509CertSelector.getExtendedKeyUsage(),

  Sets the issuer criterion.

  Sets the issuer criterion. The specified distinguished name must match the issuer distinguished name in the X509Certificate. If null is specified, the issuer criterion is disabled and any issuer distinguished name will do.

This method allows the caller to specify, with a single method call, the complete set of names which the X509Certificates's name constraints must permit. The specified value replaces the previous value for the pathToNames criterion.

This constraint is useful when building a certification path forward (from the target toward the trust anchor. If a partial path has been built, any candidate certificate must not include name constraints that would prohibit building a path to any of the names in the partial path.

The names parameter (if not null) is a Collection with one entry for each name to be included in the pathToNames criterion. Each entry is a List whose first entry is an Integer (the name type, 0-8) and whose second entry is a String or a byte array (the name, in string or ASN.1 DER encoded form, respectively). There can be multiple names of the same type. If null is supplied as the value for this argument, no pathToNames check will be performed.

Each name in the Collection may be specified either as a String or as an ASN.1 encoded byte array. For more details about the formats used, see addPathToName(int type, String name) and addPathToName(int type, byte [] name).

Note: for distinguished names, specify the byte array form instead of the String form. See the note in X509CertSelector.addPathToName(int, String) for more information.

Note that the names parameter can contain duplicate names (same name and name type), but they may be removed from the Collection of names returned by the getPathToNames method.

Note that a deep copy is performed on the Collection to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- names - a Collection with one entry per name (or null)
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs
See Also: X509CertSelector.getPathToNames(),

  Sets the policy constraint.

  Sets the policy constraint. The X509Certificate must include at least one of the specified policies in its certificate policies extension. If certPolicySet is empty, then the X509Certificate must include at least some specified policy in its certificate policies extension. If certPolicySet is null, no policy check will be performed.

Note that the Set is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- certPolicySet - a Set of certificate policy OIDs in string format (or null). Each OID is represented by a set of nonnegative integers separated by periods.
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs on the OID such as the first component is not 0, 1 or 2 or the second component is greater than 39.
See Also: X509CertSelector.getPolicy(),

  Sets the privateKeyValid criterion.

  Sets the privateKeyValid criterion. The specified date must fall within the private key validity period for the X509Certificate. If null, no privateKeyValid check will be done.

Note that the Date supplied here is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- privateKeyValid - the Date to check (or null)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getPrivateKeyValid(),

  Sets the serialNumber criterion.

  Sets the serialNumber criterion. The specified serial number
must match the certificate serial number in the
X509Certificate. If null, any certificate
serial number will do.
Parameters:
- serial - the certificate serial number to match (or null)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getSerialNumber(),

  Sets the subject criterion.

  Sets the subject criterion. The specified distinguished name must match the subject distinguished name in the X509Certificate. If null, any subject distinguished name will do.

If subjectDN is not null, it should contain a single DER encoded distinguished name, as defined in X.501. For the ASN.1 notation for this structure, see setIssuer(byte [] issuerDN).
Parameters:
- subjectDN - a byte array containing the distinguished name in ASN.1 DER format (or null)
Throws:
- IOException - if an encoding error occurs (incorrect form for DN)

  Denigrated, use X509CertSelector.setSubject(X500Principal) or X509CertSelector.setSubject(byte[]) instead.

  Denigrated, use X509CertSelector.setSubject(X500Principal) or X509CertSelector.setSubject(byte[]) instead. This method should not be relied on as it can fail to match some certificates because of a loss of encoding information in the RFC 2253 String form of some distinguished names.

Sets the subject criterion. The specified distinguished name must match the subject distinguished name in the X509Certificate. If null, any subject distinguished name will do.

If subjectDN is not null, it should contain a distinguished name, in RFC 2253 format.
Parameters:
- subjectDN - a distinguished name in RFC 2253 format (or null)
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs (incorrect form for DN)

  Sets the subject criterion.

  Sets the subject criterion. The specified distinguished name
must match the subject distinguished name in the
X509Certificate. If null, any subject
distinguished name will do.
Parameters:
- subject - a distinguished name as X500Principal (or null)
Since: 1.5

  Sets the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.

  Sets the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. The X509Certificate must contain all or at least one of the specified subjectAlternativeNames, depending on the value of the matchAllNames flag (see setMatchAllSubjectAltNames).

This method allows the caller to specify, with a single method call, the complete set of subject alternative names for the subjectAlternativeNames criterion. The specified value replaces the previous value for the subjectAlternativeNames criterion.

The names parameter (if not null) is a Collection with one entry for each name to be included in the subject alternative name criterion. Each entry is a List whose first entry is an Integer (the name type, 0-8) and whose second entry is a String or a byte array (the name, in string or ASN.1 DER encoded form, respectively). There can be multiple names of the same type. If null is supplied as the value for this argument, no subjectAlternativeNames check will be performed.

Each subject alternative name in the Collection may be specified either as a String or as an ASN.1 encoded byte array. For more details about the formats used, see addSubjectAlternativeName(int type, String name) and addSubjectAlternativeName(int type, byte [] name).

Note: for distinguished names, specify the byte array form instead of the String form. See the note in X509CertSelector.addSubjectAlternativeName(int, String) for more information.

Note that the names parameter can contain duplicate names (same name and name type), but they may be removed from the Collection of names returned by the getSubjectAlternativeNames method.

Note that a deep copy is performed on the Collection to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- names - a Collection of names (or null)
Throws:
- IOException - if a parsing error occurs
See Also: X509CertSelector.getSubjectAlternativeNames(),

  Sets the subjectKeyIdentifier criterion.

  Sets the subjectKeyIdentifier criterion. The X509Certificate must contain a SubjectKeyIdentifier extension for which the contents of the extension matches the specified criterion value. If the criterion value is null, no subjectKeyIdentifier check will be done.

If subjectKeyID is not null, it should contain a single DER encoded value corresponding to the contents of the extension value (not including the object identifier, criticality setting, and encapsulating OCTET STRING) for a SubjectKeyIdentifier extension. The ASN.1 notation for this structure follows.

 SubjectKeyIdentifier ::= KeyIdentifier

 KeyIdentifier ::= OCTET STRING
 

Since the format of subject key identifiers is not mandated by any standard, subject key identifiers are not parsed by the X509CertSelector. Instead, the values are compared using a byte-by-byte comparison.

Note that the byte array supplied here is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- subjectKeyID - the subject key identifier (or null)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getSubjectKeyIdentifier(),

  Sets the subjectPublicKey criterion.

  Sets the subjectPublicKey criterion. The X509Certificate must contain the specified subject public key. If null, no subjectPublicKey check will be done.

Because this method allows the public key to be specified as a byte array, it may be used for unknown key types.

If key is not null, it should contain a single DER encoded SubjectPublicKeyInfo structure, as defined in X.509. The ASN.1 notation for this structure is as follows.

 SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
   algorithm            AlgorithmIdentifier,
   subjectPublicKey     BIT STRING  }

 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
 

Note that the byte array supplied here is cloned to protect against subsequent modifications.
Parameters:
- key - a byte array containing the subject public key in ASN.1 DER form (or null)
Throws:
- IOException - if an encoding error occurs (incorrect form for subject public key)
See Also: X509CertSelector.getSubjectPublicKey(),

See Also: X509CertSelector.getSubjectPublicKey(),

  Sets the subjectPublicKeyAlgID criterion.

  Sets the subjectPublicKeyAlgID criterion. The
X509Certificate must contain a subject public key
with the specified algorithm. If null, no
subjectPublicKeyAlgID check will be done.
Parameters:
- oid - The object identifier (OID) of the algorithm to check for (or null). An OID is represented by a set of nonnegative integers separated by periods.
Throws:
- IOException - if the OID is invalid, such as the first component being not 0, 1 or 2 or the second component being greater than 39.
