Class SubjectKeyIdentifier

java.lang.Object

org.mozilla.jss.pkix.cert.Extension

org.mozilla.jss.pkix.cert.SubjectKeyIdentifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

ASN1Value

public class SubjectKeyIdentifier
extends Extension

Represent the Subject Key Identifier Extension. This extension, if present, provides a means of identifying the particular public key used in an application. This extension by default is marked non-critical.

Extensions are additional attributes which can be inserted in a X509 v3 certificate. For example a "Driving License Certificate" could have the driving license number as a extension.

Extensions are represented as a sequence of the extension identifier (Object Identifier), a boolean flag stating whether the extension is to be treated as being critical and the extension value itself (this is again a DER encoding of the extension value).
