generate

public X509Certificate generate(PrivateKey key)

                   SignatureException,
                   InvalidKeyException

generate an X509 certificate, based on the current issuer and subject using the default provider.

Note: this differs from the deprecated method in that the default provider is used - not "BC".

getSignatureAlgNames

public Iterator getSignatureAlgNames()

Return an iterator of the signature names supported by the generator.

Returns:

an iterator containing recognised names.

reset

public void reset()

reset the generator

setIssuerDN

public void setIssuerDN(X500Principal issuer)

Set the issuer distinguished name - the issuer is the entity whose private key is used to sign the certificate.

setNotAfter

public void setNotAfter(Date date)

setNotBefore

public void setNotBefore(Date date)

setPublicKey

public void setPublicKey(PublicKey key)

setSerialNumber

public void setSerialNumber(BigInteger serialNumber)

set the serial number for the certificate.

setSignatureAlgorithm

public void setSignatureAlgorithm(String signatureAlgorithm)

Set the signature algorithm. This can be either a name or an OID, names are treated as case insensitive.

Parameters:

signatureAlgorithm - string representation of the algorithm name.

setSubjectDN

public void setSubjectDN(X500Principal subject)

Set the subject distinguished name. The subject describes the entity associated with the public key.
