• All Superinterfaces:
  XMLStructure

public interface X509IssuerSerial
extends XMLStructure
A representation of the XML X509IssuerSerial element as defined in the W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. An X509IssuerSerial object contains an X.509 issuer distinguished name (DN) and serial number pair. The XML schema definition is defined as:

An X509IssuerSerial instance may be created by invoking thenewX509IssuerSerial method of the KeyInfoFactory class, and passing it aString and BigInteger representing the X.500 DN and serial number. Here is an example of creating anX509IssuerSerial from the issuer DN and serial number of an existing X509Certificate:
KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
X509IssuerSerial issuer = factory.newX509IssuerSerial
(cert.getIssuerX500Principal().getName(), cert.getSerialNumber());

1.6
