Package org.bouncycastle.asn1

Class DERVisibleString

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ASN1Encodable, ASN1String, Encodable
    public class DERVisibleString
extends ASN1Primitive
implements ASN1String
    DER VisibleString object encoding ISO 646 (ASCII) character code points 32 to 126.

    Explicit character set escape sequences are not allowed.

    • Constructor Detail

      • DERVisibleString

        public DERVisibleString​(String string)
        Basic constructor

    • Method Detail

      • getInstance

        public static DERVisibleString getInstance​(Object obj)
        Return a Visible String from the passed in object.
        Parameters:
        obj - a DERVisibleString or an object that can be converted into one.
        Returns:
        a DERVisibleString instance, or null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be converted.

      • getInstance

        public static DERVisibleString getInstance​(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                           boolean explicit)
        Return a Visible 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 DERVisibleString instance, or null
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the tagged object cannot be converted.

      • toString

        public String toString()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object. Subclasses are encouraged to override this method and provide an implementation that takes into account the object's type and data. The default implementation is equivalent to the following expression: 
           getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())

        See Writing a useful toString method if you intend implementing your own toString method.

        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a printable representation of this object.

      • getOctets

        public byte[] getOctets()

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Description copied from class: Object
        Returns an integer hash code for this object. By contract, any two objects for which Object.equals(java.lang.Object) returns true must return the same hash code value. This means that subclasses of Object usually override both methods or neither method.

        Note that hash values must not change over time unless information used in equals comparisons also changes.

        See Writing a correct hashCode method if you intend implementing your own hashCode method.

        Specified by:
        hashCode in class ASN1Primitive
        Returns:
        this object's hash code.
