Abstract class that provides for extension of the X509KeyManager interface.

Methods in this class should be overriden to provide actual implementations.

Summary

Protected constructors

X509ExtendedKeyManager()

Constructor used by subclasses only.

Public methods

String chooseEngineClientAlias(String[] keyType, Principal[] issuers, SSLEngine engine)

Choose an alias to authenticate the client side of an SSLEngine connection given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).

String chooseEngineServerAlias(String keyType, Principal[] issuers, SSLEngine engine)

Choose an alias to authenticate the server side of an SSLEngine connection given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).

Public methods

chooseEngineClientAlias

Added in API level 1
public String chooseEngineClientAlias (String[] keyType, 
                Principal[] issuers, 
                SSLEngine engine)

Choose an alias to authenticate the client side of an SSLEngine connection given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).

The default implementation returns null.

Parameters
keyType String: the key algorithm type name(s), ordered with the most-preferred key type first.

issuers Principal: the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.

engine SSLEngine: the SSLEngine to be used for this connection. This parameter can be null, which indicates that implementations of this interface are free to select an alias applicable to any engine.

Returns
String the alias name for the desired key, or null if there are no matches.

chooseEngineServerAlias

Added in API level 1
public String chooseEngineServerAlias (String keyType, 
                Principal[] issuers, 
                SSLEngine engine)

Choose an alias to authenticate the server side of an SSLEngine connection given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).

The default implementation returns null.

Parameters
keyType String: the key algorithm type name.

issuers Principal: the list of acceptable CA issuer subject names or null if it does not matter which issuers are used.

engine SSLEngine: the SSLEngine to be used for this connection. This parameter can be null, which indicates that implementations of this interface are free to select an alias applicable to any engine.

Returns
String the alias name for the desired key, or null if there are no matches.
