Chapter 24: Java Digital Certificates | Java Security Solutions

In This Chapter

This chapter explores the digital certificate, which is the format used to manage public keys. The sample code included demonstrates the different fields in all three versions of the digital certificates using JDK 1.4. Some of the classes that are used are not documented in the JavaDocs, and the sample code is meant for demonstration purposes only.

There are two parts to the digital certificate: the digital certificate message and the management of transferring the digital certificate . This chapter takes an in-depth look at the digital certificate message format. The "Internet x.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate and CRL Profile" contains information about the X.509 specification, and for further analysis, the digital certificate format can be found at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt .
