Method Details

getTag

public Tag getTag()

Description copied from interface: ASN1Value

Returns the base tag for this type, not counting any tags that may be imposed on it by its context.

Specified by:

getTag in interface ASN1Value

Returns:

Base tag.

getType

public OBJECT_IDENTIFIER getType()

getValues

public SET getValues()

If this AVA was constructed, returns the SET of ASN1Values passed to the constructor. If this Attribute was decoded with an Attribute.Template, returns a SET of ANYs.

IOException - If an error occurred.

encode

public void encode(Tag implicit,
 OutputStream ostream)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: ASN1Value

Write this value's DER encoding to an output stream using an implicit tag.

Specified by:

encode in interface ASN1Value

Parameters:

implicit - Implicit tag.

ostream - Output stream.
