@NotMutable
@ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE)
public final class EllipticCurvePublicKey
extends DecodedPublicKey

This class provides a data structure for representing the information contained in an elliptic curve public key in an X.509 certificate. As per RFC 5480 section 2.2, and the Standards for Efficient Cryptography SEC 1 document.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
java.math.BigInteger	getXCoordinate()	Retrieves the value of the x coordinate.
java.math.BigInteger	getYCoordinate()	Retrieves the value of the y coordinate.
void	toString(java.lang.StringBuilder buffer)	Appends a string representation of this decoded public key to the provided buffer.
boolean	usesCompressedForm()	Indicates whether the public key uses the compressed form (which merely contains the x coordinate and an indication as to whether the y coordinate is even or odd) or the uncompressed form (which contains both the x and y coordinate values).
boolean	yCoordinateIsEven()	Indicates whether the y coordinate is even or odd.

Method Detail

usesCompressedForm

public boolean usesCompressedForm()

Indicates whether the public key uses the compressed form (which merely contains the x coordinate and an indication as to whether the y coordinate is even or odd) or the uncompressed form (which contains both the x and y coordinate values).

Returns:

true if the public key uses the compressed form, or false if it uses the uncompressed form.

getXCoordinate

public java.math.BigInteger getXCoordinate()

Retrieves the value of the x coordinate. This will always be available.

Returns:

The value of the x coordinate.

getYCoordinate

public java.math.BigInteger getYCoordinate()

Retrieves the value of the y coordinate. This will only be available if the key was encoded in the uncompressed form.

Returns:

The value of the y coordinate, or null if the key was encoded in the compressed form.

yCoordinateIsEven

public boolean yCoordinateIsEven()

Indicates whether the y coordinate is even or odd.

Returns:

true if the y coordinate is even, or false if the y coordinate is odd.

toString

public void toString(java.lang.StringBuilder buffer)

Appends a string representation of this decoded public key to the provided buffer.

Specified by:

toString in class DecodedPublicKey

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which the information should be appended.
