    • toSecondsSinceEpoch

      public static long toSecondsSinceEpoch(Date date)
      Deprecated.
      Converts the specified date object to a Unix epoch time in seconds.
      Parameters:
      date - The date. Must not be null.
      Returns:
      The Unix epoch time, in seconds.

    • fromSecondsSinceEpoch

      public static Date fromSecondsSinceEpoch(long time)
      Deprecated.
      Converts the specified Unix epoch time in seconds to a date object.
      Parameters:
      time - The Unix epoch time, in seconds. Must not be negative.
      Returns:
      The date.

    • isAfter

      public static boolean isAfter(Date date, Date reference, long maxClockSkewSeconds)
      Deprecated.
      Check if the specified date is after the specified reference, given the maximum accepted negative clock skew.

      Formula: 

       return date + clock_skew > reference
      Example: Ensure a JWT expiration (exp) timestamp is after the current time, with a minute of acceptable clock skew. 
       boolean valid = DateUtils.isAfter(exp, new Date(), 60);
      Parameters:
      date - The date to check. Must not be null.
      reference - The reference date (e.g. the current time). Must not be null.
      maxClockSkewSeconds - The maximum acceptable negative clock skew of the date value to check, in seconds.
      Returns:
      true if the date is before the reference, plus the maximum accepted clock skew, else false.

    • isBefore

      public static boolean isBefore(Date date, Date reference, long maxClockSkewSeconds)
      Deprecated.
      Checks if the specified date is before the specified reference, given the maximum accepted positive clock skew.

      Formula: 

       return date - clock_skew < reference
      Example: Ensure a JWT issued-at (iat) timestamp is before the current time, with a minute of acceptable clock skew. 
       boolean valid = DateUtils.isBefore(iat, new Date(), 60);
      Parameters:
      date - The date to check. Must not be null.
      reference - The reference date (e.g. the current time). Must not be null.
      maxClockSkewSeconds - The maximum acceptable clock skew of the date value to check, in seconds.
      Returns:
      true if the date is before the reference, minus the maximum accepted clock skew, else false.
