Package com.nimbusds.jose

Class PlainHeader

java.lang.Object

com.nimbusds.jose.Header

com.nimbusds.jose.PlainHeader

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

@Immutable
public final class PlainHeader
extends Header

Unsecured (alg=none) JOSE header. This class is immutable.

Supports all registered header parameters of the unsecured JOSE object specification:

• alg (set to "none").
• typ
• cty
• crit

The header may also carry custom parameters; these will be serialised and parsed along the registered ones.

Example:

 {
   "alg" : "none"
 }

Constructor Detail

PlainHeader

public PlainHeader()

Creates a new minimal unsecured (plain) header with algorithm none.

PlainHeader

public PlainHeader(JOSEObjectType typ,
                   String cty,
                   Set<String> crit,
                   Map<String,Object> customParams,
                   Base64URL parsedBase64URL)

Creates a new unsecured (plain) header with algorithm none.

Parameters:

typ - The type (typ) parameter, null if not specified.

cty - The content type (cty) parameter, null if not specified.

crit - The names of the critical header (crit) parameters, empty set or null if none.

customParams - The custom parameters, empty map or null if none.

parsedBase64URL - The parsed Base64URL, null if the header is created from scratch.

PlainHeader

public PlainHeader(PlainHeader plainHeader)

Deep copy constructor.

Parameters:

plainHeader - The unsecured header to copy. Must not be null.

Method Detail

getRegisteredParameterNames

public static Set<String> getRegisteredParameterNames()

Gets the registered parameter names for unsecured headers.

Returns:

The registered parameter names, as an unmodifiable set.

getAlgorithm

public Algorithm getAlgorithm()

Gets the algorithm (alg) parameter.

Overrides:

getAlgorithm in class Header

Returns:

Algorithm.NONE.

parse

public static PlainHeader parse(Map<String,Object> jsonObject)
                         throws ParseException

Parses an unsecured header from the specified JSON object.

Parameters:

jsonObject - The JSON object to parse. Must not be null.

Returns:

The unsecured header.

Throws:

ParseException - If the specified JSON object doesn't represent a valid unsecured header.

parse

public static PlainHeader parse(Map<String,Object> jsonObject,
