Class ASN1InputStream

java.lang.Object
java.io.InputStream
java.io.FilterInputStream
org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1InputStream
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, BERTags

public class ASN1InputStream extends FilterInputStream implements BERTags
A general purpose ASN.1 decoder - note: this class differs from the others in that it returns null after it has read the last object in the stream. If an ASN.1 NULL is encountered a DER/BER Null object is returned.

    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(InputStream is)
    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(byte[] input)
      Create an ASN1InputStream based on the input byte array. The length of DER objects in the stream is automatically limited to the length of the input array.
      Parameters:
      input - array containing ASN.1 encoded data.
    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(byte[] input, boolean lazyEvaluate)
      Create an ASN1InputStream based on the input byte array. The length of DER objects in the stream is automatically limited to the length of the input array.
      Parameters:
      input - array containing ASN.1 encoded data.
      lazyEvaluate - true if parsing inside constructed objects can be delayed.
    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(InputStream input, int limit)
      Create an ASN1InputStream where no DER object will be longer than limit.
      Parameters:
      input - stream containing ASN.1 encoded data.
      limit - maximum size of a DER encoded object.
    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(InputStream input, boolean lazyEvaluate)
      Create an ASN1InputStream where no DER object will be longer than limit, and constructed objects such as sequences will be parsed lazily.
      Parameters:
      input - stream containing ASN.1 encoded data.
      lazyEvaluate - true if parsing inside constructed objects can be delayed.
    • ASN1InputStream

      public ASN1InputStream(InputStream input, int limit, boolean lazyEvaluate)
      Create an ASN1InputStream where no DER object will be longer than limit, and constructed objects such as sequences will be parsed lazily.
      Parameters:
      input - stream containing ASN.1 encoded data.
      limit - maximum size of a DER encoded object.
      lazyEvaluate - true if parsing inside constructed objects can be delayed.

    • readLength

      protected int readLength() throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException
    • readFully

      protected void readFully(byte[] bytes) throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException
    • buildObject

      protected ASN1Primitive buildObject(int tag, int tagNo, int length) throws IOException
      build an object given its tag and the number of bytes to construct it from.
      Parameters:
      tag - the full tag details.
      tagNo - the tagNo defined.
      length - the length of the object.
      Returns:
      the resulting primitive.
      Throws:
      IOException - on processing exception.
