Interface CipherData

public interface CipherData

CipherData provides encrypted data. It must either contain the encrypted octet sequence as base64 encoded text of the CipherValue element, or provide a reference to an external location containing the encrypted octet sequence via the CipherReference element.

The schema definition is as follows:

<element name='CipherData' type='xenc:CipherDataType'/> <complexType name='CipherDataType'> <choice> <element name='CipherValue' type='base64Binary'/> <element ref='xenc:CipherReference'/> </choice> </complexType>

Method Detail

getDataType

public int getDataType()

Returns the type of encrypted data contained in the CipherData.

Returns:

VALUE_TYPE if the encrypted data is contained as CipherValue or REFERENCE_TYPE if the encrypted data is contained as CipherReference.

getCipherValue

public CipherValue getCipherValue()

Returns the cipher value as a base64 encoded byte array.

Returns:

the CipherData's value.

setCipherValue

public void setCipherValue(CipherValue value)
                    throws XMLEncryptionException

Sets the CipherData's value.

Parameters:

value - the value of the CipherData.

Throws:

XMLEncryptionException

getCipherReference

public CipherReference getCipherReference()

Returns a reference to an external location containing the encrypted octet sequence (byte array).

Returns:

the reference to an external location containing the enctrypted octet sequence.

setCipherReference

public void setCipherReference(CipherReference reference)
                        throws XMLEncryptionException

Sets the CipherData's reference.

Parameters:

reference - an external location containing the enctrypted octet sequence.

Throws:

XMLEncryptionException
