Class CertificateOfSigner

All Implemented Interfaces:
AttributesWrapper, DataElementWrapper, BytesDataElementWrapper, OtherByteWrapper

public class CertificateOfSigner extends AbstractDataElementWrapper implements OtherByteWrapper
Name: Certificate of Signer
Keyword: CertificateOfSigner
Tag: (0400,0115)
Value Representation: OB
Value Multiplicity: 1
  • Described in the contexts: as follows:
    Attribute Name: Certificate of Signer
    Type: 1
    Attribute Description:

    A certificate that holds the identity of the entity producing this Digital Signature, that entity's public key or key identifier, and the algorithm and associated parameters with which that public key is to be used. Algorithms allowed are specified in Digital Signature Security Profiles (see PS3.15 PS3.15).

    Note
    1. As technology advances, additional encryption algorithms may be allowed in future versions. Implementations should take this possibility into account.

    2. When symmetric encryption is used, the certificate merely identifies which key was used by which entity, but not the actual key itself. Some other means (e.g., a trusted third party) must be used to obtain the key.
