A representation of the XML KeyInfo element as defined in
the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing.
A KeyInfo contains a list of
XMLStructure s, each of
which contain information that enables the recipient(s) to obtain the key
needed to validate an XML signature. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:
<element name="KeyInfo" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/>
<complexType name="KeyInfoType" mixed="true">
<choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<element ref="ds:KeyName"/>
<element ref="ds:KeyValue"/>
<element ref="ds:RetrievalMethod"/>
<element ref="ds:X509Data"/>
<element ref="ds:PGPData"/>
<element ref="ds:SPKIData"/>
<element ref="ds:MgmtData"/>
<any processContents="lax" namespace="##other"/>
<!-- (1,1) elements from (0,unbounded) namespaces -->
</choice>
<attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
</complexType>
A KeyInfo instance may be created by invoking one of the
KeyInfoFactory.newKeyInfo newKeyInfo methods of the
KeyInfoFactory class, and passing it a list of one or more
XMLStructures and an optional id parameter;
for example:
KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
KeyInfo keyInfo = factory.newKeyInfo
(Collections.singletonList(factory.newKeyName("Alice"), "keyinfo-1"));
KeyInfo objects can also be marshalled to XML by invoking
the
KeyInfo.marshal marshal method.
