A representation of the XML KeyValue element as defined
in the
W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing. A
KeyValue object contains a single public key that may be
useful in validating the signature. The XML schema definition is defined as:
<element name="KeyValue" type="ds:KeyValueType"/>
<complexType name="KeyValueType" mixed="true">
<choice>
<element ref="ds:DSAKeyValue"/>
<element ref="ds:RSAKeyValue"/>
<any namespace="##other" processContents="lax"/>
</choice>
</complexType>
<element name="DSAKeyValue" type="ds:DSAKeyValueType"/>
<complexType name="DSAKeyValueType">
<sequence>
<sequence minOccurs="0">
<element name="P" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
<element name="Q" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
</sequence>
<element name="G" type="ds:CryptoBinary" minOccurs="0"/>
<element name="Y" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
<element name="J" type="ds:CryptoBinary" minOccurs="0"/>
<sequence minOccurs="0">
<element name="Seed" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
<element name="PgenCounter" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
</sequence>
</sequence>
</complexType>
<element name="RSAKeyValue" type="ds:RSAKeyValueType"/>
<complexType name="RSAKeyValueType">
<sequence>
<element name="Modulus" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
<element name="Exponent" type="ds:CryptoBinary"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
A KeyValue instance may be created by invoking the
KeyInfoFactory.newKeyValue newKeyValue method of the
KeyInfoFactory class, and passing it a
java.security.PublicKey representing the value of the public key. Here is
an example of creating a KeyValue from a
DSAPublicKey
of a
java.security.cert.Certificate stored in a
java.security.KeyStore :
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance(KeyStore.getDefaultType());
PublicKey dsaPublicKey = keyStore.getCertificate("myDSASigningCert").getPublicKey();
KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
KeyValue keyValue = factory.newKeyValue(dsaPublicKey);
This class returns the DSAKeyValue and
RSAKeyValue elements as objects of type
DSAPublicKey and
RSAPublicKey , respectively. Note that not
all of the fields in the schema are accessible as parameters of these
types.
