Class ASN1InputStream

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--net.rim.device.api.crypto.asn1.ASN1InputStream

public class ASN1InputStream

extends Object

A parser which parses bytes according to the ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) and Basic Encoding Rules (BER) format specification.

Note: This is parses data in the same way that ASN1InputByteArray does. The difference is that ASN1InputByteArray class acts on byte arrays, rather than input streams, and is less object intensive. Hence, ASN1InputByteArray should be used instead of ASN1InputStream whenever possible. The only time you would want to use ASN1InputStream over ASN1InputByteArray is when you wish to be looking at multiple positions in the stream at once ( such as if you want to look at two sequences, within the same structure, at the same time.

Example Usage

The following example inputs a Test type sequence of DER-encoded bytes from a file, in the ASN.1 format:

Note that exception caching is omitted for clarity.

 Test   ::=   SEQUENCE {
      myNumber    INTEGER,
      myArray     OCTET_STRING 
 }
 

 // Declarations of variables which will hold the values from the Test fields
 int myNumber;
 byte[] myArray;

 // Our input stream is an object which inherits from java.io.InputStream
 InputStream inputStream = ...;
 
 // Create an ASN.1 input stream (which uses DER encoding)
 ASN1InputStream asn1Input = ASN1InputStream(inputStream);

 // Read the beginning of an ASN.1 sequence
 ASN1InputStream testSequence = asn1Input.readSequence();

 // Read an integer value from the input stream
 myNumber = testSequence.readInteger();

 // Read the octet string
 myArray = testSequence.readOctetStringAsByteArray();

 // The value of the ASN.1 type "Test" is now stored in myNumber and myArray
