Class ASN1InputByteArray

java.lang.Object
  net.rim.device.api.crypto.asn1.ASN1InputByteArray

public final class ASN1InputByteArray
extends Object
extends Object

A parser which parses bytes according to the ASN.1 Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) format specification. Note that BER is also supported here.

Note: This is parses data in the same way that ASN1InputStream does. The difference is that this class acts on byte arrays, rather than input streams, and is less oject intensive. Hence, this class 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;

 // The input is assumed to be in the byte array buffer
 byte[] buffer = ...;
 
 // Create an ASN.1 input stream (which uses DER encoding)
 ASN1InputByteArray asn1Input = new ASN1InputByteArray( buffer );

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

 // Read an integer value from the input stream
 myNumber = asn1Input.readInteger();

 // Read the octet string
 myArray = asn1Input.readOctetString();

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