This class is used to represent an Identity that can also digitally sign data.
The management of a signer's private keys is an important and sensitive issue that should be handled by subclasses as appropriate to their intended use.
Adds a certificate for this identity. If the identity has a public key, the public key in the certificate must be the same, and if the identity does not have a public key, the identity's public key is set to be that specified in the certificate.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "addIdentityCertificate" as its argument to see if it's ok to add a certificate.
Tests for equality between the specified object and this identity. This first tests to see if the entities actually refer to the same object, in which case it returns true. Next, it checks to see if the entities have the same name and the same scope. If they do, the method returns true. Otherwise, it calls identityEquals, which subclasses should override.
Tests for equality between the specified identity and this identity. This method should be overriden by subclasses to test for equality. The default behavior is to return true if the names and public keys are equal.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "removeIdentityCertificate" as its argument to see if it's ok to remove a certificate.
Specifies a general information string for this identity.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "setIdentityInfo" as its argument to see if it's ok to specify the information string.
Sets this identity's public key. The old key and all of this identity's certificates are removed by this operation.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "setIdentityPublicKey" as its argument to see if it's ok to set the public key.
Returns a string representation of this identity, with optionally more details than that provided by the toString method without any arguments.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "printIdentity" as its argument to see if it's ok to return the string.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "getSignerPrivateKey" as its argument to see if it's ok to return the private key.
Sets the key pair (public key and private key) for this signer.
First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "setSignerKeyPair" as its argument to see if it's ok to set the key pair.
