RE: [Cryptix-users] Revokation

[Milinovsky,Martin <Mar...@dr...>]

First thanx for the reply!

Well, I know the method checkValidity(), but I think this only checks if =
this key EXPIRES at a given Date, but not if it is revoked - correct me =
if i'm wrong! Any key may have no expiration-date and therefore the =
Method checkValidity() would say that this key is valid, but the key may =
nevertheless be revoked. How do I get this information?

Ciao
	Martin

Depending on the type of certificate you've got, you can use
java.security.cert.X509Certificate's=20
checkValidity() or checkValidity(Date) methods.  The second is =
documented
as:

   Checks that the given date is within the certificate's validity =
period.=20
   In other words, this determines whether the certificate would be =
valid=20
   at the given date/time.=20

Alternatively, cryptix.pki.ExtendedCertificate has similar methods with =
the
same names and descriptions.

How can I tell if a (public) key is revoked? I didn't find any methods =
to
get this information.
