KeyInfo
is an optional element
that enables the recipient(s) to obtain the key needed to validate an
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignature XMLSignature}. KeyInfo
may contain keys, names, certificates and other public key management
information, such as in-band key distribution or key agreement data. This
package contains classes representing types defined in the W3C specification
for XML Signatures, such as
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.KeyName KeyName},
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.KeyValue KeyValue},
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.RetrievalMethod RetrievalMethod},
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.X509Data X509Data},
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.X509IssuerSerial X509IssuerSerial}, and
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.PGPData PGPData}.
{@link javax.xml.crypto.dsig.keyinfo.KeyInfoFactory KeyInfoFactory}
is an abstract factory that creates KeyInfo
objects from scratch.
