CertificateFactory.GenerateCRLs(Stream) Method

[Android.Runtime.Register("generateCRLs", "(Ljava/io/InputStream;)Ljava/util/Collection;", "")]
public System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<Java.Security.Cert.CRL>? GenerateCRLs(System.IO.Stream? inStream);

[<Android.Runtime.Register("generateCRLs", "(Ljava/io/InputStream;)Ljava/util/Collection;", "")>]
member this.GenerateCRLs : System.IO.Stream -> System.Collections.Generic.ICollection<Java.Security.Cert.CRL>

a (possibly empty) collection view of java.security.cert.CRL objects initialized with the data from the input stream.

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Returns a (possibly empty) collection view of the CRLs read from the given input stream inStream.

In order to take advantage of the specialized CRL format supported by this certificate factory, each element in the returned collection view can be typecast to the corresponding CRL class. For example, if this certificate factory implements X.509 CRLs, the elements in the returned collection can be typecast to the X509CRL class.

In the case of a certificate factory for X.509 CRLs, inStream may contain a sequence of DER-encoded CRLs. In addition, inStream may contain a PKCS#7 CRL set. This is a PKCS#7 SignedData object, with the only significant field being crls. In particular, the signature and the contents are ignored. This format allows multiple CRLs to be downloaded at once. If no CRLs are present, an empty collection is returned.

Note that if the given input stream does not support java.io.InputStream#mark(int) mark and java.io.InputStream#reset() reset, this method will consume the entire input stream.
