SubjectPublicKeyInfo (Bouncy Castle Library 1.52 API Specification)

org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509

## Class SubjectPublicKeyInfo

- java.lang.Object
- - org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Object
  - - org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.SubjectPublicKeyInfo

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ASN1Encodable, Encodable

      public class SubjectPublicKeyInfo
      extends ASN1Object

  The object that contains the public key stored in a certficate.

  The getEncoded() method in the public keys in the JCE produces a DER encoded one of these.

- - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `SubjectPublicKeyInfo(AlgorithmIdentifier algId, ASN1Encodable publicKey)`
    `SubjectPublicKeyInfo(AlgorithmIdentifier algId, byte[] publicKey)`
    `SubjectPublicKeyInfo(ASN1Sequence seq)`

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `AlgorithmIdentifier` | `getAlgorithm()`
    `AlgorithmIdentifier` | `getAlgorithmId()` Deprecated. use getAlgorithm()
    `static SubjectPublicKeyInfo` | `getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj, boolean explicit)`
    `static SubjectPublicKeyInfo` | `getInstance(java.lang.Object obj)`
    `ASN1Primitive` | `getPublicKey()` Deprecated. use parsePublicKey
    `DERBitString` | `getPublicKeyData()` for when the public key is raw bits.
    `ASN1Primitive` | `parsePublicKey()` for when the public key is an encoded object - if the bitstring can't be decoded this routine throws an IOException.
    `ASN1Primitive` | `toASN1Primitive()` Produce an object suitable for an ASN1OutputStream.

    - #### parsePublicKey

          public ASN1Primitive parsePublicKey()
                                       throws java.io.IOException

      for when the public key is an encoded object - if the bitstring can't be decoded this routine throws an IOException.
      Returns:
        the public key as an ASN.1 primitive.
      Throws:
