package com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.encryption;
The EncryptedKey
element is used to transport encryption keys
from the originator to a known recipient(s). It may be used as a stand-alone
XML document, be placed within an application document, or appear inside an
EncryptedData
element as a child of a ds:KeyInfo
element. The key value is always encrypted to the recipient(s). When
EncryptedKey
is decrypted the resulting octets are made
available to the EncryptionMethod
algorithm without any
additional processing.
Its schema definition is as follows:
<element name='EncryptedKey' type='xenc:EncryptedKeyType'/>
<complexType name='EncryptedKeyType'>
<complexContent>
<extension base='xenc:EncryptedType'>
<sequence>
<element ref='xenc:ReferenceList' minOccurs='0'/>
<element name='CarriedKeyName' type='string' minOccurs='0'/>
</sequence>
<attribute name='Recipient' type='string' use='optional'/>
</extension>
</complexContent>

Returns pointers to data and keys encrypted using this key. The reference
list may contain multiple references to EncryptedKey
and
EncryptedData
elements. This is done using
KeyReference
and DataReference
elements
respectively.
Returns: an Iterator
over all the ReferenceList
s
contained in this EncryptedKey

void setReferenceList(ReferenceList list);
Returns a user readable name with the key value. This may then be used to
reference the key using the ds:KeyName
element within
ds:KeyInfo
. The same CarriedKeyName
label,
unlike an ID type, may occur multiple times within a single document. The
value of the key is to be the same in all EncryptedKey
elements identified with the same CarriedKeyName
label
within a single XML document.
Note that because whitespace is significant in the value of
the ds:KeyName
element, whitespace is also significant in
the value of the CarriedKeyName
element.
Returns: over all the carried names contained in
this EncryptedKey
.
