public class BasicProviderKeyInfoCredentialResolver extends AbstractCriteriaFilteringCredentialResolver implements KeyInfoCredentialResolver
Implementation of KeyInfoCredentialResolver which resolves credentials based on a KeyInfo element using a configured list of KeyInfoProviders and optional post-processing hooks.

The majority of the processing of the KeyInfo and extraction of Credentials from the KeyInfo is handled by instances of KeyInfoProvider. An ordered list of KeyInfoProviders must be supplied to the resolver when it is constructed.

This resolver requires a KeyInfoCriterion to be supplied as the resolution criteria. It is permissible, however, for the criteria's KeyInfo data object to be null. This allows for more convenient processing logic, for example, in cases when a parent element allows an optional KeyInfo and when in fact a given instance does not contain one. Specialized subclasses of this resolver may still attempt to return credentials in an implementation or context-specific manner, as described below.

Processing of the supplied KeyInfo element proceeds as follows:

  1. A KeyInfoResolutionContext is instantiated. This resolution context is used to hold state shared amongst all the providers and processing hooks which run within the resolver.
  2. This resolution context is initialized and populated with the actual KeyInfo object being processed as well as the values of any KeyName child elements present.
  3. An attempt is then made to resolve a credential from any KeyValue child elements as described for resolveKeyValue(KeyInfoResolutionContext, CriteriaSet, List) If a credential is so resolved, its key will also be placed in the resolution context
  4. The remaining (non-KeyValue) children are then processed in document order. Each child element is processed by the registered providers in provider list order. The credential or credentials resolved by the first provider to successfully do so are added to the effective set of credentials returned by the resolver, and processing of that child element terminates. Processing continues with the next child element.
  5. At this point all KeyInfo children have been processed. If the effective set of credentials to return is empty, and if a key was resolved from a KeyValue element and is available in the resolution context, a basic credential is built with that key and is added to the effective set. Since the KeyInfo may have a plain KeyValue representation of the key represented by the KeyInfo, in addition to a more specific key type/container (and hence credential) representation, this technique avoids the unnecessary return of duplicate keys, returning only the more specific credential representation of the key.
  6. A post-processing hook is then called: postProcess(KeyInfoResolutionContext, CriteriaSet, List). The default implementation is a no-op. This is an extension point by which subclasses may implement custom post-processing of the effective credential set to be returned. One example use case is when the KeyInfo being processed represents the public aspects (e.g. public key, or a key name or other identifier) of an encryption key belonging to the resolving entity. The resolved public keys and other resolution context information may be used to further resolve the credential or credentials containing the associated decryption key (i.e. a private or symmetric key). For an example of such an implementation, see LocalKeyInfoCredentialResolver
  7. Finally, if no credentials have been otherwise resolved, a final post-processing hook is called: postProcessEmptyCredentials(KeyInfoResolutionContext, CriteriaSet, List). The default implementation is a no-op. This is an extension point by which subclasses may implement custom logic to resolve credentials in an implementation or context-specific manner, if no other mechanism has succeeded. Example usages might be to return a default set of credentials, or to use non-KeyInfo-derived criteria or contextual information to determine the credential or credentials to return.

      Hook for subclasses to do post-processing of the credential set after all KeyInfo children have been processed.

      Hook for processing the case where no credentials were returned by any resolution method by any provider, nor by the processing of the postProcess(KeyInfoResolutionContext, CriteriaSet, List) hook.
      Parameters:
      kiContext - KeyInfo resolution context
      criteriaSet - the credential criteria used to resolve credentials
      credentials - the list which will store the resolved credentials

      Use registered providers to process the non-KeyValue/DEREncodedKeyValue children of KeyInfo. Each child element is processed in document order. Each child element is processed by each provider in the ordered list of providers. The credential or credentials resolved by the first provider to successfully do so are added to the effective set resolved by the KeyInfo resolver.
      Parameters:
      kiContext - KeyInfo resolution context
      criteriaSet - the credential criteria used to resolve credentials
      credentials - the list which will store the resolved credentials
      Throws:
      ResolverException - thrown if there is a provider error processing the KeyInfo children
    • processKeyInfoChild

      @Nullable protected Collection<Credential> processKeyInfoChild(@Nonnull KeyInfoResolutionContext kiContext, @Nullable CriteriaSet criteriaSet, @Nonnull XMLObject keyInfoChild) throws ResolverException
      Process the given KeyInfo child with the registered providers. The child element is processed by each provider in the ordered list of providers. The credential or credentials resolved by the first provider to successfully do so are returned and processing of the child element is terminated.
      Parameters:
      kiContext - KeyInfo resolution context
      criteriaSet - the credential criteria used to resolve credentials
      keyInfoChild - the KeyInfo to evaluate
      Returns:
      the collection of resolved credentials, or null
      Throws:
      ResolverException - thrown if there is a provider error processing the KeyInfo child
    • initResolutionContext

      protected void initResolutionContext(@Nonnull KeyInfoResolutionContext kiContext, @Nonnull KeyInfo keyInfo, @Nullable CriteriaSet criteriaSet) throws ResolverException
      Initialize the resolution context that will be used by the providers. The supplied KeyInfo object is stored in the context, as well as the values of any KeyName children present. Finally if a credential is resolveble by any registered provider from a plain KeyValue child, the key from that credential is also stored in the context.
      Parameters:
      kiContext - KeyInfo resolution context
      keyInfo - the KeyInfo to evaluate
      criteriaSet - the credential criteria used to resolve credentials
      Throws:
      ResolverException - thrown if there is an error processing the KeyValue children
    • resolveKeyValue

      protected void resolveKeyValue(@Nonnull KeyInfoResolutionContext kiContext, @Nullable CriteriaSet criteriaSet, @Nonnull List<? extends XMLObject> keyValues) throws ResolverException
      Resolve the key from any KeyValue DEREncodedKeyValue element that may be present, and store the resulting key in the resolution context. Each element is processed in turn in document order. Each element will be processed by each provider in the ordered list of registered providers. The key from the first credential successfully resolved from a KeyValue will be stored in the resolution context. Note: This resolver implementation assumes that KeyInfo will not be abused via-a-vis the Signature specification, and that therefore all elements (if there is even more than one) will all resolve to the same key value. The KeyInfo might, for example have multiple KeyValue children, containing different representations of the same key. Therefore, only the first credential derived will be be utilized.
      Parameters:
      kiContext - KeyInfo resolution context
      criteriaSet - the credential criteria used to resolve credentials
      keyValues - the KeyValue or DEREncodedKeyValue children to evaluate
      Throws:
      ResolverException - thrown if there is an error resolving the key from the KeyValue

      Parameters:

      Parameters:
      cred - the Credential to evaluate
      Returns:
      the Key contained in the credential, or null if it does not contain a key.
