Constructor Detail

DERUTCTime

public DERUTCTime(java.lang.String time)

The correct format for this is YYMMDDHHMMSSZ (it used to be that seconds were never encoded. When you're creating one of these objects from scratch, that's what you want to use, otherwise we'll try to deal with whatever gets read from the input stream... (this is why the input format is different from the getTime() method output).

Parameters:

time - the time string.

Method Detail

getTime

public java.lang.String getTime()

return the time - always in the form of YYMMDDhhmmssGMT(+hh:mm|-hh:mm).

Normally in a certificate we would expect "Z" rather than "GMT", however adding the "GMT" means we can just use:

 dateF = new SimpleDateFormat("yyMMddHHmmssz");
 

To read in the time and get a date which is compatible with our local time zone.

getAdjustedTime

public java.lang.String getAdjustedTime()

return the time as an adjusted date with a 4 digit year. This goes in the range of 1950 - 2049.
