Class PGPObjectFactory

java.lang.Object
  org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPObjectFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

BcPGPObjectFactory, JcaPGPObjectFactory

public class PGPObjectFactory
extends java.lang.Object

General class for reading a PGP object stream.

Note: if this class finds a PGPPublicKey or a PGPSecretKey it will create a PGPPublicKeyRing, or a PGPSecretKeyRing for each key found. If all you are trying to do is read a key ring file use either PGPPublicKeyRingCollection or PGPSecretKeyRingCollection.

This factory supports reading the following types of objects:

• PacketTags.SIGNATURE - produces a PGPSignatureList
• PacketTags.SECRET_KEY - produces a PGPSecretKeyRing
• PacketTags.PUBLIC_KEY - produces a PGPPublicKeyRing
• PacketTags.PUBLIC_SUBKEY - produces a PGPPublicKey
• PacketTags.COMPRESSED_DATA - produces a PGPCompressedData
• PacketTags.LITERAL_DATA - produces a PGPLiteralData
• PacketTags.PUBLIC_KEY_ENC_SESSION - produces a PGPEncryptedDataList
• PacketTags.SYMMETRIC_KEY_ENC_SESSION - produces a PGPEncryptedDataList
• PacketTags.ONE_PASS_SIGNATURE - produces a PGPOnePassSignatureList
• PacketTags.MARKER - produces a PGPMarker
