Enum Class DirectoryStringType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DirectoryStringType>

zeroecho.pkix.DirectoryStringType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DirectoryStringType>, Constable

public enum DirectoryStringType
extends Enum<DirectoryStringType>

The ASN.1 string type used to encode a distinguished-name attribute value.

X.509 permits several string types for directory attribute values, and the exact choice affects the DER bytes of the name. Selecting it explicitly keeps a rebuilt name byte-for-byte identical to the intended encoding.
