Method Detail

getAlgorithm

Algorithm getAlgorithm()

Gets the algorithm (alg) parameter.

Returns:

The algorithm parameter.

getType

JOSEObjectType getType()

Gets the type (typ) parameter.

Returns:

The type parameter, null if not specified.

getContentType

String getContentType()

Gets the content type (cty) parameter.

Returns:

The content type parameter, null if not specified.

getCriticalHeaders

Set<String> getCriticalHeaders()

Gets the critical headers (crit) parameter.

Returns:

The names of the critical header parameters, empty set or null if none.

getCustomParameter

Object getCustomParameter(String name)

Gets a custom (non-reserved) parameter.

Parameters:

name - The name of the custom parameter. Must not be null.

Returns:

The custom parameter, null if not specified.

getCustomParameters

Map<String,Object> getCustomParameters()

Gets the custom (non-reserved) parameters.

Returns:

The custom parameters, as a unmodifiable map, empty map if none.

getIncludedParameters

Set<String> getIncludedParameters()

Gets the names of all included parameters (reserved and custom) in the header instance.

Returns:

The included parameters.

toJSONObject

net.minidev.json.JSONObject toJSONObject()

Returns a JSON object representation of the header. All custom parameters are included if they serialise to a JSON entity and their names don't conflict with the reserved ones.

Returns:

The JSON object representation of the header.

toString

String toString()

Returns a JSON string representation of the header. All custom parameters will be included if they serialise to a JSON entity and their names don't conflict with the reserved ones.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

The JSON string representation of the header.

toBase64URL

Base64URL toBase64URL()

Returns a Base64URL representation of the header. If the header was parsed always returns the original Base64URL (required for JWS validation and authenticated JWE decryption).

Returns:

The original parsed Base64URL representation of the header, or a new Base64URL representation if the header was created from scratch.
