Generating X509v(1/3) certificates in java (bouncy castle)

Sebi · #1 (**permalink**) November 2nd, 2015, 04:45 PM

I am trying to use the updated class of X509V1CertificateGenerator, Class X509v1CertificateBuilder. The documentation for the first class can be found here and for the second one (the one I intend to use), here.

Why is there no org.bouncycastle.cert.* package as suggested in the documentation? I am using maven to retrieve the bouncy castle jars:

Code:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.bouncycastle</groupId>
    <artifactId>bcprov-jdk15on</artifactId>
    <version>1.53</version>
</dependency>

You need to use the bcpkix-jdk15on jar as well. It has the certificate generation classes in it.
