All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable

    public class PublicKeyEncryptionHandler

extends EncryptionHandler

The PublicKeyEncryptionHandler can be used to encrypt and decrypt documents using public/private key Encryption, so documents can only be opened by certain individuals. It requires Java 1.4 or later, as it uses the `javax.crypto` package. The resulting documents can be opened in Acrobat 5 or later with the appropriate private key.

We're going to assume you're familiar with public key cryptography if you're using this class, and instead jump straight in and give a couple of examples showing how to decrypt and encrypt a document. First, some important notes:

1. This handler only works with Java 1.4 or above
2. You must download and install the unrestricted policy files for the Sun JCE. You can download these from the same place you download Java - for Suns current 1.4.2 release, they are available at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html. If they're not installed, you'll see an exception like: `java.lang.SecurityException: Unsupported keysize or algorithm parameters`
3. You will need a JCE provider that implements the ciphers you need. Any JCE provider should work, including the default Sun JCE provider and the Bouncy Castle provider (available at http://www.bouncycastle.org).

Once these steps are done, to encrypt a document you need the X.509 certificate of the person you're sending it to. Typically you'd get this from a KeyStore, as in this example:

     KeyStore keystore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
     keystore.load(new FileInputStream("keystore.p12"), "password".toCharArray());
     X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)keystore.getCertificate("john");

     PublicKeyEncryptionHandler handler = new PublicKeyEncryptionHandler(5);
     handler.addRecipient(cert, StandardEncryptionHandler.PRINT_HIGHRES,
                                StandardEncryptionHandler.CHANGE_ALL,
                                StandardEncryptionHandler.EXTRACT_ALL);

     pdf.setEncryptionHandler(handler);

Other ways to get a certificate include using the `FormSignature.loadPKCS7KeyStore(java.io.InputStream)` method to load your X.509 certificates from a PKCS#7 object, or the `CertificateFactory` class to load the certificate from `.cer` files exported by Acrobat:

     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("certificate.cer");
     CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
     X509Certificate cert = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(fis);

To decrypt a document, you will need a KeyStore containing a private key that matches the public key used to encrypt the document. Typically this will be done like so:

     KeyStore keystore = KeyStore.getInstance("PKCS12");
     keystore.load(new FileInputStream("keystore.p12"), "storepassword".toCharArray());
     EncryptionHandler handler = new PublicKeyEncryptionHandler(keystore,
                                                                null,
                                                                "keypassword".toCharArray());

     PDF pdf = new PDF(new PDFReader(new File("encrypted.pdf"), handler));

### hasRight

    public boolean hasRight(String right)

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Returns true if the EncryptionHandler wil grant the specified right to the PDF library. The default implementation of this method returns true, but subclasses will override this method based on the rights applied to the document. This method should always return `super.hasRight()` if it doesn't recognise the value of "right"

  Overrides:
    `hasRight` in class `EncryptionHandler`
  Parameters:
    `right` - an interned() String defining the usage right the PDF library is querying.

### getFilterName

    public String getFilterName()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Return the name of the "Filter" field in the Encryption dictionary. This is used to determine whether an appropriate filter has been supplied by the decryption process. For example, the `StandardEncryptionHandler` class returns "Standard" from this method.

  Specified by:
    `getFilterName` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### getSubFilterName

    public String getSubFilterName()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Return the name of the "Subfilter" field in the Encryption dictionary. This is used to determine whether an appropriate filter has been supplied by the decryption process. As "Subfilter" is an optional field, this method may return `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getSubFilterName` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### getDescription

    public String getDescription()

  Return a textual description of the encryption used

  Since:
    2.8.2

### isRequired

    public boolean isRequired()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method should return `true` if the document needs to be encrypted. For example, the `StandardEncryptionHandler` returns `false` here if and only if no passwords are set and the document is set to allow full access.

  Specified by:
    `isRequired` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### isMetadataEncrypted

    public boolean isMetadataEncrypted()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method returns true if XMP MetaData should be stored encrypted, or false otherwise. The default implementation returns true, subclasses should override as necessary.

  Overrides:
    `isMetadataEncrypted` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### getEncryptedStreamLength

    public int getEncryptedStreamLength(int len)

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Return the length that a stream of the specified length would be after encryption. Generally this will be the same same as the input length (and that's what this method returns, unless overridden), but for some Encryption algorithms like AES, the size may be rounded up to the nearest block size.

  Overrides:
    `getEncryptedStreamLength` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### getEncryptionStream

    public OutputStream getEncryptionStream(OutputStream out,
                                            int num,
                                            int gen)

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Return a `FilterOutputStream` that will encrypt anything written to it. The encryption parameters are set in `EncryptionHandler.prepareToEncrypt()`, which is called once at the start of the render.

  Specified by:
    `getEncryptionStream` in class `EncryptionHandler`
  Parameters:
    `out` - the OuptutStream that should be written to
    `num` - the object number of the top-level object
    `gen` - the generation number of the top-level object

### getDecryptionStream

    public InputStream getDecryptionStream(InputStream in,
                                           int num,
                                           int gen)

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  Return a `FilterInputStream` that will decrypt anything read from it. The decryption parameters are set in `EncryptionHandler.prepareToDecrypt()`, which is called once at the start of the PDF read.

  Specified by:
    `getDecryptionStream` in class `EncryptionHandler`
  Parameters:
    `in` - the InputStream that should be read from
    `num` - the object number of the top-level object
    `gen` - the generation number of the top-level object

### prepareToDecrypt

    public void prepareToDecrypt()
                          throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method is called just before the PDF is read in. It is expected that this method will read various parameters from the `Encrypt` dictionary by way of the various `get...` methods, and use them and the value of `EncryptionHandler.getFileId()` to set its internal state so that it's ready to start decryption. It may throw an `IOException` if these parameters are invalid, in which case the document cannot be read.

  Specified by:
    `prepareToDecrypt` in class `EncryptionHandler`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### chooseRecipient

    protected boolean chooseRecipient(X500Principal[] issuers,
                                      BigInteger[] serials)

  This method is called by `prepareToDecrypt()` to give an implementation the chance to select an appropriate entry from the KeyStore if it hasn't already been done. The supplied arrays are equal length and indicate the Issuer and SerialNumber of all the recipients that can decrypt this document. By default this method does nothing.

  Parameters:
    `issuers` - an array listing all the X.509 Certificate Issuers
    `serials` - an array listing all the X.509 Certificate Serial Numbers.
  Returns:
    true if the decryption should continue, false otherwise
  Since:
    2.8.3

### prepareToEncrypt

    public void prepareToEncrypt()
                          throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method is called when the PDF is about to be written out. It is expected that this method will write various parameters which have been set by the user to the `Encrypt` dictionary (including the "Filter" field) by way of the various `put...` methods, and will use these and the value of `EncryptionHandler.getFileId()` to set its internal state so that it's ready to start encryption. It may throw an `IOException` if these parameters are in any way invalid, in which case the document cannot be written.

  Specified by:
    `prepareToEncrypt` in class `EncryptionHandler`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### finishedEncrypt

    public void finishedEncrypt()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method is called after the PDF has been written. It may be used to clean up any internal state that needs to be cleaned.

  Specified by:
    `finishedEncrypt` in class `EncryptionHandler`

### finishedDecrypt

    public void finishedDecrypt()

  Description copied from class: `EncryptionHandler`
  This method is called after the PDF has been read. It may be used to clean up any internal state that needs to be cleaned.

  Specified by:
    `finishedDecrypt` in class `EncryptionHandler`
