Interface Constraint

All Known Implementing Classes:: ConstraintCollection

public interface Constraint

This interface specifies a constraint of some ASN.1 type. Constraints are called to check the validity of a type right after initialization and after decoding. For instance an OCTET STRING may be defined to be at most 8 octets long. This may be implemented by adding a constraint to an ASN1OctetString instance that verifies the length of the octets string.
