The sun.security pacakge in the JDK contains an implementation of the PKCS7, but
supports only SignedData type. Is there any plan to add EnvelopedData and
EncryptedData types support ?
I would like to extend the PKCS7 class to add this functionality myself. But it is not
straight-forward to extend this class. All the parsing of the signed data is implemented
as private to the class. To be able to provide a new class which can parse signed/
enveloped/encrypted data I will need to duplicate code from the PKCS7 class.
Why was this class designed like this ??
Thanks,
