Class Decrypter

java.lang.Object

org.opensaml.xml.encryption.Decrypter

public class Decrypter
extends Object

Supports decryption of XMLObjects which represent data encrypted according to the XML Encryption specification, version 20021210.

Details on the components specified as constructor options are as follows:

1. newResolver: This KeyInfoCredentialResolver instance is used to resolve keys (as Credentials) based on the KeyInfo of EncryptedData elements. While it could in theory be used to handle the complete process of resolving the data decryption key, including decrypting any necessary EncryptedKey's, it would typically be used in cases where encrypted key transport via an EncryptedKey is not being employed. This corresponds to scenarios where decryption is instead based on resolving the (presumably shared secret) symmetric data decryption key directly, based on either context or information present in the EncryptedData's KeyInfo. In cases where the data decryption key is to be resolved by decrypting an EncryptedKey, this resolver would typically not be used and may be null.
2. newKEKResolver: This KeyInfoCredentialResolver instance is used to resolve keys (as Credentials) used to decrypt EncryptedKey elements, based on the KeyInfo information contained within the EncryptedKey element (also known as a Key Encryption Key or KEK). For asymmetric key transport of encrypted keys, this would entail resolving the private key which corresponds to the public key which was used to encrypt the EncryptedKey.
3. newEncKeyResolver: This EncryptedKeyResolver instance is responsible for resolving the EncryptedKey element(s) which hold(s) the encrypted data decryption key which would be used to decrypt an EncryptedData element.

XML Encryption can encrypt either a single Element or the contents of an Element. The caller of this class must select the decryption method which is most appropriate for their specific use case.

Note that the type of plaintext data contained by an EncryptedData can be checked prior to decryption by examining that element's type attribute (EncryptedType.getType()). This (optional) attribute may contain one of the following two constant values to aid in the decryption process: EncryptionConstants.TYPE_ELEMENT or EncryptionConstants.TYPE_CONTENT.

By nature the fundamental output of XML decryption is a DOM DocumentFragment with 1 or more immediate top-level DOM Node children. This case is reflected in the method decryptDataToDOM(EncryptedData). It is up to the caller to properly process the DOM Nodes which are the children of this document fragment. The DocumentFragment and its Node children will be owned by the DOM Document which owned the original EncryptedData before decryption. Note, however, that the Node children will not be a part of the tree of Nodes rooted at that Document's document element.

A typical use case will be that the content which was encrypted contained solely Element nodes. For this use case a convenience method is provided as decryptDataToList(EncryptedData), which returns a list of XMLObject's which are the result of unmarshalling each of the child Elements of the decrypted DocumentFragment.

Another typical use case is that the content which was encrypted was a single Element. For this use case a convenience method is provided as decryptData(EncryptedData), which returns a single XMLObject which was the result of unmarshalling this decrypted Element.

In both of these cases the underlying DOM Element which is represented by each of the returned XMLObjects will be owned by the DOM Document which also owns the original EncrytpedData Element. However, note that these cached DOM Elements are not part of the tree of Nodes rooted at that Document's document element. If these returned XMLObjects are then inserted as the children of other XMLObjects, it is up to the caller to ensure that the XMLObject tree is then remarshalled if the relationship of the cached DOM nodes is important (e.g. resolution of ID-typed attributes via Document.getElementById(String)).

For some use cases where the returned XMLObjects will not necessarily be stored back as children of another parent XMLObject, it may still necessary for the DOM Elements of the resultant XMLObjects to exist within the tree of Nodes rooted at a DOM Document's document element (e.g. signature verification on the standalone decrypted XMLObject). For these cases these method variants may be used: decryptDataToList(EncryptedData, boolean) and decryptData(EncryptedData, boolean). The rootInNewDocument parameter is explained below. A default value for this parameter, for the overloaded convenience methods which do not take this parameter explicitly, may be set via setRootInNewDocument(boolean). This default value is initialized to false.

If the boolean option rootInNewDocument is true at the time of decryption, then for each top-level child Element of the decrypted DocumentFragment, the following will occur:

1. A new DOM Document will be created.
2. The Element will be adopted into that Document.
3. The Element will be made the root element of the Document.
4. The Element will be unmarshalled into an XMLObject as in the single argument variant.

Note that new Document creation, node adoption and rooting the new document element are potentially very expensive. This should only be done where the caller's use case really requires it.
