Hello Fabio,
--> Now the question is :
-->
--> Is there a way to get the same information by reading diretcly from a
--> certificate file (i.e. given a certificate file, open it and retrieve
--> information such as the Public key,etc...).
-->
Not in JDK 1.1.x releases but in the upcoming release of the
JDK (likely to be 1.2) there will be support for you to
read a certificate from a file and then access all its fields.
Regards,
Hemma
