public final class PublicKeyProtectionPolicy
extends ProtectionPolicy

The protection policy to use to protect a document with the public key security handler. PDF documents are encrypted so that they can be decrypted by one or more recipients. Each recipient have its own access permission. The following code sample shows how to protect a document using the public key security handler. In this code sample, doc is a PDDocument object.

 PublicKeyProtectionPolicy policy = new PublicKeyProtectionPolicy();
 PublicKeyRecipient recip = new PublicKeyRecipient();
 AccessPermission ap = new AccessPermission();
 ap.setCanModify(false);
 recip.setPermission(ap);

 // load the recipient's certificate
 InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(certificate_path);
 CertificateFactory cf = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
 X509Certificate certificate = (X509Certificate)cf.generateCertificate(inStream);
 inStream.close();

 recip.setX509(certificate); // set the recipient's certificate
 policy.addRecipient(recip);
 policy.setEncryptionKeyLength(128); // the document will be encrypted with 128 bits secret key
 doc.protect(policy);
 doc.save(out);
