valuetype StatementThe Statement base type contains the information common to all statements. A statement has an "external" encoding, such as an X509 Certificate. Some statements may not have an encoding, but its extension may carry the pertinent marshable information, such as a PrincipalIdentityStatement for anonymous, which is generated by the security service.
private EncodingType encoding_type;This field indicates the type of encoding. The encoding may be contrived, at the encoding may not exist, however, the extension of the statement type may contain data that can be marshaled across the wire. See the Principal Identity Statement.
private Encoding the_encoding;The bytes of the encoding, if it exists.
public StatementLayer the_layer;This field contains an identifier of the service layer that generated the statement. The layer that generated or delivered the statement, i.e. Transport, CSIv2 Authentication, CSIv2 Authorization, or CSIv2 Identity Assertion.
public StatementType the_type;The type of statement, which indicates its extension such as an Identity Statement or an Endorsement Statement.
Encoding get_encoding(in EncodingType encoding_type)
raises(BadEncodingType);
Returns an encoding of this statement. Some implementations
may be able to convert. Using and encoding_type of
ET_Unknown, will always yield the default encoding,
if it exists. If the encoding does not exist,
a successful return containing an empty
sequence will result.
EncodingType get_encoding_type();Returns the encoding type
factory create(in EncodingType encoding_type,
in Encoding the_encoding);
