Generate X509Certificate from byte[]?

Question

Is there a possibility to generate an java.security.cert.X509Certificate from an byte[]?

Answer 1

InputStream stream = null;
byte[] bencoded = javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(x509CertificateStr);

try {
    CertificateFactory certFactory = CertificateFactory.getInstance("X.509");
    cert = (X509Certificate) certFactory.generateCertificate(stream);

} catch (java.security.cert.CertificateException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}
