[android-security-discuss] PKCS10CertificationRequest and X509Name/X500Principal

[mackler]

I'm very new to android and java both, so hopefully I'm missing
something easy.  I have some code that will compile and run on my
ubuntu box, but throws a null pointer exception in the android
emulator:

KeyPair myKeyPair =
KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA").generateKeyPair();
                X500Principal subject = new X500Principal("CN=Test V3
Certificate");
PKCS10CertificationRequest csr = new PKCS10CertificationRequest
                                ( "SHA1withRSA",
                                   new X500Principal(new X500Name()),
                                   myKeyPair.getPublic(),
                                   null,
                                   myKeyPair.getPrivate()
                        );

                byte[] outBytes = csr.getEncoded();
                return new String(outBytes);
