This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a private key,
encoded according to the ASN.1 type PrivateKeyInfo
.
The PrivateKeyInfo
syntax is defined in the PKCS#8 standard
as follows:
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE { version Version, privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier, privateKey PrivateKey, attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL } Version ::= INTEGER PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

Public constructors
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
public PKCS8EncodedKeySpec (byte[] encodedKey)
Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
with the given encoded key.
Parameters | |
---|---|
encodedKey |
byte : the key, which is assumed to be
encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard. The contents of
the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification. |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if encodedKey
is null. |
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
public PKCS8EncodedKeySpec (byte[] encodedKey, String algorithm)
Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
with the given encoded key and
algorithm. This constructor is useful when subsequent callers of
the PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
object might not know the
algorithm of the private key.
Parameters | |
---|---|
encodedKey |
byte : the key, which is assumed to be
encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard. The contents of
the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification. |
algorithm |
String : the algorithm name of the encoded private key
See the KeyFactory section in the
Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification
for information about standard algorithm names. |
Throws | |
---|---|
NullPointerException |
if encodedKey
or algorithm is null. |
IllegalArgumentException |
if algorithm is
the empty string "" |
Public methods
getEncoded
public byte[] getEncoded ()
Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard.
Returns | |
---|---|
byte[] |
the PKCS #8 encoding of the key. Returns a new array each time this method is called. |
getFormat
public final String getFormat ()
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.
Returns | |
---|---|
String |
the string "PKCS#8" . |
