EncodedKeySpec
public EncodedKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey) Creates a newEncodedKeySpecwith the given encoded key.- Parameters:
encodedKey- the encoded key. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.- Throws:
NullPointerException- ifencodedKeyis null.
-
EncodedKeySpec
Creates a newEncodedKeySpecwith the given encoded key. This constructor is useful when subsequent callers of theEncodedKeySpecobject might not know the algorithm of the key.- Parameters:
encodedKey- the encoded key. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.algorithm- the algorithm name of the encoded key See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.- Throws:
NullPointerException- ifencodedKeyoralgorithmis null.IllegalArgumentException- ifalgorithmis the empty string""- Since:

Method Details
-
getAlgorithm
Returns the name of the algorithm of the encoded key.- Returns:
- the name of the algorithm, or null if not specified
- Since:
- 9
-
getEncoded
public byte[] getEncoded()Returns the encoded key.- Returns:
- the encoded key. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
-
getFormat
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.If the opaque representation of a key (see
Key) can be transformed (seeKeyFactory) into this key specification (or a subclass of it),getFormatcalled on the opaque key returns the same value as thegetFormatmethod of this key specification.- Returns:
- a string representation of the encoding format.
