PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
open class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec : EncodedKeySpec
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 Summary
| Public constructors |
| Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key. |
| Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key and algorithm. |
| Public methods |
| open ByteArray! | Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard. |
| String! | Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification. |
Public constructors
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(encodedKey: ByteArray!)
Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key.
| Parameters |
encodedKey | ByteArray!: 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. |
| Exceptions |
java.lang.NullPointerException | if encodedKey is null. |
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(
encodedKey: ByteArray!,
algorithm: String!)
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 | ByteArray!: 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. |
| Exceptions |
java.lang.NullPointerException | if encodedKey or algorithm is null. |
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException | if algorithm is the empty string "" |
Public methods
getEncoded
open fun getEncoded(): ByteArray!
Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard.
| Return |
ByteArray! | the PKCS #8 encoding of the key. Returns a new array each time this method is called. |
fun getFormat(): String!
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.
| Return |
String! | the string "PKCS#8". |
