Constructor Detail

RawKey

public RawKey(java.lang.String algorithm,
              byte[] data)

Constructs a key with the specified algorithm name and raw-encoded data array.

Parameters:

algorithm - the name of the algorithm

data - the key's raw-encoded data

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if algorithm == null || data == null

RawKey

public RawKey(java.lang.String algorithm,
              byte[] data,
              int offset,
              int length)

Constructs a secret key with the specified algorithm and raw-encoded data subarray.

Parameters:

algorithm - the name of the algorithm

data - the key's raw-encoded data

offset - the offset of the encoding in data

length - the length of the encoding

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if algorithm == null || data == null

Method Detail

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

getAlgorithm

public java.lang.String getAlgorithm()

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface java.security.Key

Returns:

the standard algorithm name this key was generated for.

getFormat
