Class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    KeySpec


    public class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
    extends 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
     
    Since:
    1.2

    • Constructor Detail

      • PKCS8EncodedKeySpec

        public PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey)
        Creates a new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key.
        Parameters:
        encodedKey - 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.
    • Method Detail

      • getEncoded

        public byte[] getEncoded()
        Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the PKCS #8 standard.
        Overrides:
        getEncoded in class EncodedKeySpec
        Returns:
        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.
        Specified by:
        getFormat in class EncodedKeySpec
        Returns:
        the string "PKCS#8".
