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:
Developers
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
privateKey PrivateKey,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }
Version ::= INTEGER
PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier
PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING
Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

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.
|
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. |
String getFormat ()
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
String |
the string "PKCS#8".
