java.security.spec.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

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.
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" .
