KeyRep

extends Object
implements Serializable

java.lang.Object
↳	java.security.KeyRep

Class Overview

KeyRep is a standardized representation for serialized Key objects.

Nested Classes
public class	KeyRep.Type	`Type` enumerates the supported key types.

Public Constructors
	KeyRep(KeyRep.Type type, String algorithm, String format, byte[] encoded) Constructs a new instance of `KeyRep` with the specified arguments.

Protected Methods
Object	readResolve() Resolves and returns the `Key` object.

Inherited Methods

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
void	finalize() Is called before the object's memory is being reclaimed by the VM.
final Class<? extends Object>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of Class which represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.

Constructs a new instance of KeyRep with the specified arguments. The arguments should be obtained from the Key object that has to be serialized.

type	the type of the key.
algorithm	the algorithm (obtained by getAlgorithm()).
format	the format of the key (obtained by getFormat()).
encoded	the encoded `byte[]` (obtained by getEncoded()).

NullPointerException	if `type, algorithm, format or encoded` is `null` .

Resolves and returns the Key object. Three KeyRep.Type|format combinations are supported:

Type.PRIVATE | "PKCS#8" : returns a PrivateKey instance, generated from a key factory (suitable for the algorithm) that is initialized with a PKCS8EncodedKeySpec using the encoded key bytes.
Type.SECRET | "RAW" : returns a SecretKeySpec instance, created with the encoded key bytes and the algorithm.
Type.PUBLIC | "X.509": returns a PublicKey instance, generated from a key factory (suitable for the algorithm) that is initialized with a X509EncodedKeySpec using the encoded key bytes.

ObjectStreamException	if the `Type`\|format combination is not recognized, or the resolution of any key parameter fails.
