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:
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:
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

public java.lang.String getFormat()
Specified by:
getFormat in interface java.security.Key
Returns:
the format used to encode this key. For this class it's always RAW.

getEncoded
