EncodedKeySpec
(byte[] encodedKey)
Creates a new EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key.
Parameters
| encodedKey
| the encoded key. The contents of the
array are copied to protect against subsequent modification. |
Public Methods
public
byte[]
getEncoded
()
Returns
- the encoded key. Returns a new array each time
this method is called.
public
abstract
String
getFormat
()
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this
key specification.
If the opaque representation of a key
(see Key) can be transformed
(see KeyFactory)
into this key specification (or a subclass of it),
getFormat called
on the opaque key returns the same value as the
getFormat method
of this key specification.
Returns
- a string representation of the encoding format.
