PrivateKey

public interface PrivateKey
implements Key, Destroyable

java.security.PrivateKey

Known indirect subclasses

DHPrivateKey, DSAPrivateKey, ECPrivateKey, RSAMultiPrimePrivateCrtKey, RSAPrivateCrtKey, RSAPrivateKey

DHPrivateKey	The interface to a Diffie-Hellman private key.
DSAPrivateKey	The standard interface to a DSA private key.
ECPrivateKey	The interface to an elliptic curve (EC) private key.
RSAMultiPrimePrivateCrtKey	The interface to an RSA multi-prime private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 v2.1, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.
RSAPrivateCrtKey	The interface to an RSA private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 standard, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.
RSAPrivateKey	The interface to an RSA private key.

A private key. The purpose of this interface is to group (and provide type safety for) all private key interfaces.

Note: The specialized private key interfaces extend this interface. See, for example, the DSAPrivateKey interface in java.security.interfaces.

Implementations should override the default destroy and isDestroyed methods from the Destroyable interface to enable sensitive key information to be destroyed, cleared, or in the case where such information is immutable, unreferenced. Finally, since PrivateKey is Serializable, implementations should also override ObjectOutputStream.writeObject(java.lang.Object) to prevent keys that have been destroyed from being serialized.

          java.security.Key

`abstract String`	`getAlgorithm()` Returns the standard algorithm name for this key.
`abstract byte[]`	`getEncoded()` Returns the key in its primary encoding format, or null if this key does not support encoding.
`abstract String`	`getFormat()` Returns the name of the primary encoding format of this key, or null if this key does not support encoding.

From interface


        
          javax.security.auth.Destroyable

`default void`	`destroy()` Destroy this `Object`.
`default boolean`	`isDestroyed()` Determine if this `Object` has been destroyed.
