  • Method Details

    • engineGeneratePublic

      protected PublicKey engineGeneratePublic(KeySpec keySpec) throws InvalidKeySpecException
      Generates a public key object from the provided key specification (key material).
      Specified by:
      engineGeneratePublic in class KeyFactorySpi
      Parameters:
      keySpec - the specification (key material) of the public key. Two key specs are supported including MLKEMPublicKeySpec and KeyLabelKeySpec. In the case of using a KeyLabelKeySpec, the key spec must point to an already existing key within the PKDS.
      Returns:
      the public key representing the material contained within the specified key spec.
      Throws:
      InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a public key.
    • engineGeneratePrivate

      protected PrivateKey engineGeneratePrivate(KeySpec keySpec) throws InvalidKeySpecException
      Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).
      Specified by:
      engineGeneratePrivate in class KeyFactorySpi
      Parameters:
      keySpec - the specification (key material) of the private key. Two key specs are supported including MLKEMPrivateKeySpec and KeyLabelKeySpec. In the case of using a KeyLabelKeySpec the key spec must point to an already existing key within the PKDS.
      Returns:
      the private key representing the material contained within the specified key spec.
      Throws:
      InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a private key.
    • engineGetKeySpec

      protected <T extends KeySpec> T engineGetKeySpec(Key key, Class<T> keySpec) throws InvalidKeySpecException
      Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object in the requested format.
      Specified by:
      engineGetKeySpec in class KeyFactorySpi
      Parameters:
      key - the key object, must be either MLKEMPublicKey or MLKEMPrivateKey
      keySpec - the requested format in which the key material shall be returned
      Returns:
      the underlying key specification (key material) in the requested format.
      Throws:
      InvalidKeySpecException - if the requested key specification is inappropriate for the given key, or the given key cannot be processed (e.g., the given key has an unrecognized algorithm or format).
    • engineTranslateKey

      protected Key engineTranslateKey(Key key) throws InvalidKeyException
      Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
      Specified by:
      engineTranslateKey in class KeyFactorySpi
      Parameters:
      key - the key whose provider is unknown or untrusted. Key types acceptable are PublicKey and PrivateKey
      Returns:
      the translated key.
      Throws:
      InvalidKeyException - if the given key cannot be processed by this key factory.
