All Implemented Interfaces:

KeySpec

public class DSAPrivateHWKeySpec
extends Object
implements KeySpec

This class specifies a DSA Hardware key spec to be used with DSAKeyFactory. This is used to make a representation of the key for import or export, but as private hardware keys are only valid on the machine they are generated on, they can not be exported to another machine or imported from another machine. This is due to the fact that hardware private keys are labels to the actual stored private key on that machine.

Constructor Details

DSAPrivateHWKeySpec

public DSAPrivateHWKeySpec(byte[] keyLabel,
 DSAParameterSpec parms,
 byte type)

Creates a new instance of this class specifying the key label, the DSA parameters and the storage type.

Parameters:

keyLabel - the label associated with the private key. The label must conform to the character restrictions imposed by the platform you are executing on. Please note that it is recommended to use the KeyLabelKeySpec class to create a key specification using a KeyHWAttributeValues.PKDS type of key.

parms - the DSA parameters for this key.

type - is the hardware key storage type the only valid value is KeyHWAttributeValues.PKDS.

Method Details

getLabel

public byte[] getLabel()

Returns a clone of the key label.

Returns:

A clone of the key label.

getAttributes

public DSAKeyHWAttributes getAttributes()

Returns the hardware key attributes associated with the key .

Returns:

the hardware key attributes.

getDSAParamSpec

public DSAParameterSpec getDSAParamSpec()

Returns the DSA parameters associated with this key.

Returns:

the a DSAParameterSpec associate with key.
