Summary

Constants
long	serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility since J2SE 1.4.

Inherited constants
From interface javax.crypto.SecretKey long serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility since J2SE 1.4.
From interface java.security.Key long serialVersionUID This constant was deprecated in API level 34. A serialVersionUID field in an interface is ineffectual. Do not use; no replacement.

Public methods
abstract int	getIterationCount() Returns the iteration count or 0 if not specified.
abstract char[]	getPassword() Returns the password.
abstract byte[]	getSalt() Returns the salt or null if not specified.

Inherited methods
From interface 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.
