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


        
          javax.security.auth.Destroyable

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

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.

Public methods

getIterationCount

Added in API level 1

public abstract int getIterationCount ()

Returns the iteration count or 0 if not specified.

Returns
`int`	the iteration count.

getPassword

Added in API level 1

public abstract char[] getPassword ()

Returns the password.

Note: this method should return a copy of the password. It is the caller's responsibility to zero out the password information after it is no longer needed.

Returns
`char[]`	the password.

getSalt

Added in API level 1

public abstract byte[] getSalt ()

Returns the salt or null if not specified.

Note: this method should return a copy of the salt. It is the caller's responsibility to zero out the salt information after it is no longer needed.

Returns
`byte[]`	the salt.
