Known Direct Subclasses BadPaddingException, CRLException, CertPathBuilderException, CertPathValidatorException, CertStoreException, CertificateException, DigestException, ExemptionMechanismException, IllegalBlockSizeException, InvalidAlgorithmParameterException, InvalidKeySpecException, InvalidParameterSpecException, and 9 others. BadPaddingException This exception is thrown when a particular padding mechanism is expected for the input data but the data is not padded properly. CRLException CRL (Certificate Revocation List) Exception. CertPathBuilderException An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a CertPathBuilder. CertPathValidatorException An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when validating a certification path. CertStoreException An exception indicating one of a variety of problems retrieving certificates and CRLs from a CertStore. CertificateException This exception indicates one of a variety of certificate problems. DigestException This is the generic Message Digest exception. ExemptionMechanismException This is the generic ExemptionMechanism exception. IllegalBlockSizeException This exception is thrown when the length of data provided to a block cipher is incorrect, i. InvalidAlgorithmParameterException This is the exception for invalid or inappropriate algorithm parameters. InvalidKeySpecException This is the exception for invalid key specifications. InvalidParameterSpecException This is the exception for invalid parameter specifications. KeyException This is the basic key exception. KeyStoreException This is the generic KeyStore exception. LoginException This is the basic login exception. NoSuchAlgorithmException This exception is thrown when a particular cryptographic algorithm is requested but is not available in the environment. NoSuchPaddingException This exception is thrown when a particular padding mechanism is requested but is not available in the environment. NoSuchProviderException This exception is thrown when a particular security provider is requested but is not available in the environment. ShortBufferException This exception is thrown when an output buffer provided by the user is too short to hold the operation result. SignatureException This is the generic Signature exception. UnrecoverableEntryException This exception is thrown if an entry in the keystore cannot be recovered.

Known Indirect Subclasses AEADBadTagException, CertificateEncodingException, CertificateExpiredException, CertificateNotYetValidException, CertificateParsingException, CertificateRevokedException, InvalidKeyException, KeyExpiredException, KeyManagementException, KeyNotYetValidException, KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException, UnrecoverableKeyException, and 2 others. AEADBadTagException This exception is thrown when a Cipher operating in an AEAD mode (such as GCM/CCM) is unable to verify the supplied authentication tag. CertificateEncodingException Certificate Encoding Exception. CertificateExpiredException Certificate Expired Exception. CertificateNotYetValidException Certificate is not yet valid exception. CertificateParsingException Certificate Parsing Exception. CertificateRevokedException An exception that indicates an X. InvalidKeyException This is the exception for invalid Keys (invalid encoding, wrong length, uninitialized, etc). KeyExpiredException Indicates that a cryptographic operation failed because the employed key's validity end date is in the past. KeyManagementException This is the general key management exception for all operations dealing with key management. KeyNotYetValidException Indicates that a cryptographic operation failed because the employed key's validity start date is in the future. KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException Indicates that the key can no longer be used because it has been permanently invalidated. UnrecoverableKeyException This exception is thrown if a key in the keystore cannot be recovered. UserNotAuthenticatedException Indicates that a cryptographic operation could not be performed because the user has not been authenticated recently enough. UserPresenceUnavailableException Indicates the condition that a proof of user-presence was requested but this proof was not presented.

The GeneralSecurityException class is a generic security exception class that provides type safety for all the security-related exception classes that extend from it.

Summary

Public constructors
GeneralSecurityException() Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with no detail message.
GeneralSecurityException(msg: String!) Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message.
GeneralSecurityException(message: String!, cause: Throwable!) Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message and cause.
GeneralSecurityException(cause: Throwable!) Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

GeneralSecurityException(
    message: String!, 
    cause: Throwable!)

Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters
message	String!: the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the getMessage() method).
cause	Throwable!: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the getCause() method). (A null value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
