SecretKey

interface SecretKey : Destroyable, Key
PBEKey

The interface to a PBE key.

SecretKeySpec

This class specifies a secret key in a provider-independent fashion.

A secret (symmetric) key. The purpose of this interface is to group (and provide type safety for) all secret key interfaces.

Provider implementations of this interface must overwrite the equals and hashCode methods inherited from java.lang.Object, so that secret keys are compared based on their underlying key material and not based on reference. Implementations should override the default destroy and isDestroyed methods from the javax.security.auth.Destroyable interface to enable sensitive key information to be destroyed, cleared, or in the case where such information is immutable, unreferenced. Finally, since SecretKey is Serializable, implementations should also override java.io.ObjectOutputStream#writeObject(java.lang.Object) to prevent keys that have been destroyed from being serialized.

Keys that implement this interface return the string RAW as their encoding format (see getFormat), and return the raw key bytes as the result of a getEncoded method call. (The getFormat and getEncoded methods are inherited from the java.security.Key parent interface.)

Summary

Constants
static Long

The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility since J2SE 1.

Inherited functions
Unit destroy()

Destroy this Object.

Sensitive information associated with this Object is destroyed or cleared. Subsequent calls to certain methods on this Object will result in an IllegalStateException being thrown.

The default implementation throws DestroyFailedException.

Android note: Up to and including API 25 this method did not have a default implementation. Implementations of this interface must provide a concrete implementation of this method in order to work on older versions of Android.

Boolean isDestroyed()

Determine if this Object has been destroyed.

The default implementation returns false.

Android note: Up to and including API 25 this method did not have a default implementation. Implementations of this interface must provide a concrete implementation of this method in order to work on older versions of Android.

String! getAlgorithm()

Returns the standard algorithm name for this key. For example, "DSA" would indicate that this key is a DSA key. See the key related sections (KeyFactory, KeyGenerator, KeyPairGenerator, and SecretKeyFactory) in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard key algorithm names.

ByteArray! getEncoded()

Returns the key in its primary encoding format, or null if this key does not support encoding.

String! getFormat()

Returns the name of the primary encoding format of this key, or null if this key does not support encoding. The primary encoding format is named in terms of the appropriate ASN.1 data format, if an ASN.1 specification for this key exists. For example, the name of the ASN.1 data format for public keys is SubjectPublicKeyInfo, as defined by the X.509 standard; in this case, the returned format is "X.509". Similarly, the name of the ASN.1 data format for private keys is PrivateKeyInfo, as defined by the PKCS #8 standard; in this case, the returned format is "PKCS#8".
