Package Summary  Overview Summary

class:SecretKeyFactory [NONE]

 

  • public class SecretKeyFactory
extends Object
    This class represents a factory for secret keys.

    Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque cryptographic keys of type Key) into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa. Secret key factories operate only on secret (symmetric) keys.

    Key factories are bi-directional, i.e., they allow to build an opaque key object from a given key specification (key material), or to retrieve the underlying key material of a key object in a suitable format.

    Application developers should refer to their provider's documentation to find out which key specifications are supported by the generateSecret and getKeySpec methods. For example, the DES secret-key factory supplied by the "SunJCE" provider supports DESKeySpec as a transparent representation of DES keys, and that provider's secret-key factory for Triple DES keys supports DESedeKeySpec as a transparent representation of Triple DES keys.

    Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard SecretKeyFactory algorithms:

    • DES
    • DESede
    These algorithms are described in the SecretKeyFactory section of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other algorithms are supported.

constructor:SecretKeyFactory(javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactorySpi, java.security.Provider, java.lang.String) [NONE]

  • SecretKeyFactory

    protected SecretKeyFactory(SecretKeyFactorySpi keyFacSpi,
                           Provider provider,
                           String algorithm)
    Creates a SecretKeyFactory object.
    Parameters:
    keyFacSpi - the delegate
    provider - the provider
    algorithm - the secret-key algorithm

method:getInstance(java.lang.String) [NONE]

  • getInstance

    public static final SecretKeyFactory getInstance(String algorithm)
                                          throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
    Returns a SecretKeyFactory object that converts secret keys of the specified algorithm.

    This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new SecretKeyFactory object encapsulating the SecretKeyFactorySpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

    Implementation Note:
    The JDK Reference Implementation additionally uses the jdk.security.provider.preferredSecurity property to determine the preferred provider order for the specified algorithm. This may be different than the order of providers returned by Security.getProviders().
    Parameters:
    algorithm - the standard name of the requested secret-key algorithm. See the SecretKeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.
    Returns:
    the new SecretKeyFactory object
    Throws:
    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if no Provider supports a SecretKeyFactorySpi implementation for the specified algorithm
    NullPointerException - if algorithm is null
    See Also:
    Provider

method:getInstance(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) [NONE]

method:getInstance(java.lang.String, java.security.Provider) [NONE]

  • getInstance

    public static final SecretKeyFactory getInstance(String algorithm,
                                                 Provider provider)
                                          throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
    Returns a SecretKeyFactory object that converts secret keys of the specified algorithm.

    A new SecretKeyFactory object encapsulating the SecretKeyFactorySpi implementation from the specified Provider object is returned. Note that the specified Provider object does not have to be registered in the provider list.

    Parameters:
    algorithm - the standard name of the requested secret-key algorithm. See the SecretKeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.
    provider - the provider.
    Returns:
    the new SecretKeyFactory object
    Throws:
    IllegalArgumentException - if the provider is null
    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if a SecretKeyFactorySpi implementation for the specified algorithm is not available from the specified Provider object
    NullPointerException - if algorithm is null

    Provider

method:getProvider() [NONE]

  • getProvider

    public final Provider getProvider()
    Returns the provider of this SecretKeyFactory object.
    Returns:
    the provider of this SecretKeyFactory object

method:getAlgorithm() [NONE]

  • getAlgorithm

    public final String getAlgorithm()
    Returns the algorithm name of this SecretKeyFactory object.

    This is the same name that was specified in one of the getInstance calls that created this SecretKeyFactory object.

    Returns:
    the algorithm name of this SecretKeyFactory object.

method:generateSecret(java.security.spec.KeySpec) [NONE]

  • generateSecret

    public final SecretKey generateSecret(KeySpec keySpec)
                               throws InvalidKeySpecException
    Generates a SecretKey object from the provided key specification (key material).
    Parameters:
    keySpec - the specification (key material) of the secret key
    Returns:
    the secret key
    Throws:
    InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this secret-key factory to produce a secret key.

method:getKeySpec(javax.crypto.SecretKey, java.lang.Class) [NONE]

  • getKeySpec

    public final KeySpec getKeySpec(SecretKey key,
                                Class<?> keySpec)
                         throws InvalidKeySpecException
    Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object in the requested format.
    Parameters:
    key - the key
    keySpec - the requested format in which the key material shall be returned
    Returns:
    the underlying key specification (key material) in the requested format
    Throws:
    InvalidKeySpecException - if the requested key specification is inappropriate for the given key (e.g., the algorithms associated with key and keySpec do not match, or key references a key on a cryptographic hardware device whereas keySpec is the specification of a software-based key), or the given key cannot be dealt with (e.g., the given key has an algorithm or format not supported by this secret-key factory).

method:translateKey(javax.crypto.SecretKey) [NONE]

  • translateKey

    public final SecretKey translateKey(SecretKey key)
                             throws InvalidKeyException

    Parameters:
    key - the key whose provider is unknown or untrusted
    Returns:
    the translated key
    Throws:
    InvalidKeyException - if the given key cannot be processed by this secret-key factory.
