class:Signer [NONE]
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Principal 
    @Deprecated(since="1.2",

public abstract class Signer
extends Identity
    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    This class is deprecated and subject to removal in a future version of Java SE. It has been replaced by java.security.KeyStore, the java.security.cert package, and java.security.Principal.
    This class is used to represent an Identity that can also digitally sign data.

    The management of a signer's private keys is an important and sensitive issue that should be handled by subclasses as appropriate to their intended use.

    1.1

    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Returns this signer's private key.

    First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "getSignerPrivateKey" as its argument to see if it's ok to return the private key.

    Returns:
    this signer's private key, or null if the private key has not yet been set.
    Throws:
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSecurityAccess method doesn't allow returning the private key.

    SecurityManager.checkSecurityAccess(java.lang.String)

method:setKeyPair(java.security.KeyPair) [NONE]

  • setKeyPair

    public final void setKeyPair​(KeyPair pair)
                      throws InvalidParameterException,

    Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
    Sets the key pair (public key and private key) for this signer.

    First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "setSignerKeyPair" as its argument to see if it's ok to set the key pair.

    Parameters:
    pair - an initialized key pair.
    Throws:
    InvalidParameterException - if the key pair is not properly initialized.
    KeyException - if the key pair cannot be set for any other reason.
    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSecurityAccess method doesn't allow setting the key pair.
