public class SecretKeySpec extends Object implements KeySpec, SecretKey
It can be used to construct a SecretKey
from a byte array,
without having to go through a (provider-based)
SecretKeyFactory
.
This class is only useful for raw secret keys that can be represented as a byte array and have no key parameters associated with them, e.g., DES or Triple DES keys.

SecretKeySpec
Constructs a secret key from the given byte array.This constructor does not check if the given bytes indeed specify a secret key of the specified algorithm. For example, if the algorithm is DES, this constructor does not check if
key
is 8 bytes long, and also does not check for weak or semi-weak keys. In order for those checks to be performed, an algorithm-specific key specification class (in this case:DESKeySpec
) should be used.- Parameters:
key
- the key material of the secret key. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.algorithm
- the name of the secret-key algorithm to be associated with the given key material. See the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names document for information about standard algorithm names.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifalgorithm
is null orkey
is null or empty.

SecretKeySpec
Constructs a secret key from the given byte array, using the firstlen
bytes ofkey
, starting atoffset
inclusive.The bytes that constitute the secret key are those between
key[offset]
andkey[offset+len-1]
inclusive.This constructor does not check if the given bytes indeed specify a secret key of the specified algorithm. For example, if the algorithm is DES, this constructor does not check if
key
is 8 bytes long, and also does not check for weak or semi-weak keys. In order for those checks to be performed, an algorithm-specific key specification class (in this case:DESKeySpec
) must be used.- Parameters:
key
- the key material of the secret key. The firstlen
bytes of the array beginning atoffset
inclusive are copied to protect against subsequent modification.offset
- the offset inkey
where the key material starts.len
- the length of the key material.algorithm
- the name of the secret-key algorithm to be associated with the given key material. See the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names document for information about standard algorithm names.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- ifalgorithm
is null orkey
is null, empty, or too short, i.e.key.length-offset<len
.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
- is thrown ifoffset
orlen
index bytes outside thekey

Method Details
-
getAlgorithm
Returns the name of the algorithm associated with this secret key.- Specified by:
getAlgorithm
in interfaceKey
- Returns:
- the secret key algorithm.
-
getFormat
Returns the name of the encoding format for this secret key. -
getEncoded
public byte[] getEncoded()Returns the key material of this secret key.- Specified by:
getEncoded
in interfaceKey
- Returns:
- the key material. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
-
hashCode
public int hashCode()Calculates a hash code value for the object. Objects that are equal will also have the same hashcode.- Overrides:
hashCode
in classObject
- Returns:
- a hash code value for this object.
- See Also:
Object.equals(java.lang.Object)
,System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
-
equals
Tests for equality between the specified object and this object. Two SecretKeySpec objects are considered equal if they are both SecretKey instances which have the same case-insensitive algorithm name and key encoding.- Overrides:
equals
in classObject
- Parameters:
obj
- the object to test for equality with this object.- Returns:
- true if the objects are considered equal, false if
obj
is null or otherwise. - See Also:
Object.hashCode()
