java.lang.Object
java.security.KeyPair
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, DEREncodablePREVIEW
public final class KeyPair extends Object implements Serializable, DEREncodablePREVIEW
This class is a simple holder for a key pair (a public key and a private key). It does not enforce any security, and, when initialized, should be treated like a PrivateKey.

  • Constructor Details

    • KeyPair

      public KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey, PrivateKey privateKey)
      Constructs a key pair from the given public key and private key.

      Note that this constructor only stores references to the public and private key components in the generated key pair. This is safe, because Key objects are immutable.

      Parameters:
      publicKey - the public key.
      privateKey - the private key.

  • Method Details

    • getPublic

      public PublicKey getPublic()
      Returns a reference to the public key component of this key pair.
      Returns:
      a reference to the public key.

    • getPrivate

      public PrivateKey getPrivate()
      Returns a reference to the private key component of this key pair.
      Returns:
      a reference to the private key.
