Package java.security.interfaces

Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

See: Description

Interface Description
DSAKey

The interface to a DSA public or private key.

DSAKeyPairGenerator

An interface to an object capable of generating DSA key pairs.

DSAParams

Interface to a DSA-specific set of key parameters, which defines a DSA key family.

DSAPrivateKey

The standard interface to a DSA private key.

DSAPublicKey

The interface to a DSA public key.

ECKey

The interface to an elliptic curve (EC) key.

ECPrivateKey

The interface to an elliptic curve (EC) private key.

ECPublicKey

The interface to an elliptic curve (EC) public key.

RSAKey

The interface to a public or private key in PKCS#1 v2.2 standard, such as those for RSA, or RSASSA-PSS algorithms.

RSAMultiPrimePrivateCrtKey

The interface to an RSA multi-prime private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 v2.2 standard, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.

RSAPrivateCrtKey

The interface to an RSA private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 v2.2 standard, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.

RSAPrivateKey

The interface to an RSA private key.

RSAPublicKey

The interface to an RSA public key.

Package java.security.interfaces Description

Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

Note that these interfaces are intended only for key implementations whose key material is accessible and available. These interfaces are not intended for key implementations whose key material resides in inaccessible, protected storage (such as in a hardware device).

For more developer information on how to use these interfaces, including information on how to design Key classes for hardware devices, please refer to these cryptographic provider developer guides:
