Method Detail

engineGeneratePublic

protected java.security.PublicKey engineGeneratePublic(java.security.spec.KeySpec keySpec)
                                                throws java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException

Generates a public key object from the provided key specification (key material).

Specified by:

engineGeneratePublic in class java.security.KeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

keySpec - the specification (key material) of the public key

Returns:

the public key

Throws:

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a public key.

engineGeneratePrivate

protected java.security.PrivateKey engineGeneratePrivate(java.security.spec.KeySpec keySpec)
                                                  throws java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException

Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).

Specified by:

engineGeneratePrivate in class java.security.KeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

keySpec - the specification (key material) of the private key

Returns:

the private key

Throws:

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a private key.

engineGetKeySpec

protected <T extends java.security.spec.KeySpec> T engineGetKeySpec(java.security.Key key,
                                                                    java.lang.Class<T> keySpec)
                                                             throws java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException

Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object in the requested format.

Specified by:

engineGetKeySpec in class java.security.KeyFactorySpi

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:

java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException - if the requested key specification is inappropriate for the given key, or the given key cannot be processed (e.g., the given key has an unrecognized algorithm or format).

engineTranslateKey

protected java.security.Key engineTranslateKey(java.security.Key key)
                                        throws java.security.InvalidKeyException

Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.

Specified by:

engineTranslateKey in class java.security.KeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

key - the key whose provider is unknown or untrusted

Returns:

the translated key

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException - if the given key cannot be processed by this key factory.
