SecretKeyFactory

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory

Class Overview

The public API for SecretKeyFactory implementations.

Secret key factories provide the following functionality:

  • convert SecretKey objects to and from KeySpec objects
  • translate SecretKey objects from one provider implementation to another
Which key specifications are supported by the generateSecret(KeySpec) and getKeySpec(SecretKey, Class) is provider dependent.

Summary

Protected Constructors

Added in API level 1

Creates a new SecretKeyFactory instance for the specified key algorithm.

Parameters
algorithm the name of the key algorithm.
Returns
  • a secret key factory for the specified key algorithm.
Throws
NoSuchAlgorithmException if no installed provider can provide the requested algorithm.
NullPointerException if the specified algorithm is null.

public final KeySpec getKeySpec (SecretKey key, Class keySpec)

Added in API level 1

Returns the key specification of the specified secret key.

Parameters
key the secret key to get the specification from.
keySpec the target key specification class.
Returns
  • an instance of the specified key specification class.
Throws
InvalidKeySpecException if the specified secret key cannot be transformed into the requested key specification.

public final Provider getProvider ()

Added in API level 1

Returns the provider for this SecretKeyFactory instance.

Returns
  • the provider for this SecretKeyFactory instance.

public final SecretKey translateKey (SecretKey key)

Added in API level 1

Translates the specified secret key into an instance of the corresponding key from the provider of this key factory.

Parameters
key the secret key to translate.
Returns
  • the corresponding translated key.
Throws
InvalidKeyException if the specified key cannot be translated using this key factory.
