public class IQGQKeyFactory

extends KeyFactory

This class provides the translation between key specifications (IQGQPrivateKeySpec or IQGQPublicKeySpec), DER-encoded ASN.1 representations (X509EncodedKeySpec or PKCS8EncodedKeySpec), and keys (IQGQPrivateKey or IQGQPublicKey).

Method Detail

generatePrivate

public PrivateKey generatePrivate(KeySpec keySpec)
                           throws InvalidKeySpecException

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

Overrides:

generatePrivate in class KeyFactory

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the private key

Throws:

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

generatePublic

public PublicKey generatePublic(KeySpec keySpec)
                         throws InvalidKeySpecException

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

Overrides:

generatePublic in class KeyFactory

Parameters:

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

Returns:

the public key

Throws:

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

getKeySpec

public KeySpec getKeySpec(Key key,
                          java.lang.Class keySpec)
                   throws InvalidKeySpecException

Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object. keySpec identifies the specification class in which the key material should be returned. It could, for example, be IQGQPublicKeySpec.class, to indicate that the key material should be returned in an instance of the IQGQPublicKeySpec class.

Overrides:

getKeySpec in class KeyFactory

Parameters:

key - the key

keySpec - the specification class in which the key material should be returned

Returns:

the underlying key specification (key material) in an instance of the requested specification class

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the requested key specification is inappropriate for the given key, or the given key cannot be dealt with (e.g., the given key has an unrecognized format).

translateKey

public Key translateKey(Key key)
                 throws InvalidKeyException

Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory. Currently, only the following key types are supported: IQGQPublicKey, IQGQPrivateKey.

Overrides:

translateKey in class KeyFactory

Parameters:

key - the key whose provider is unknown or untrusted

Returns:

the translated key

Throws:

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