Method Detail

encrypt

public EncryptedID encrypt(java.security.Key recipientPublicKey,
                           java.lang.String dataEncAlgorithm,
                           int dataEncStrength,
                           java.lang.String recipientEntityID)
                    throws SAML2Exception

Returns an EncryptedID object.

Parameters:

recipientPublicKey - Public key used to encrypt the data encryption (secret) key, it is the public key of the recipient of the XML document to be encrypted.

dataEncAlgorithm - Data encryption algorithm.

dataEncStrength - Data encryption strength.

recipientEntityID - Unique identifier of the recipient, it is used as the index to the cached secret key so that the key can be reused for the same recipient; It can be null in which case the secret key will be generated every time and will not be cached and reused. Note that the generation of a secret key is a relatively expensive operation.

Returns:

EncryptedID object

Throws:

SAML2Exception - if error occurs during the encryption process.
