Uses of Interface
java.security.Key

Packages that use Key

java.security	Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
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.

Uses of Key in java.security

Subinterfaces of Key in java.security

interface	PrivateKey A private key.
interface	PublicKey A public key.

Methods in java.security that return Key

Key	KeyStore.getKey(String alias, char[] password) Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it.
protected abstract Key	KeyFactorySpi.engineTranslateKey(Key key) Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
Key	KeyFactory.translateKey(Key key) Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
abstract Key	KeyStoreSpi.engineGetKey(String alias, char[] password) Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it.

Methods in java.security with parameters of type Key

void	KeyStore.setKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain) Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.
protected abstract KeySpec	KeyFactorySpi.engineGetKeySpec(Key key, Class keySpec) Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object.
protected abstract Key	KeyFactorySpi.engineTranslateKey(Key key) Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
KeySpec	KeyFactory.getKeySpec(Key key, Class keySpec) Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object.
Key	KeyFactory.translateKey(Key key) Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
abstract void	KeyStoreSpi.engineSetKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain) Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.

Uses of Key in java.security.interfaces

interface	DSAPublicKey The interface to a DSA public key.
interface	RSAPrivateCrtKey The interface to an RSA private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 standard, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.
interface	RSAPrivateKey The interface to an RSA private key.
interface	RSAPublicKey The interface to an RSA public key.
