Constructor Detail

SSLeayPrivateKey

public SSLeayPrivateKey(java.lang.String fileName)
                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        java.security.InvalidKeyException

Reads a private key created by SSLeay from the specified file.

Parameters:

fileName - the name of the file containing the private key

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs during reading the key

java.security.InvalidKeyException - if the key can not be parsed

SSLeayPrivateKey

public SSLeayPrivateKey(java.io.InputStream is)
                 throws java.io.IOException,
                        java.security.InvalidKeyException

Reads a private key created by SSLeay from the specified file.

Parameters:

is - an input stream containing the private key

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an error occurs during reading the key

java.security.InvalidKeyException - if the key can not be parsed

Method Detail

isEncrypted

public boolean isEncrypted()

Returns true if this private key is encrypted.

Returns:

true if this private key is encrypted

getPrivateKey

public java.security.PrivateKey getPrivateKey()
                                       throws java.security.InvalidKeyException

Returns the included private key.

Returns:

the private key

decrypt

public void decrypt(java.lang.String password)
             throws java.security.InvalidKeyException

Decrypts this private key. Does nothing if the key is not encrypted.

Parameters:

password - the password to decrypt the private key

Throws:

java.security.InvalidKeyException

getAlgorithm

public java.lang.String getAlgorithm()

Returns the symmetric encryption algorithm used to protect this private key.

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface java.security.Key

Returns:

the encryption algorithm or null if the private key is not encrypted

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()

This method is not supported and therefore returns null.

Specified by:

getEncoded in interface java.security.Key

getFormat

public java.lang.String getFormat()

Returns the format used to encode the key or null if the key does not support encoding.

Specified by:

getFormat in interface java.security.Key

Returns:

the string "SSLeay"
