public Interface EdECPrivateKey

extends EdECKey, PrivateKey
Known Direct Implementers
sun.security.ec.ed.EdDSAPrivateKeyImpl
Imports
java.security.PrivateKey, java.security.spec.NamedParameterSpec, java.util.Optional
An interface for an elliptic curve private key as defined by RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). These keys are distinct from the keys represented by ECPrivateKey, and they are intended for use with algorithms based on RFC 8032 such as the EdDSA Signature algorithm.

An Edwards-Curve private key is a bit string. This interface only supports bit string lengths that are a multiple of 8, and the key is represented using a byte array.

Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
public Optional<byte[]>

Returns:

an Optional containing the private key byte array. If the key is not available, then an empty Optional.
getBytes()

Get a copy of the byte array representing the private key.

public default NamedParameterSpec

Returns:

the associated parameters, may be null
getParams()

Overrides default java.security.AsymmetricKey.getParams.

Implements java.security.interfaces.EdECKey.getParams.

Returns the parameters associated with this key.

Method Detail

getBytesback to summary
public Optional<byte[]> getBytes()

Get a copy of the byte array representing the private key. This method may return an empty Optional if the implementation is not willing to produce the private key value.

Returns:Optional<byte[]>

an Optional containing the private key byte array. If the key is not available, then an empty Optional.

getParamsback to summary
public default NamedParameterSpec getParams()

Overrides default java.security.AsymmetricKey.getParams.

Implements java.security.interfaces.EdECKey.getParams.

Doc from java.security.AsymmetricKey.getParams.

Returns the parameters associated with this key. The parameters are optional and may be either explicitly specified or implicitly created during key pair generation.

Implementation Specification

The default implementation returns null.

Returns:NamedParameterSpec

the associated parameters, may be null
