pack-priv Class ProvDSAPrivateKey

Overrides default javax.security.auth.Destroyable.destroy.

Doc from javax.security.auth.Destroyable.destroy.

Destroy this Object.

Sensitive information associated with this Object is destroyed or cleared. Subsequent calls to certain methods on this Object will result in an IllegalStateException being thrown.

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

• It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
• It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
• It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
• It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
• For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Parameters

o:Object

the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:boolean

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Implements java.security.Key.getAlgorithm.

Doc from java.security.Key.getAlgorithm.

Returns the standard algorithm name for this key. For example, "DSA" would indicate that this key is a DSA key. See the key related sections (KeyFactory, KeyGenerator, KeyPairGenerator, and SecretKeyFactory) in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard key algorithm names.

Returns:String

the name of the algorithm associated with this key.

Implements org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.ProvKey.getBaseKey.

Implements java.security.Key.getEncoded.

Doc from java.security.Key.getEncoded.

Returns the key in its primary encoding format, or null if this key does not support encoding.

Returns:byte[]

the encoded key, or null if the key does not support encoding.

Implements java.security.Key.getFormat.

Doc from java.security.Key.getFormat.

Returns the name of the primary encoding format of this key, or null if this key does not support encoding. The primary encoding format is named in terms of the appropriate ASN.1 data format, if an ASN.1 specification for this key exists. For example, the name of the ASN.1 data format for public keys is SubjectPublicKeyInfo, as defined by the X.509 standard; in this case, the returned format is "X.509". Similarly, the name of the ASN.1 data format for private keys is PrivateKeyInfo, as defined by the PKCS #8 standard; in this case, the returned format is "PKCS#8".

Returns:String

the primary encoding format of the key.

Overrides default java.security.interfaces.DSAPrivateKey.getParams.

Doc from java.security.interfaces.DSAKey.getParams.

Returns the DSA-specific key parameters. These parameters are never secret.

Returns:DSAParams

the DSA-specific key parameters.

Implements java.security.interfaces.DSAPrivateKey.getX.

Doc from java.security.interfaces.DSAPrivateKey.getX.

Returns the value of the private key, x.

Returns:BigInteger

the value of the private key, x.

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

• Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
• If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
• It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.

Returns:int

a hash code value for this object

Overrides default javax.security.auth.Destroyable.isDestroyed.

Doc from javax.security.auth.Destroyable.isDestroyed.

Determine if this Object has been destroyed.

Returns:boolean

true if this Object has been destroyed, false otherwise.

Overrides java.lang.Object.toString.

Doc from java.lang.Object.toString.

Returns a string representation of the object.

Returns:String

a string representation of the object
