public Class BCSPHINCSPlusPrivateKey

Overrides java.lang.Object.equals.

Compare this SPHINCS-256 private key with another object.

Parameters

o:Object

the other object

Returns:boolean

the result of the comparison

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

name of the algorithm - "SPHINCS+"

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.

Implements org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces.SPHINCSPlusKey.getParameterSpec.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces.SPHINCSPlusKey.getParameterSpec.

Return the parameters for this key.

Returns:SPHINCSPlusParameterSpec

a SPHINCSPlusParameterSpec

Implements org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces.SPHINCSPlusPrivateKey.getPublicKey.

Doc from org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces.SPHINCSPlusPrivateKey.getPublicKey.

Return the public key corresponding to this private key.

Returns:SPHINCSPlusPublicKey

a SPHINCS+ Public Key

Overrides java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for the 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.
