Class EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo

java.lang.Object
  extended byjavax.crypto.EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo

public class EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo
extends Object

This class implements the EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo type as defined in PKCS #8.

Its ASN.1 definition is as follows:

 EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo ::=  SEQUENCE {
     encryptionAlgorithm   AlgorithmIdentifier,
     encryptedData   OCTET STRING }
 
 AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
     algorithm              OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
     parameters             ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL  }
 

Since:
1.4

PKCS8EncodedKeySpec

Constructor Summary
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(AlgorithmParameters algParams, byte[] encryptedData)
          Constructs an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from the encryption algorithm parameters and the encrypted data.
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(byte[] encoded)
          Constructs (i.e., parses) an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from its ASN.1 encoding.
EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(String algName, byte[] encryptedData)
          Constructs an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from the encryption algorithm name and the encrypted data.
 
Method Summary

Constructor Detail

EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo

public EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(byte[] encoded)
                        throws IOException
Constructs (i.e., parses) an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from its ASN.1 encoding.

Parameters:
encoded - the ASN.1 encoding of this object.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the encoded is null.
IOException - if error occurs when parsing the ASN.1 encoding.

EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo

public EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(String algName,
                               byte[] encryptedData)
                        throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Constructs an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from the encryption algorithm name and the encrypted data.

Note: the encrypedData is cloned when constructing this object. If encryption algorithm has associated parameters use the constructor with AlgorithmParameters as the parameter.

Parameters:
algName - algorithm name.
encryptedData - encrypted data.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if algName or encryptedData is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if encryptedData is empty, i.e. 0-length.
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the specified algName is not supported.

EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo

public EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo(AlgorithmParameters algParams,
                               byte[] encryptedData)
                        throws NoSuchAlgorithmException
Constructs an EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo from the encryption algorithm parameters and the encrypted data.

Note: the encrypedData is cloned when constructing this object.

Parameters:
algParams - the algorithm parameters for the encryption algorithm. algParams.getEncoded() should return the ASN.1 encoded bytes of the parameters field of the AlgorithmIdentifer component of the EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo type.
encryptedData - encrypted data.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if algParams or encryptedData is null.
IllegalArgumentException - if encryptedData is empty, i.e. 0-length.
NoSuchAlgorithmException - if the specified algName of the specified algParams parameter is not supported.
Method Detail

getAlgName

public String getAlgName()
Returns the encryption algorithm.

Returns:
the algorithm name.

getAlgParameters

public AlgorithmParameters getAlgParameters()
Returns the algorithm parameters used by the encryption algorithm.

Returns:
the algorithm parameters.

getEncryptedData

a copy of the encrypted data.

getKeySpec

public PKCS8EncodedKeySpec getKeySpec(Cipher c)
                               throws InvalidKeySpecException
Extract the enclosed PKCS8EncodedKeySpec object from the encrypted data and return it.

Returns:
the PKCS8EncodedKeySpec object.
Throws:
InvalidKeySpecException - if the given cipher is inappropriate for the encrypted data or the encrypted data is corrupted and cannot be decrypted.

getEncoded

public byte[] getEncoded()
                  throws IOException
Returns the ASN.1 encoding of this object.

Returns:
the ASN.1 encoding.
Throws:
IOException - if error occurs when constructing its ASN.1 encoding.
