Class SecretKeyFactorySpi


  • public abstract class SecretKeyFactorySpi
    extends java.lang.Object
    This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the SecretKeyFactory class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a secret-key factory for a particular algorithm.

    A provider should document all the key specifications supported by its secret key factory. For example, the DES secret-key factory supplied by the "SunJCE" provider supports DESKeySpec as a transparent representation of DES keys, and that provider's secret-key factory for Triple DES keys supports DESedeKeySpec as a transparent representation of Triple DES keys.

                                                   throws InvalidKeySpecException
        Generates a SecretKey object from the provided key specification (key material).
        Parameters:
        keySpec - the specification (key material) of the secret key
        Returns:
