verify

public void verify()
            throws InvalidKeyException,
                   InvalidCryptoSystemException,
                   InvalidKeyPairException,

Checks the integrity of the associated PublicKey and PrivateKey, and then performs an integrity check on the private and public key parameters. The PublicKey and PrivateKey are checked via their verify() methods, and then the following is verified:

Specified by:
verify in class KeyPair
Throws:
InvalidKeyException - Thrown if the public or private key parameters are invalid.
InvalidCryptoSystemException - Thrown if the crypto system parameters are invalid.
InvalidKeyPairException - Thrown when the keys are not related.

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Description copied from class: Object
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

The general contract of hashCode is:

As much as is reasonably practical, the hashCode method defined by class Object does return distinct integers for distinct objects. (This is typically implemented by converting the internal address of the object into an integer, but this implementation technique is not required by the JavaTM programming language.)

Overrides:
hashCode in class KeyPair
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Description copied from class: Object
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation:

The equals method for class Object implements the most discriminating possible equivalence relation on objects; that is, for any reference values x and y, this method returns true if and only if x and y refer to the same object (x==y has the value true).

Overrides:
equals in class KeyPair
Parameters:
obj - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
