KeyPair

public KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey,
               PrivateKey privateKey)
        throws InvalidKeyPairException
Creates a new KeyPair object.

Parameters:
publicKey - The publicKey object that represents the public key in the key pair.
privateKey - The privatekey object that represents the private key in the key pair.
Throws:
InvalidKeyPairException

Method Detail

setKeyPair

protected final void setKeyPair(PublicKey publicKey,
                                PrivateKey privateKey)
Sets the key pair.

This method should only be called from the constructor of subclasses, since it changes the hashcode of the object.

Parameters:
publicKey - The public key.
privateKey - The private key.

getPublicKey

public PublicKey getPublicKey()
Returns the public key associated with this key pair.

Returns:
The PublicKey associated with the key pair.

getPrivateKey

public PrivateKey getPrivateKey()
Returns the private key associated with this key pair.

Returns:
The PrivateKey associated with the key pair.

verify

public abstract void verify()
                     throws InvalidKeyException,
                            InvalidCryptoSystemException,
                            InvalidKeyPairException,
                            CryptoTokenException,
                            CryptoUnsupportedOperationException
Performs certain integrity checks on the key pair parameters.

These checks are useful to prevent certain types of attacks that involve modifying the parameters and then using a signed message to calculate the private key parameters.

Throws:
InvalidKeyException - Thrown when one or both of the keys are of an invalid format.
InvalidCryptoSystemException - Thrown if the specified crypto system is invalid.
InvalidKeyPairException - Thrown when the keys are not related.
CryptoTokenException - Thrown if an error occurs with the crypto token or the crypto token is invalid.
CryptoUnsupportedOperationException - Thrown if a call is made to an unsupported operation.

isVerified

public boolean isVerified()
Returns a boolean that determines if this key pair is verified.

Returns:
A boolean that determines if the key pair has been verified.

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 Object
Returns:
a hash code value for this object.

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

Since:

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 Object
Parameters:
obj - the reference object with which to compare.
Returns:
true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
