This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a public key,
encoded according to the ASN.1 type SubjectPublicKeyInfo.
The SubjectPublicKeyInfo syntax is defined in the X.509
standard as follows:
Developers
SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {

X509EncodedKeySpec (byte[] encodedKey)
Creates a new X509EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
encodedKey |
byte:
the key, which is assumed to be
encoded according to the X.509 standard. The contents of the
array are copied to protect against subsequent modification. |
| Throws | |
|---|---|
NullPointerException |
if encodedKey
is null.
|
byte[] getEncoded ()
Returns the key bytes, encoded according to the X.509 standard.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
byte[] |
the X.509 encoding of the key. Returns a new array each time this method is called. |
String getFormat ()
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
String |
the string "X.509".
