Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`ASCII`	Do a straight char[] to 8 bit conversion.
`PKCS12`	Do char[] to BMP conversion (i.e. 2 bytes per character).
`UTF8`	Do a char[] conversion by producing UTF-8 data.

- Enum Constant Detail
  - ASCII
```
public static final PasswordConverter ASCII
```
    Do a straight char[] to 8 bit conversion.
  - UTF8
```
public static final PasswordConverter UTF8
```
    Do a char[] conversion by producing UTF-8 data.
  - PKCS12

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static PasswordConverter[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (PasswordConverter c : PasswordConverter.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static PasswordConverter valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
