Method Details

decodePrivateKey

public PrivateKey decodePrivateKey(byte[] k)
Decodes an instance of an external private key into its native Java representation.
Specified by:
decodePrivateKey in interface IKeyPairCodec
Parameters:
Returns:
a concrete instance of a private key, reconstructed from the designated input.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the designated input does not contain a known representation of a private key for the format supported by the concrete codec.

decodePublicKey

public PublicKey decodePublicKey(byte[] k)
Decodes an instance of an external public key into its native Java representation.
Specified by:
decodePublicKey in interface IKeyPairCodec
Parameters:
Returns:
a concrete instance of a public key, reconstructed from the designated input.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the designated input does not contain a known representation of a public key for the format supported by the concrete codec.

encodePrivateKey

public byte[] encodePrivateKey(PrivateKey key)
Returns the encoded form of the designated RSA private key according to the Raw format supported by this library.

The Raw format for an RSA private key, in this implementation, is a byte sequence consisting of the following:

  1. 4-byte magic consisting of the value of the literal Registry.MAGIC_RAW_RSA_PRIVATE_KEY,
  2. 1-byte version consisting of the constant: 0x01,
  3. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter p (the first prime factor of the modulus) in internet order,
  4. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter p,
  5. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter q (the second prime factor of the modulus) in internet order,
  6. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter q,
  7. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter e (the public exponent) in internet order,
  8. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter e,
  9. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter d (the private exponent) in internet order,
  10. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter d,
Specified by:
encodePrivateKey in interface IKeyPairCodec
Parameters:
key - the key to encode.
Returns:
the Raw format encoding of the designated key.

encodePublicKey

public byte[] encodePublicKey(PublicKey key)
Returns the encoded form of the designated RSA public key according to the Raw format supported by this library.

The Raw format for an RSA public key, in this implementation, is a byte sequence consisting of the following:

  1. 4-byte magic consisting of the value of the literal Registry.MAGIC_RAW_RSA_PUBLIC_KEY,
  2. 1-byte version consisting of the constant: 0x01,
  3. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter n (the modulus) in internet order,
  4. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter n,
  5. 4-byte count of following bytes representing the RSA parameter e (the public exponent) in internet order,
  6. n-bytes representation of a BigInteger obtained by invoking the toByteArray() method on the RSA parameter e.
Specified by:
encodePublicKey in interface IKeyPairCodec
Parameters:
key - the key to encode.
Returns:
the Raw format encoding of the designated key.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the designated key is not an RSA one.

getFormatID

public int getFormatID()
Returns the unique identifier (within this library) of the format used to externalise public and private keys.
Specified by:
getFormatID in interface IKeyPairCodec
Returns:
the identifier of the format, the object supports.
