Interface PBEKey
- Key, SecretKey, Serializable
- GnuPBEKey
Interface to a password-derived key for password-based encryption
(PBE). Applications working with a
SecretKey
that is known to be a password-based key can safely cast such keys to
this interface.
int | getIterationCount()- Retruns the iteration count, or 0 if not specified.
|
char[] | getPassword()- Returns a copy of the password as a character array.
|
byte[] | getSalt()- Returns a copy of the salt.

serialVersionUID
public static final long serialVersionUID
Compatible with JDK1.4.
getIterationCount
public int getIterationCount()
Retruns the iteration count, or 0 if not specified.
getPassword
public char[] getPassword()
Returns a copy of the password as a character array. It is the
caller's responsibility to zero-out the password when it is no
longer in use.
Although it is not specified in the documentation,
implementations should not copy or clone the password array, but
rather return the reference to the array itself, so the caller has
the ability to erase the password.
getSalt
public byte[] getSalt()
Returns a copy of the salt. It is the caller's responsibility to
zero-out the salt when it is no longer in use.
Although it is not specified in the documentation,
implementations should not copy or clone the salt array, but
rather return the reference to the array itself, so the caller has
the ability to erase the salt.
