• Method Detail

  • getPrivateKey

    public PrivateKey getPrivateKey()

    Deprecated.
    Returns this signer's private key.

    First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "getSignerPrivateKey" as its argument to see if it's ok to return the private key.

    Returns:

    this signer's private key, or null if the private key has not yet been set.

    Throws:

    SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSecurityAccess method doesn't allow returning the private key.

     throws InvalidParameterException,
     KeyException 

    Deprecated.
    Sets the key pair (public key and private key) for this signer.

    First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "setSignerKeyPair" as its argument to see if it's ok to set the key pair.

    Parameters:

    pair - an initialized key pair.

    Throws:

    InvalidParameterException - if the key pair is not properly initialized.

    KeyException - if the key pair cannot be set for any other reason.
