public abstract class SecretKeyFactorySpi

extends Object

Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the SecretKeyFactory class. Attention: This is not a SUN implementation!

This class has been developed by IAIK according to the documentation publically available.
For SUNīs documentation of this class see http://java.sun.com/security/JCE1.2/spec/apidoc/index.html

This SPI class has to be implemented by a provider for each symmetric algorithm it wishes to provide a seceret key factory for converting keys from opaque into transparent representation and vice versa.

The corresponding API class actually used by an application for secret key/specification conversion is the javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory class.

File Revision 13

Method Detail

engineGenerateSecret

protected abstract SecretKey engineGenerateSecret(KeySpec keySpec)
                                           throws InvalidKeySpecException

Converts the given key specification (key material) into a SecretKey object.

Parameters:

keySpec - the specification (key material) to be converted into SecretKey representation.

Returns:

the SecretKey object

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key material cannot be converted into a SecretKey object by this key factory

engineGetKeySpec

protected abstract KeySpec engineGetKeySpec(SecretKey key,
                                            Class keySpec)
                                     throws InvalidKeySpecException

Converts the given secret key into the requested key specification (key material).

Parameters:

key - the secret key to be converted.

keySpec - the key specification type into which the secret key shall be converted

Returns:

the key specification (key material) derived from the given secret key

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the given secret key cannot be converted into the requested key specification object by this key factory

engineTranslateKey

protected abstract SecretKey engineTranslateKey(SecretKey key)
                                         throws InvalidKeyException

Translates a key object of some unknown or untrusted provider into a secret key object of this key factory.

Parameters:

key - the key of some unknown or untrusted provider

Returns:

the translated key

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the given key cannot be translated by this key factory
