- All Implemented Interfaces:
- KeySpec
- public class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
- extends EncodedKeySpec
This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a private key,
encoded according to the ASN.1 type PrivateKeyInfo
,
whose syntax is defined in the PKCS#8 standard, as follows:
PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
version Version,
privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
privateKey PrivateKey,
attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }
Version ::= INTEGER
PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier
PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING
Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute
