package java.security.spec;

This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a public key, encoded according to the ASN.1 type SubjectPublicKeyInfo. The SubjectPublicKeyInfo syntax is defined in the X.509 standard as follows:
SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
  algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
  subjectPublicKey BIT STRING }
Author:Jan Luehe

public class X509EncodedKeySpec extends EncodedKeySpec {
Creates a new X509EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key.
Params:
  • encodedKey – the key, which is assumed to be encoded according to the X.509 standard. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
Throws:
/** * Creates a new {@code X509EncodedKeySpec} with the given encoded key. * * @param encodedKey the key, which is assumed to be * encoded according to the X.509 standard.

public X509EncodedKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey) { super(encodedKey); }
Creates a new X509EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key. This constructor is useful when subsequent callers of the X509EncodedKeySpec object might not know the algorithm of the key.
Params:
  • encodedKey – the key, which is assumed to be encoded according to the X.509 standard. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification.
  • algorithm – the algorithm name of the encoded public key See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.
