Interface DHPrivateKey

All Superinterfaces:

DHKey, Key, PrivateKey, Serializable

public interface DHPrivateKey
extends DHKey, PrivateKey

This interface marks a private key in the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. It should be treated with as much care as any PrivateKey.

Implementations of Diffie-Hellman private keys should implement this interface. Applications that know a particular key is a Diffie-Hellman private key can safely cast it to this interface.

Since:

1.4
