Name

Class javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory

Synopsis

A secret key factory is used to convert between secret key data formats; like a key factory, this is typically used to import a key based on its external format or to export a key to its encoded format or algorithm parameters. Instances of this class are obtained by calling the getInstance( ) method. Keys may be exported by using the translateKey( ) method; they are imported by using the generate Secret( ) method.
