JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

Key

Synopsis

This interface defines the key object that is used to initialize a cipher. Keys are usually opaque objects; although you can retrieve information about them through this interface, they are read-only objects. Keys are obtained from the jxta.security.impl.KeyBuilder class.

public interface Key {
// Public Instance Methods
   public abstract void clearKey();  
   public abstract int getLength();  
   public abstract short getSize();  
   public abstract byte getType();  
   public abstract boolean isInitialized();  
}
