JXTA in a Nutshell

Name

RSAKey

Synopsis

This class provides the implementation of an RSA public/private key pair. Instances of this class are returned by the KeyBuilder class. Pass an instance of this class to the JxtaCryptoSuite class when you need to support RSA-based algorithms; the algorithms returned by that suite will use the keys encoded in this object.

You create the JxtaCryptoSuite object before initializing this key and then obtain the public key algorithm implementation from the suite. You must then use the setPublicKey( ) and setPrivateKey( ) methods of that interface to initialize the RSA key.

Because it’s used to create the JxtaCryptoSuite object, this class is commonly used.
