DSAPublicKey

AI-generated Key Takeaways

DSAPublicKey interface provides access to the public key used in the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.
It allows retrieval of the public key value (y) and DSA-specific parameters.
This interface inherits methods for getting the algorithm name, encoded key, and encoding format from the Key interface.
It extends the DSAKey and PublicKey interfaces, providing a specialized type for DSA public keys within the Java security framework.
serialVersionUID ensures serialization compatibility with previous versions of the class.

public interface DSAPublicKey implements DSAKey PublicKey

The interface to a DSA public key. DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) is defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

long serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility with a previous version of the class.

From interface java.security.PublicKey

long serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility with a previous version of the class.

From interface java.security.Key

long serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility with a previous version of the class.

abstract BigInteger

getY()

Returns the value of the public key, y.

From interface java.security.interfaces.DSAKey

abstract DSAParams

getParams()

Returns the DSA-specific key parameters.

From interface java.security.Key

abstract String	getAlgorithm() Returns the standard algorithm name for this key.
abstract byte[]	getEncoded() Returns the key in its primary encoding format, or null if this key does not support encoding.
abstract String	getFormat() Returns the name of the primary encoding format of this key, or null if this key does not support encoding.

The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility with a previous version of the class.

Constant Value: 1234526332779022332

Returns the value of the public key, y.
