ECPrivateKey

AI-generated Key Takeaways

ECPrivateKey represents an elliptic curve private key in Java security.
It provides access to the private value (S) and the associated domain parameters.
This interface inherits functionality from PrivateKey, ECKey, and other related interfaces.
ECPrivateKey supports encoding and serialization for persistence and interoperability.
The interface includes methods for retrieving key attributes like algorithm, format, and encoded representation.

public interface ECPrivateKey implements PrivateKey ECKey

The interface to an elliptic curve (EC) private key.

long serialVersionUID The class fingerprint that is set to indicate serialization compatibility.

From interface java.security.PrivateKey

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

getS()

Returns the private value S.

From interface java.security.interfaces.ECKey

getParams()

Returns the domain parameters associated with this key.

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.
