DSAPrivateKeySpec

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• DSAPrivateKeySpec specifies a DSA private key and its parameters (p, q, g).

• It includes the private key x and the public key components: prime p, sub-prime q, and base g.

• It provides methods to retrieve these parameters: getX(), getP(), getQ(), and getG().

• DSAPrivateKeySpec is used with KeyFactory to convert the key into a usable Key object.
