DHPublicKey

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• DHPublicKey provides an interface for Diffie-Hellman public keys in Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA).

• It extends the DHKey and PublicKey interfaces for key management and public key operations.

• The core functionality is to retrieve the public value (y) and key parameters using getY() and getParams() methods.

• It includes serialVersionUID to ensure serialization compatibility.
