Uses of Interface
java.security.PrivateKey

Packages that use PrivateKey

java.security	Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
java.security.interfaces	Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

Uses of PrivateKey in java.security

Methods in java.security that return PrivateKey

protected abstract PrivateKey	KeyFactorySpi.engineGeneratePrivate(KeySpec keySpec) Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).
PrivateKey	KeyFactory.generatePrivate(KeySpec keySpec) Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).
PrivateKey	KeyPair.getPrivate() Returns a reference to the private key component of this key pair.
PrivateKey	Signer.getPrivateKey() Deprecated. Returns this signer's private key.

Methods in java.security with parameters of type PrivateKey

protected abstract void	SignatureSpi.engineInitSign(PrivateKey privateKey) Initializes this signature object with the specified private key for signing operations.
protected void	SignatureSpi.engineInitSign(PrivateKey privateKey, SecureRandom random) Initializes this signature object with the specified private key and source of randomness for signing operations.
void	Signature.initSign(PrivateKey privateKey) Initialize this object for signing.
void	Signature.initSign(PrivateKey privateKey, SecureRandom random) Initialize this object for signing.

Constructors in java.security with parameters of type PrivateKey

SignedObject.SignedObject(Serializable object, PrivateKey signingKey, Signature signingEngine)
Constructs a SignedObject from any Serializable object.

KeyPair.KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey, PrivateKey privateKey)
Constructs a key pair from the given public key and private key.
