public final class KeyFactory

extends SecretKeyFactorySpi

SecretKeyFactory implementation for the PBE ciphers (PKCS#5).

Keys may appear in two representations within the Java Security environment:

• opaque, of type java.security.Key
• transparent, of some ...Spec type (specification, key material), e.g. DESKeySpec

This SecretKey factory may be used for converting opaque secret keys (instances of javax.crypto.SecretKey, iaik.security.cipher.PBEKey) into transparent PBE key material (instances of javax.crypto.spec.PBEKeySpec) according to the PKCS#5 Password-Based Encryption Standard.

An application shall use the getInstance factory method of the javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory engine class for accessing this PBE KeyFactory, e.g.:

 PBEKeySpec keySpec = new PBEKeySpec("password".toCharArray());
 SecretKeyFactory kf = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("PBE", "IAIK");
 SecretKey sk = kf.generateSecret(keySpec);

Method Detail

engineGenerateSecret

protected SecretKey engineGenerateSecret(KeySpec keySpec)
                                  throws InvalidKeySpecException

Converts the given key specification (key material) into a SecretKey object.

The supplied keySpec has to be an instance of javax.crypto.spec.PBEKeySpec.

Overrides:

engineGenerateSecret in class SecretKeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

keySpec - the specification (key material) to be converted into SecretKey representation.

Returns:

the SecretKey object as instance of iaik.security.cipher.PBEKey

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key material cannot be converted into a SecretKey object by this key factory

engineGetKeySpec

protected KeySpec engineGetKeySpec(SecretKey secretKey,
                                   Class classSpec)
                            throws InvalidKeySpecException

Converts the given secret key into the requested key specification (key material).

This method may be used for getting a javax.crypto.spec.PBEKeySpec from the given secret key. The supplied secret key has to be an instance of iaik.security.cipher.PBEKey.

Overrides:

engineGetKeySpec in class SecretKeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

secretKey - the secret key to be converted

classSpec - the class implementing the requested secret key spec

Returns:

the key specification (key material) derived from the given secret key

Throws:

InvalidKeySpecException - if the given secret key cannot be converted into the requested key specification object by this key factory

engineTranslateKey

protected SecretKey engineTranslateKey(SecretKey secretKey)
                                throws InvalidKeyException

Translates a key object of some unknown or untrusted provider into a secret key object of this key factory.

Overrides:

engineTranslateKey in class SecretKeyFactorySpi

Parameters:

secretKey - the key of some unknown or untrusted provider

Returns:

the translated key as instance of iaik.security.cipher.PBEKey

Throws:

InvalidKeyException - if the given key cannot be translated by this key factory
