Interface AsymmetricKeyPairFactory<PR extends PrivateKey,PU extends PublicKey,PAIR extends AsymmetricKeyPair<PR,PU>>

Type Parameters:

PR - type of PrivateKey.

PU - type of PublicKey.

PAIR - type of AsymmetricKeyPair.

All Superinterfaces:

AsymmetricKeyPairFactorySimple<PR,PU,PAIR>, PrivateKeyFactory<PR>, PublicKeyFactory<PU>

All Known Subinterfaces:

AsymmetricKeyCreator<PR,PU,PAIR>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAsymmetricKeyCreator, AbstractAsymmetricKeyPairFactory, AsymmetricKeyCreatorImpl, AsymmetricKeyCreatorRsa, AsymmetricKeyPairFactoryEcJce, AsymmetricKeyPairFactoryEncoded, AsymmetricKeyPairFactoryRsaCompact

public interface AsymmetricKeyPairFactory<PR extends PrivateKey,PU extends PublicKey,PAIR extends AsymmetricKeyPair<PR,PU>>
extends PrivateKeyFactory<PR>, PublicKeyFactory<PU>, AsymmetricKeyPairFactorySimple<PR,PU,PAIR>

Interface for factory to create instances of AsymmetricKeyPair, PrivateKey, and PublicKey. It shall only be used internally (as SPI). End-users shall use AsymmetricKeyCreator.
