Java.Security.Spec Namespace
This package provides the classes and interfaces needed to specify keys and parameters for
encryption and signing algorithms.
Remarks
This package provides the classes and interfaces needed to specify keys and parameters for encryption and signing algorithms. The following standards are supported: (1) PKCS#1 RSA encryption standard; (2) FIPS-186 DSA (signature) standard; (3) PKCS#8 private key information standard. Keys may be specified via algorithm or in a more abstract and general way with ASN.1. The parameters for the Elliptic Curve (EC) encryption algorithm are only specified as input parameters to the relevant EC-generator.
