abstract public class: KeyStoreSpi [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   java.security.KeyStoreSpi
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyStore class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a keystore for a particular keystore type.
Method from java.security.KeyStoreSpi Summary:
engineAliases,   engineContainsAlias,   engineDeleteEntry,   engineEntryInstanceOf,   engineGetCertificate,   engineGetCertificateAlias,   engineGetCertificateChain,   engineGetCreationDate,   engineGetEntry,   engineGetKey,   engineIsCertificateEntry,   engineIsKeyEntry,   engineLoad,   engineLoad,   engineSetCertificateEntry,   engineSetEntry,   engineSetKeyEntry,   engineSetKeyEntry,   engineSize,   engineStore,   engineStore
Methods from java.lang.Object:
clone,   equals,   finalize,   getClass,   hashCode,   notify,   notifyAll,   toString,   wait,   wait,   wait
Method from java.security.KeyStoreSpi Detail:
 abstract public Enumeration<String> engineAliases()
    Lists all the alias names of this keystore.
 abstract public boolean engineContainsAlias(String alias)
    Checks if the given alias exists in this keystore.
 abstract public  void engineDeleteEntry(String alias) throws KeyStoreException
    Deletes the entry identified by the given alias from this keystore.
 public boolean engineEntryInstanceOf(String alias,
    Class<Entry> entryClass) 
    Determines if the keystore Entry for the specified alias is an instance or subclass of the specified entryClass.
 abstract public Certificate engineGetCertificate(String alias)
    Returns the certificate associated with the given alias.

    If the given alias name identifies an entry created by a call to setCertificateEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a TrustedCertificateEntry, then the trusted certificate contained in that entry is returned.

    If the given alias name identifies an entry created by a call to setKeyEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a PrivateKeyEntry, then the first element of the certificate chain in that entry (if a chain exists) is returned.

 abstract public String engineGetCertificateAlias(Certificate cert)
    Returns the (alias) name of the first keystore entry whose certificate matches the given certificate.

    This method attempts to match the given certificate with each keystore entry. If the entry being considered was created by a call to setCertificateEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a TrustedCertificateEntry, then the given certificate is compared to that entry's certificate.

    If the entry being considered was created by a call to setKeyEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a PrivateKeyEntry, then the given certificate is compared to the first element of that entry's certificate chain.

 abstract public Certificate[] engineGetCertificateChain(String alias)
    Returns the certificate chain associated with the given alias. The certificate chain must have been associated with the alias by a call to setKeyEntry, or by a call to setEntry with a PrivateKeyEntry.
 abstract public Date engineGetCreationDate(String alias)
    Returns the creation date of the entry identified by the given alias.
 public Entry engineGetEntry(String alias,
    ProtectionParameter protParam) throws KeyStoreException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnrecoverableEntryException 
    Gets a KeyStore.Entry for the specified alias with the specified protection parameter.
 abstract public Key engineGetKey(String alias,
    char[] password) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnrecoverableKeyException
    Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it. The key must have been associated with the alias by a call to setKeyEntry, or by a call to setEntry with a PrivateKeyEntry or SecretKeyEntry.
 abstract public boolean engineIsCertificateEntry(String alias)
    Returns true if the entry identified by the given alias was created by a call to setCertificateEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a TrustedCertificateEntry.
 abstract public boolean engineIsKeyEntry(String alias)
    Returns true if the entry identified by the given alias was created by a call to setKeyEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a PrivateKeyEntry or a SecretKeyEntry.
 public  void engineLoad(LoadStoreParameter param) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, CertificateException 
    Loads the keystore using the given KeyStore.LoadStoreParameter.

    Note that if this KeyStore has already been loaded, it is reinitialized and loaded again from the given parameter.

 abstract public  void engineLoad(InputStream stream,
    char[] password) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, CertificateException
    Loads the keystore from the given input stream.

    A password may be given to unlock the keystore (e.g. the keystore resides on a hardware token device), or to check the integrity of the keystore data. If a password is not given for integrity checking, then integrity checking is not performed.

 abstract public  void engineSetCertificateEntry(String alias,
    Certificate cert) throws KeyStoreException
    Assigns the given certificate to the given alias.

    If the given alias identifies an existing entry created by a call to setCertificateEntry, or created by a call to setEntry with a TrustedCertificateEntry, the trusted certificate in the existing entry is overridden by the given certificate.

 public  void engineSetEntry(String alias,
    Entry entry,
    ProtectionParameter protParam) throws KeyStoreException 
    Saves a KeyStore.Entry under the specified alias. The specified protection parameter is used to protect the Entry.

    If an entry already exists for the specified alias, it is overridden.

 abstract public  void engineSetKeyEntry(String alias,
    byte[] key,
    Certificate[] chain) throws KeyStoreException
    Assigns the given key (that has already been protected) to the given alias.

    If the protected key is of type java.security.PrivateKey, it must be accompanied by a certificate chain certifying the corresponding public key.

    If the given alias already exists, the keystore information associated with it is overridden by the given key (and possibly certificate chain).

 abstract public  void engineSetKeyEntry(String alias,
    Key key,
    char[] password,
    Certificate[] chain) throws KeyStoreException
    Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.

    If the given key is of type java.security.PrivateKey, it must be accompanied by a certificate chain certifying the corresponding public key.

    If the given alias already exists, the keystore information associated with it is overridden by the given key (and possibly certificate chain).

 abstract public int engineSize()
    Retrieves the number of entries in this keystore.
 public  void engineStore(LoadStoreParameter param) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, CertificateException 
    Stores this keystore using the given KeyStore.LoadStoreParmeter.
 abstract public  void engineStore(OutputStream stream,
    char[] password) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, CertificateException
    Stores this keystore to the given output stream, and protects its integrity with the given password.
