All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec

This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a public key, encoded according to the ASN.1 type SubjectPublicKeyInfo. The SubjectPublicKeyInfo syntax is defined in the X.509 standard as follows:

SubjectPublicKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
algorithm AlgorithmIdentifier,
subjectPublicKey BIT STRING }

Constructor:

Constructor:
public X509EncodedKeySpec(byte[] encodedKey) { super(encodedKey); } Creates a new X509EncodedKeySpec with the given encoded key. Parameters: `encodedKey` - the key, which is assumed to be encoded according to the X.509 standard. The contents of the array are copied to protect against subsequent modification. Throws: `NullPointerException` - if `encodedKey` is null. exception: `NullPointerException` - if `encodedKey` is null.
