All Implemented Interfaces:
KeySpec
public class PKCS8EncodedKeySpec
extends EncodedKeySpec

This class represents the ASN.1 encoding of a private key, encoded according to the ASN.1 type PrivateKeyInfo, whose syntax is defined in the PKCS#8 standard, as follows: 

 PrivateKeyInfo ::= SEQUENCE {
   version Version,
   privateKeyAlgorithm PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier,
   privateKey PrivateKey,
   attributes [0] IMPLICIT Attributes OPTIONAL }

 Version ::= INTEGER

 PrivateKeyAlgorithmIdentifier ::= AlgorithmIdentifier

 PrivateKey ::= OCTET STRING

 Attributes ::= SET OF Attribute

Since:
1.2
