   java.security.KeyPair

All Implemented Interfaces:
java$io$Serializable

This class is a simple holder for a key pair (a public key and a private key). It does not enforce any security, and, when initialized, should be treated like a PrivateKey.

PrivateKey

Constructor:

Constructor:
public KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey, PrivateKey privateKey) { this.publicKey = publicKey; this.privateKey = privateKey; } Constructs a key pair from the given public key and private key. Note that this constructor only stores references to the public and private key components in the generated key pair. This is safe, because `Key` objects are immutable. Parameters: `publicKey` - the public key. `privateKey` - the private key.

 public KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey,
    PrivateKey privateKey) {
        this.publicKey = publicKey;
        this.privateKey = privateKey;
}

Note that this constructor only stores references to the public and private key components in the generated key pair. This is safe, because Key objects are immutable.

Parameters:

publicKey - the public key.

privateKey - the private key.
