Returns this signer's private key.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with "getSignerPrivateKey" as its argument to see if it's ok to return the private key.

Returns:
this signer's private key, or null if the private key has not yet been set.
Throws:
SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSecurityAccess method doesn't allow returning the private key.
