KeyFactory (Java SE 21 & JDK 21)

Key factories are used to convert

(opaque cryptographic keys of type

) into

(transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa.

Key factories are bidirectional. That is, they allow you to build an opaque key object from a given key specification (key material), or to retrieve the underlying key material of a key object in a suitable format.

Multiple compatible key specifications may exist for the same key. For example, a DSA public key may be specified using DSAPublicKeySpec or X509EncodedKeySpec. A key factory can be used to translate between compatible key specifications.

The following is an example of how to use a key factory in order to instantiate a DSA public key from its encoding. Assume Alice has received a digital signature from Bob. Bob also sent her his public key (in encoded format) to verify his signature. Alice then performs the following actions:

 X509EncodedKeySpec bobPubKeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(bobEncodedPubKey);
 KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA");
 PublicKey bobPubKey = keyFactory.generatePublic(bobPubKeySpec);
 Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("DSA");
 sig.initVerify(bobPubKey);
 sig.update(data);
 sig.verify(signature);
 

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard KeyFactory algorithms:

• DiffieHellman
• DSA
• RSA

These algorithms are described in the

of the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other algorithms are supported.

• Constructor Details
  • KeyFactory

    Creates a KeyFactory object.

    Parameters:

    keyFacSpi - the delegate

    provider - the provider

    algorithm - the name of the algorithm to associate with this KeyFactory

• Method Details
  • getInstance

    Returns a

    KeyFactory

    object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

    This method traverses the list of registered security providers, starting with the most preferred provider. A new KeyFactory object encapsulating the KeyFactorySpi implementation from the first provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

    Implementation Note:

    The JDK Reference Implementation additionally uses the jdk.security.provider.preferred Security property to determine the preferred provider order for the specified algorithm. This may be different from the order of providers returned by Security.getProviders().

    Parameters:

    algorithm - the name of the requested key algorithm. See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.

    Returns:

    the new KeyFactory object

    Throws:

    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if no Provider supports a KeyFactorySpi implementation for the specified algorithm

    NullPointerException - if algorithm is null

    • Provider

  • getInstance

    Returns a

    KeyFactory

    object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

    A new KeyFactory object encapsulating the KeyFactorySpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. The specified provider must be registered in the security provider list.

    Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security.getProviders() method.

    Parameters:

    algorithm - the name of the requested key algorithm. See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.

    provider - the name of the provider.

    Returns:

    the new KeyFactory object

    Throws:

    IllegalArgumentException - if the provider name is null or empty

    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if a KeyFactorySpi implementation for the specified algorithm is not available from the specified provider

    NoSuchProviderException - if the specified provider is not registered in the security provider list

    NullPointerException - if algorithm is null

    • Provider

  • getInstance

    Returns a

    KeyFactory

    object that converts public/private keys of the specified algorithm.

    A new KeyFactory object encapsulating the KeyFactorySpi implementation from the specified provider is returned. Note that the specified provider does not have to be registered in the provider list.

    Parameters:

    algorithm - the name of the requested key algorithm. See the KeyFactory section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard algorithm names.

    provider - the provider.

    Returns:

    the new KeyFactory object

    Throws:

    IllegalArgumentException - if the specified provider is null

    NoSuchAlgorithmException - if a KeyFactorySpi implementation for the specified algorithm is not available from the specified Provider object

    NullPointerException - if algorithm is null

  • generatePublic

    Generates a public key object from the provided key specification (key material).

    Parameters:

    keySpec - the specification (key material) of the public key.

    Returns:

    Throws:

    InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a public key.

    Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).

    Parameters:

    keySpec - the specification (key material) of the private key.

    Returns:

    the private key.

    Throws:

    InvalidKeySpecException - if the given key specification is inappropriate for this key factory to produce a private key.

  • getKeySpec

    Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object. keySpec identifies the specification class in which the key material should be returned. It could, for example, be DSAPublicKeySpec.class, to indicate that the key material should be returned in an instance of the DSAPublicKeySpec class.

    Type Parameters:

    T - the type of the key specification to be returned

    Parameters:

    key - the key.
