Constructor Details

PasswordProtection

public PasswordProtection(char[] password)

Creates a password parameter.

The specified password is cloned before it is stored in the new PasswordProtection object.

Parameters:

password - the password, which may be null

PasswordProtection

public PasswordProtection(char[] password,
 String protectionAlgorithm,
 AlgorithmParameterSpec protectionParameters)

Creates a password parameter and specifies the protection algorithm and associated parameters to use when encrypting a keystore entry.

The specified password is cloned before it is stored in the new PasswordProtection object.

Parameters:

password - the password, which may be null

protectionAlgorithm - the encryption algorithm name, for example, PBEWithHmacSHA256AndAES_256. See the Cipher section in the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names Specification for information about standard encryption algorithm names.

protectionParameters - the encryption algorithm parameter specification, which may be null

Throws:

NullPointerException - if protectionAlgorithm is null

Since:

1.8

Method Details

getProtectionAlgorithm

public String getProtectionAlgorithm()

Gets the name of the protection algorithm. If none was set then the keystore provider will use its default protection algorithm.

Returns:

the algorithm name, or null if none was set

Since:

1.8

getProtectionParameters

public AlgorithmParameterSpec getProtectionParameters()

Gets the parameters supplied for the protection algorithm.

Returns:

the algorithm parameter specification, or null, if none was set

Since:

1.8

getPassword

public char[] getPassword()

Gets the password.

Note that this method returns a reference to the password. If a clone of the array is created it is the caller's responsibility to zero out the password information after it is no longer needed.

Returns:

the password, which may be null

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the password has been cleared (destroyed)

See Also:

• destroy()

destroy

public void destroy()
             throws DestroyFailedException

Clears the password.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Destroyable

Throws:

DestroyFailedException - if this method was unable to clear the password

isDestroyed

public boolean isDestroyed()

Determines if password has been cleared.

Specified by:

isDestroyed in interface Destroyable

Returns:

true if the password has been cleared, false otherwise
