Method Detail

getPublicKey

public abstract PGPPublicKey getPublicKey()

Return the first public key in the ring. In the case of a PGPSecretKeyRing this is also the public key of the master key pair.

Returns:

PGPPublicKey

getPublicKeys

public abstract java.util.Iterator getPublicKeys()

Return an iterator containing all the public keys.

Returns:

Iterator

getPublicKey

public abstract PGPPublicKey getPublicKey(long keyID)

Return the public key referred to by the passed in keyID if it is present.

Parameters:

keyID - the full keyID of the key of interest.

Returns:

PGPPublicKey with matching keyID.

getPublicKey

public abstract PGPPublicKey getPublicKey(byte[] fingerprint)

Return the public key with the passed in fingerprint if it is present.

Parameters:

fingerprint - the full fingerprint of the key of interest.

Returns:

PGPPublicKey with the matching fingerprint.

getKeysWithSignaturesBy

public abstract java.util.Iterator getKeysWithSignaturesBy(long keyID)

Return an iterator containing all the public keys carrying signatures issued from key keyID.

Returns:

a an iterator (possibly empty) of the public keys associated with keyID.

encode

public abstract void encode(java.io.OutputStream outStream)
                     throws java.io.IOException

getEncoded

public abstract byte[] getEncoded()
                           throws java.io.IOException
