public abstract class OctetArrayBCPGKey
extends BCPGObject
implements BCPGKey
```
Public/Secret BCPGKey which is encoded as an array of octets rather than an MPI.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`encode(BCPGOutputStream out)`
`byte[]`	`getEncoded()`	return the standard PGP encoding of the key.
`java.lang.String`	`getFormat()`	Return the base format for this key - in the case of the symmetric keys it will generally be raw indicating that the key is just a straight byte representation, for an asymmetric key the format will be PGP, indicating the key is a string of MPIs or octets encoded in PGP format.
`byte[]`	`getKey()`
