Class PGPKeyPair

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPKeyPair

Direct Known Subclasses:

BcPGPKeyPair, JcaPGPKeyPair

public class PGPKeyPair
extends java.lang.Object

General class to handle JCA key pairs and convert them into OpenPGP ones.

A word for the unwary, the KeyID for a OpenPGP public key is calculated from a hash that includes the time of creation, if you pass a different date to the constructor below with the same public private key pair the KeyID will not be the same as for previous generations of the key, so ideally you only want to do this once.
