  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    byte[]
    getEncoded()
    return a string of bytes giving the encoded format of the key, as described by it's format.
    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.
