Constructor Detail

ElGamalPrivateKeyParameters

public ElGamalPrivateKeyParameters(java.math.BigInteger x,
                                   ElGamalParameters params)

Method Detail

getX

public java.math.BigInteger getX()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class ElGamalKeyParameters

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class ElGamalKeyParameters

destroy

public void destroy()

Destroy this object, dropping its reference to the private value.

As BigInteger is immutable the private value cannot be zeroized in place; destruction drops the internal reference so the value becomes unreachable (cleared on garbage collection). The (public) domain parameters are retained. After destruction getX() throws IllegalStateException, hashCode() retains its pre-destruction value and the object is equal only to itself.
