    - #### DHPublicKey

          public DHPublicKey(java.math.BigInteger y)

      Base constructor.
      Parameters:
        `y` - the public value Y.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

          public static DHPublicKey getInstance(ASN1TaggedObject obj,
                                                boolean explicit)

      Return a DHPublicKey from the passed in tagged object.
      Parameters:
        `obj` - a tagged object.
        `explicit` - true if the contents of the object is explictly tagged, false otherwise.
      Returns:

      Parameters:
        `obj` - an object for conversion or a byte[].
      Returns:
        a DHPublicKey

    - #### getY

          public java.math.BigInteger getY()

      Return the public value Y for the key.
      Returns:
        the Y value.

    - #### toASN1Primitive

          public ASN1Primitive toASN1Primitive()

      Return an ASN.1 primitive representation of this object.
