Constructor Detail

KerberosKey

public KerberosKey(KerberosPrincipal principal, byte[] key, int type, int version)

Construct a new key with the indicated principal and key.

Parameters: principal the principal key the key's data type the key's type version the key's version number

KerberosKey

public KerberosKey(KerberosPrincipal principal, char[] passwd, String algo)

Construct a new key with the indicated principal and a password.

Parameters: principal the principal passwd the password to use algo the algorithm; if null the "DES" algorithm is used

Method Detail

destroy

public void destroy()

Destroy this key.

getAlgorithm

public final String getAlgorithm()

Return the name of the algorithm used to create this key.

getEncoded

public final byte[] getEncoded()

Return the encoded form of this key.

getFormat

public final String getFormat()

Return the format of this key. This implementation always returns "RAW".
