Class EdDSAPublicKey

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Key, PublicKey, EdDSAKey

    public class EdDSAPublicKey
    extends Object
    implements EdDSAKey, PublicKey
    An EdDSA public key.

    Warning: Public key encoding is is based on the current curdle WG draft, and is subject to change. See getEncoded().

    For compatibility with older releases, decoding supports both the old and new draft specifications. See decode().

    • Method Detail

      • getEncoded

        public byte[] getEncoded()
        Returns the public key in its canonical encoding.

        This implements the following specs:

        • General encoding: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-curdle-pkix-04
        • Key encoding: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8032

        For keys in older formats, decoding and then re-encoding is sufficient to migrate them to the canonical encoding.

        Relevant spec quotes:
          In the X.509 certificate, the subjectPublicKeyInfo field has the
          SubjectPublicKeyInfo type, which has the following ASN.1 syntax:
        
          SubjectPublicKeyInfo  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
            algorithm         AlgorithmIdentifier,
            subjectPublicKey  BIT STRING
          }
        
          AlgorithmIdentifier  ::=  SEQUENCE  {
            algorithm   OBJECT IDENTIFIER,
            parameters  ANY DEFINED BY algorithm OPTIONAL
          }
        
          For all of the OIDs, the parameters MUST be absent.
        
          id-Ed25519   OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { 1 3 101 112 }
        
        Specified by:
        getEncoded in interface Key
        Returns:
        44 bytes for Ed25519, null for other curves
      • getParams

        public EdDSAParameterSpec getParams()
        Specified by:
        getParams in interface EdDSAKey
        Returns:
        a parameter specification representing the EdDSA domain parameters for the key.
      • getAbyte

        public byte[] getAbyte()
      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
