KeyFactory

Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque cryptographic keys of type Key) into key specifications (transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice versa.

KeyFactorySpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyFactory class.

This class is a simple holder for a key pair (a public key and a private key).

KeyPairGenerator

The KeyPairGenerator class is used to generate pairs of public and private keys.

KeyPairGeneratorSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyPairGenerator class, which is used to generate pairs of public and private keys.

KeyRep

Standardized representation for serialized Key objects.

KeyStore

This class represents a storage facility for cryptographic keys and certificates.

KeyStore.Builder

A description of a to-be-instantiated KeyStore object.

KeyStore.CallbackHandlerProtection

A ProtectionParameter encapsulating a CallbackHandler.

KeyStore.PasswordProtection

A password-based implementation of ProtectionParameter.

KeyStore.PrivateKeyEntry

A KeyStore entry that holds a PrivateKey and corresponding certificate chain.

KeyStore.SecretKeyEntry

A KeyStore entry that holds a SecretKey.

KeyStore.TrustedCertificateEntry

A KeyStore entry that holds a trustedCertificate.

KeyStoreSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyStore class.

MessageDigest

This MessageDigest class provides applications the functionality of a message digest algorithm, such as SHA-1 or SHA-256.

MessageDigestSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the MessageDigest class, which provides the functionality of a message digest algorithm, such as MD5 or SHA.

Permission

Abstract class for representing access to a system resource.

PermissionCollection

Abstract class representing a collection of Permission objects.

Permissions

This class represents a heterogeneous collection of Permissions.

PKCS12Attribute

An attribute associated with a PKCS12 keystore entry.

Policy

A Policy object is responsible for determining whether code executing in the Java runtime environment has permission to perform a security-sensitive operation.

PolicySpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the Policy class.

ProtectionDomain

The ProtectionDomain class encapsulates the characteristics of a domain, which encloses a set of classes whose instances are granted a set of permissions when being executed on behalf of a given set of Principals.

Provider

This class represents a "provider" for the Java Security API, where a provider implements some or all parts of Java Security.

Provider.Service

The description of a security service.

SecureClassLoader

This class extends ClassLoader with additional support for defining classes with an associated code source and permissions which are retrieved by the system policy by default.

SecureRandom

This class provides a cryptographically strong random number generator (RNG).

SecureRandomSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the SecureRandom class.

Security

This class centralizes all security properties and common security methods.

SecurityPermission

This class is for security permissions.

Signature

The Signature class is used to provide applications the functionality of a digital signature algorithm.

SignatureSpi

This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the Signature class, which is used to provide the functionality of a digital signature algorithm.

SignedObject

SignedObject is a class for the purpose of creating authentic runtime objects whose integrity cannot be compromised without being detected.

Signer

Deprecated.

Timestamp

This class encapsulates information about a signed timestamp.

UnresolvedPermission

The UnresolvedPermission class is used to hold Permissions that were "unresolved" when the Policy was initialized.

URIParameter

A parameter that contains a URI pointing to data intended for a PolicySpi or ConfigurationSpi implementation.
