Uses of Interface
java.security.PublicKey

Packages that use PublicKey

java.security	Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
java.security.cert	Provides classes and interfaces for parsing and managing certificates.
java.security.interfaces	Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

Uses of PublicKey in java.security

Methods in java.security that return PublicKey

PublicKey	KeyFactory.generatePublic(KeySpec keySpec) Generates a public key object from the provided key specification (key material).
PublicKey	Identity.getPublicKey() Deprecated. Returns this identity's public key.
PublicKey	KeyPair.getPublic() Returns a reference to the public key component of this key pair.
PublicKey	Certificate.getPublicKey() Deprecated. Returns the key of the principal-key pair being guaranteed by the guarantor.
protected abstract PublicKey	KeyFactorySpi.engineGeneratePublic(KeySpec keySpec) Generates a public key object from the provided key specification (key material).

Methods in java.security with parameters of type PublicKey

void	Identity.setPublicKey(PublicKey key) Deprecated. Sets this identity's public key.
protected abstract void	SignatureSpi.engineInitVerify(PublicKey publicKey) Initializes this signature object with the specified public key for verification operations.
boolean	SignedObject.verify(PublicKey verificationKey, Signature verificationEngine) Verifies that the signature in this SignedObject is the valid signature for the object stored inside, with the given verification key, using the designated verification engine.
void	Signature.initVerify(PublicKey publicKey) Initializes this object for verification.
abstract Identity	IdentityScope.getIdentity(PublicKey key) Deprecated. Retrieves the identity with the specified public key.

Constructors in java.security with parameters of type PublicKey

KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey, PrivateKey privateKey)
Constructs a key pair from the given public key and private key.

Uses of PublicKey in java.security.cert

Methods in java.security.cert that return PublicKey

abstract PublicKey

Certificate.getPublicKey() Gets the public key from this certificate.

Methods in java.security.cert with parameters of type PublicKey

abstract void	Certificate.verify(PublicKey key) Verifies that this certificate was signed using the private key that corresponds to the specified public key.
abstract void	Certificate.verify(PublicKey key, String sigProvider) Verifies that this certificate was signed using the private key that corresponds to the specified public key.
abstract void	X509CRL.verify(PublicKey key) Verifies that this CRL was signed using the private key that corresponds to the given public key.
abstract void	X509CRL.verify(PublicKey key, String sigProvider) Verifies that this CRL was signed using the private key that corresponds to the given public key.
