getEncoded
public byte[] getEncoded()
Returns the encoded key.- Returns:
- the encoded key. Returns a new array each time this method is called.
-
getFormat
public abstract String getFormat()
Returns the name of the encoding format associated with this key specification.If the opaque representation of a key (see
Key) can be transformed (seeKeyFactory) into this key specification (or a subclass of it),getFormatcalled on the opaque key returns the same value as thegetFormatmethod of this key specification.- Returns:
- a string representation of the encoding format.
