Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

The interfaces in the
javax.crypto.interfaces package define the public
methods that must be supported by various types of encryption keys.
The "DH" interfaces respresent
Diffie-Hellman public/private key pairs used in the Diffie-Hellman
key-agreement protocol. The "PBE"
iterface is for Password-Based Encryption. These interfaces are
typically of interest only to programmers who are implementing a
cryptographic provider or who want to implement cryptographic
algorithms themselves. Use of this package requires basic familiarity
with the encryption algorithms and the mathematics that underlie
them. Note that the javax.crypto.spec package
contains classes that provide algorithm-specific details about
encryption keys.
