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

This class is a simple container for a PublicKey and a PrivateKey object. Because a KeyPair contains an unprotected private key, it must be used with as much caution as a PrivateKey object.

public final class 
KeyPair  implements Serializable {
// Public Constructors
public 
KeyPair (PublicKey 
publicKey , PrivateKey 
privateKey );  
// Public Instance Methods
public PrivateKey 
getPrivate ( );  
public PublicKey 
getPublic ( );  
}
