Name

KeyStore.PasswordProtection

Synopsis

This class is a KeyStore.ProtectionParameter implementation that wraps a password specified as a char[ ]. Note that getPassword( ) returns a reference to the internal array, not a clone of it. The destroy( ) method zeros out this array.

public static class KeyStore.PasswordProtection 
        implements javax.security.auth.Destroyable, KeyStore.ProtectionParameter {

     public PasswordProtection(char[ ] password);  
// Public Instance Methods
     public char[ ] getPassword( );           synchronized
                  // Methods Implementing Destroyable
     public void destroy( ) 
        throws javax.security.auth.DestroyFailedException;                     synchronized
     public boolean isDestroyed( );           synchronized
