Interface Identity

public interface Identity

Method Summary

void	clear() Disposes internally allocated data, like byte array for the private key.
boolean	decrypt() Deprecated. The decryption should be done automatically in #setPassphase(byte[] passphrase)
java.lang.String	getAlgName() Returns the name of the key algorithm.
java.lang.String	getName() Returns the name of this identity.
byte[]	getPublicKeyBlob() Returns the public-key blob.
byte[]	getSignature(byte[] data) Signs on data with this identity, and returns the result.
boolean	isEncrypted() Returns true if this identity is cyphered.
boolean	setPassphrase(byte[] passphrase) Decrypts this identity with the specified pass-phrase.

Method Detail

setPassphrase

boolean setPassphrase(byte[] passphrase)
                      throws JSchException

Decrypts this identity with the specified pass-phrase.

Parameters:

passphrase - the pass-phrase for this identity.

Returns:

true if the decryption is succeeded or this identity is not cyphered.

Throws:

JSchException

getPublicKeyBlob

byte[] getPublicKeyBlob()

Returns the public-key blob.

Returns:

the public-key blob

getSignature

byte[] getSignature(byte[] data)

Signs on data with this identity, and returns the result.

Parameters:

data - data to be signed

Returns:

the signature

decrypt
