Interface EdECPrivateKey
- All Superinterfaces:
- AsymmetricKey,- Destroyable,- EdECKey,- Key,- PrivateKey,- Serializable
An interface for an elliptic curve private key as defined by
 RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve
 Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). These keys are distinct from the
 keys represented by 
ECPrivateKey, and they are intended for use
 with algorithms based on RFC 8032 such as the EdDSA Signature
 algorithm.
 An Edwards-Curve private key is a bit string. This interface only supports bit string lengths that are a multiple of 8, and the key is represented using a byte array.

Method Details- 
getBytesOptional<byte[]> getBytes()Get a copy of the byte array representing the private key. This method may return an emptyOptionalif the implementation is not willing to produce the private key value.- Returns:
- an Optionalcontaining the private key byte array. If the key is not available, then an emptyOptional.
 
- 
getParamsReturns the parameters associated with this key. The parameters are optional and may be either explicitly specified or implicitly created during key pair generation.- Specified by:
- getParamsin interface- AsymmetricKey
- Specified by:
- getParamsin interface- EdECKey
- Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation returns null.
- Returns:
- the associated parameters, may be null
