public interface DSAPrivateKey
implements DSAKey, PrivateKey

java.security.interfaces.DSAPrivateKey



The standard interface to a DSA private key. DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) is defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

Summary

Constants

long serialVersionUID

This constant was deprecated in API level 35. A serialVersionUID field in an interface is ineffectual. Do not use; no replacement.

Inherited constants

From interface java.security.PrivateKey

long serialVersionUID

This constant was deprecated in API level 34. A serialVersionUID field in an interface is ineffectual. Do not use; no replacement.

From interface java.security.Key

long serialVersionUID

This constant was deprecated in API level 34. A serialVersionUID field in an interface is ineffectual. Do not use; no replacement.

Public methods

abstract BigInteger getX()
