## Uses of Interface
java.security.Key

Packages that use Key
java.security | Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework.
java.security.interfaces | Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186.

Uses of Key in java.security

Subinterfaces of Key in java.security
`interface` | `PrivateKey` A private key.
`interface` | `PublicKey` A public key.

Methods in java.security that return Key
`Key` | `KeyFactory.translateKey(Key key)` Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
`Key` | `KeyStore.getKey(String alias, char[] password)` Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it.
`abstract Key` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineGetKey(String alias, char[] password)` Returns the key associated with the given alias, using the given password to recover it.
`protected abstract Key` | `KeyFactorySpi.engineTranslateKey(Key key)` Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.

Methods in java.security with parameters of type Key
`KeySpec` | `KeyFactory.getKeySpec(Key key, Class keySpec)` Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object.
`Key` | `KeyFactory.translateKey(Key key)` Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.
`void` | `KeyStore.setKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.
`abstract void` | `KeyStoreSpi.engineSetKeyEntry(String alias, Key key, char[] password, Certificate[] chain)` Assigns the given key to the given alias, protecting it with the given password.
`protected abstract KeySpec` | `KeyFactorySpi.engineGetKeySpec(Key key, Class keySpec)` Returns a specification (key material) of the given key object.
`protected abstract Key` | `KeyFactorySpi.engineTranslateKey(Key key)` Translates a key object, whose provider may be unknown or potentially untrusted, into a corresponding key object of this key factory.

Uses of Key in java.security.interfaces

Subinterfaces of Key in java.security.interfaces
`interface` | `DSAPrivateKey` The standard interface to a DSA private key.
`interface` | `DSAPublicKey` The interface to a DSA public key.
`interface` | `RSAPrivateCrtKey` The interface to an RSA private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 standard, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.
`interface` | `RSAPrivateKey` The interface to an RSA private key.
`interface` | `RSAPublicKey` The interface to an RSA public key.
