Method Summary

int	getBitLength() Get the bit length of the public key
byte[]	getEncoded() Encode the public key into a blob of binary data, the encoded result will be passed into init to recreate the key.
String	getFingerprint() Return an SSH fingerprint of the public key
String	getName() Get the algorithm name for the public key.
void	init(byte[] blob, int start, int len) Initialize the public key from a blob of binary data.
boolean	verifySignature(byte[] signature, byte[] data) Verify the signature.

Method Detail

init

void init(byte[] blob,
          int start,
          int len)
          throws SshException

Initialize the public key from a blob of binary data.

Parameters:

blob -

start -

len -

Throws:

SshException

getName

String getName()

Get the algorithm name for the public key.

Specified by:

getName in interface SshComponent

Returns:

the algorithm name, for example "ssh-dss"

getBitLength

int getBitLength()

Get the bit length of the public key

Returns:

the bit length of the public key

getEncoded

byte[] getEncoded()
                  throws SshException

Encode the public key into a blob of binary data, the encoded result will be passed into init to recreate the key.

Returns:

an encoded byte array

Throws:

SshException

getFingerprint

String getFingerprint()
                      throws SshException

Return an SSH fingerprint of the public key

Returns:

String

Throws:

SshException

verifySignature

boolean verifySignature(byte[] signature,
                        byte[] data)
                        throws SshException

Verify the signature.

Parameters:

signature -

data -

Returns:

true if the signature was produced by the corresponding private key that owns this public key, otherwise false.

Throws:

SshException
