Interface Summary | |
Certificate | Deprecated. A new certificate handling package is created in JDK1.2. This Certificate interface is entirely deprecated and is here to allow for a smooth transition to the new package. |
Guard | This interface represents a guard, which is an object that is used to protect access to another object. |
Key | The Key interface is the top-level interface for all keys. |
Principal | This interface represents the abstract notion of a principal, which can be used to represent any entity, such as an individual, a corporation, and a login id. |
PrivateKey | A private key. |
PrivilegedAction | A computation to be performed with privileges enabled. |
PrivilegedExceptionAction | A computation to be performed with privileges enabled, that throws one or more checked exceptions. |
PublicKey | A public key. |
Class Summary | |
AccessControlContext | An AccessControlContext is used to make system resource access decisions based on the context it encapsulates. |
AccessController | The AccessController class is used for three purposes: to decide whether an access to a critical system resource is to be allowed or denied, based on the security policy currently in effect, to mark code as being "privileged", thus affecting subsequent access determinations, and to obtain a "snapshot" of the current calling context so access-control decisions from a different context can be made with respect to the saved context. |
AlgorithmParameterGenerator | The AlgorithmParameterGenerator class is used to generate a
set of
parameters to be used with a certain algorithm. |
AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the AlgorithmParameterGenerator class, which
is used to generate a set of parameters to be used with a certain algorithm.
|
AlgorithmParameters | This class is used as an opaque representation of cryptographic parameters. |
AlgorithmParametersSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the AlgorithmParameters class, which is used to manage
algorithm parameters.
|
AllPermission | The AllPermission is a permission that implies all other permissions. |
BasicPermission | The BasicPermission class extends the Permission class, and can be used as the base class for permissions that want to follow the same naming convention as BasicPermission. |
CodeSource | This class extends the concept of a codebase to encapsulate not only the location (URL) but also the certificate(s) that were used to verify signed code originating from that location. |
DigestInputStream | A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream. |
DigestOutputStream | A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream. |
GuardedObject | A GuardedObject is an object that is used to protect access to another object. |
Identity | Deprecated. This class is no longer used. |
IdentityScope | Deprecated. This class is no longer used. |
KeyFactory | Key factories are used to convert keys (opaque
cryptographic keys of type Key ) into key specifications
(transparent representations of the underlying key material), and vice
versa.
|
KeyFactorySpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the KeyFactory class.
|
KeyPair | This class is a simple holder for a key pair (a public key and a private key). |
KeyPairGenerator | The KeyPairGenerator class is used to generate pairs of public and private keys. |
KeyPairGeneratorSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the KeyPairGenerator class, which is used to generate
pairs of public and private keys.
|
KeyStore | This class represents an in-memory collection of keys and certificates. |
KeyStoreSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the KeyStore class.
|
MessageDigest | This MessageDigest class provides applications the functionality of a message digest algorithm, such as MD5 or SHA. Message digests are secure one-way hash functions that take arbitrary-sized data and output a fixed-length hash value. |
MessageDigestSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the MessageDigest class, which provides the functionality
of a message digest algorithm, such as MD5 or SHA. Message digests are
secure one-way hash functions that take arbitrary-sized data and output a
fixed-length hash value.
|
Permission | Abstract class for representing access to a system resource. |
PermissionCollection | Abstract class representing a collection of Permission objects. |
Permissions | This class represents a heterogeneous collection of Permissions. |
Policy | This is an abstract class for representing the system security policy for a Java application environment (specifying which permissions are available for code from various sources). |
ProtectionDomain | This ProtectionDomain class encapulates the characteristics of a domain, which encloses a set of classes whose instances are granted the same set of permissions. |
Provider | This class represents a "provider" for the Java Security API, where a provider implements some or all parts of Java Security, including: Algorithms (such as DSA, RSA, MD5 or SHA-1). |
SecureClassLoader | This class extends ClassLoader with additional support for defining classes with an associated code source and permissions which are retrieved by the system policy by default. |
SecureRandom | This class provides a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). |
SecureRandomSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the SecureRandom class.
|
Security | This class centralizes all security properties and common security methods. |
SecurityPermission | This class is for security permissions. |
Signature | This Signature class is used to provide applications the functionality of a digital signature algorithm. |
SignatureSpi | This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the Signature class, which is used to provide the
functionality of a digital signature algorithm. |
SignedObject | SignedObject is a class for the purpose of creating authentic runtime objects whose integrity cannot be compromised without being detected. |
Signer | Deprecated. This class is no longer used. |
UnresolvedPermission | The UnresolvedPermission class is used to hold Permissions that were "unresolved" when the Policy was initialized. |
Exception Summary | |
AccessControlException | This exception is thrown by the AccessController to indicate that a requested access (to a critical system resource such as the file system or the network) is denied. |
DigestException | This is the generic Message Digest exception. |
GeneralSecurityException | This is the general security exception class, which serves to group all
the exception classes of the java.security package that
extend from it.
|
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException | This is the exception for invalid or inappropriate algorithm parameters. |
InvalidKeyException | This is the exception for invalid Keys (invalid encoding, wrong length, uninitialized, etc). |
InvalidParameterException | This exception is thrown when an invalid parameter is passed to a method. |
KeyException | This is the basic key exception. |
KeyManagementException | This is the general key management exception, for all operations dealing with key management. |
KeyStoreException | This is the generic KeyStore exception. |
NoSuchAlgorithmException | This exception is thrown when a particular cryptographic algorithm is requested but is not available in the environment. |
NoSuchProviderException | This exception is thrown when a particular security provider is requested but is not available in the environment. |
PrivilegedActionException | This exception is thrown by
doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction) and
doPrivileged(PrivilegedExceptionAction,
AccessControlContext context) to indicate
that the action being performed threw a checked exception. |
ProviderException | A runtime exception for Provider exceptions (such as misconfiguration errors), which may be subclassed by Providers to throw specialized, provider-specific runtime errors. |
SignatureException | This is the generic Signature exception. |
UnrecoverableKeyException | This exception is thrown if a key in the keystore cannot be recovered. |
Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework. This includes classes that implement an easily configurable, fine-grained access control security architecture. This package also supports the generation and storage of cryptographic public key pairs, as well as a number of exportable cryptographic operations including those for message digest and signature generation. Finally, this package provides classes that support signed/guarded objects and secure random number generation. Many of the classes provided in this package (the cryptographic and secure random number generator classes in particular) are provider-based. The class itself defines a programming interface to which applications may write. The implementations themselves may then be written by independent third-party vendors and plugged in seamlessly as needed. Therefore application developers may take advantage of any number of provider-based implementations without having to add or rewrite code.
