PemPrivateKey (Netty API Reference (4.0.56.Final))

java.lang.Object
- io.netty.util.AbstractReferenceCounted
- - io.netty.handler.ssl.PemPrivateKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

ReferenceCounted, java.io.Serializable, java.security.Key, java.security.PrivateKey, javax.security.auth.Destroyable
```
public final class PemPrivateKey
extends AbstractReferenceCounted
implements java.security.PrivateKey
```
This is a special purpose implementation of a PrivateKey which allows the user to pass PEM/PKCS#8 encoded key material straight into OpenSslContext without having to parse and re-encode bytes in Java land. All methods other than what's implemented in PemEncoded and Destroyable throw UnsupportedOperationExceptions.

See Also:

PemEncoded, OpenSslContext, valueOf(byte[]), valueOf(ByteBuf), Serialized Form

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`ByteBuf`	`content()` Return the data which is held by this `ByteBufHolder`.
`PemPrivateKey`	`copy()` Create a deep copy of this `ByteBufHolder`.
`protected void`	`deallocate()` Called once `AbstractReferenceCounted.refCnt()` is equals 0.
`void`	`destroy()` NOTE: This is a JDK8 interface/method.
`PemPrivateKey`	`duplicate()` Duplicate the `ByteBufHolder`.

`byte[]`	`getEncoded()`
`java.lang.String`	`getFormat()`
`boolean`	`isDestroyed()` NOTE: This is a JDK8 interface/method.
`boolean`	`isSensitive()` Returns `true` if the PEM encoded value is considered sensitive information such as a private key.
`PemPrivateKey`	`retain()` Increases the reference count by `1`.
`PemPrivateKey`	`retain(int increment)` Increases the reference count by the specified `increment`.
`static PemPrivateKey`	`valueOf(byte[] key)` Creates a `PemPrivateKey` from raw `byte[]`.

- Method Detail
  - valueOf
```
public static PemPrivateKey valueOf(byte[] key)
```
    Creates a PemPrivateKey from raw byte[]. ATTENTION: It's assumed that the given argument is a PEM/PKCS#8 encoded value. No input validation is performed to validate it.
  - valueOf
```
public static PemPrivateKey valueOf(ByteBuf key)
```
    Creates a PemPrivateKey from raw ByteBuf. ATTENTION: It's assumed that the given argument is a PEM/PKCS#8 encoded value. No input validation is performed to validate it.
  - isSensitive
```
public boolean isSensitive()
```
    Returns true if the PEM encoded value is considered sensitive information such as a private key.
  - content
```
public ByteBuf content()
```
    Description copied from interface: ByteBufHolder
    
    Return the data which is held by this ByteBufHolder.
  - copy
```
public PemPrivateKey copy()
```
    Description copied from interface: ByteBufHolder
    
    Create a deep copy of this ByteBufHolder.
  - duplicate
```
public PemPrivateKey duplicate()
```
    Description copied from interface: ByteBufHolder
    
    Duplicate the ByteBufHolder. Be aware that this will not automatically call ByteBufHolder.retain().
  - retain
```
public PemPrivateKey retain()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReferenceCounted
    
    Increases the reference count by 1.
    
    Specified by:
    
    retain in interface ReferenceCounted
    
    Overrides:
    
    retain in class AbstractReferenceCounted
  - retain
```
public PemPrivateKey retain(int increment)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReferenceCounted
    
    Increases the reference count by the specified increment.
    
    Specified by:
    
    retain in interface ReferenceCounted
    
    Overrides:
    
    retain in class AbstractReferenceCounted
  - deallocate
```
protected void deallocate()
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractReferenceCounted
    
    Called once AbstractReferenceCounted.refCnt() is equals 0.
    
    Specified by:
    
    deallocate in class AbstractReferenceCounted
  - getEncoded
```
public byte[] getEncoded()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getEncoded in interface java.security.Key
  - getAlgorithm
```
public java.lang.String getAlgorithm()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getAlgorithm in interface java.security.Key
  - getFormat
```
public java.lang.String getFormat()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getFormat in interface java.security.Key
  - destroy
```
public void destroy()
```
    NOTE: This is a JDK8 interface/method. Due to backwards compatibility reasons it's not possible to slap the @Override annotation onto this method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    destroy in interface javax.security.auth.Destroyable
    
    See Also:
    
    Destroyable.destroy()
  - isDestroyed
```
public boolean isDestroyed()
```
    NOTE: This is a JDK8 interface/method. Due to backwards compatibility reasons it's not possible to slap the @Override annotation onto this method.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isDestroyed in interface javax.security.auth.Destroyable
