Description
| Interface Summary | |
| Certificate | Deprecated. A new certificate handling package is created in the Java 2 platform. |
| DomainCombiner | A DomainCombiner provides a means to dynamically

| 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 access control operations and decisions. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 encapsulates the characteristics of a domain, which encloses a set of classes whose instances are granted a set of permissions when being executed on behalf of a given set of Principals. |
| Provider | This class represents a "provider" for the Java Security API, where a provider implements some or all parts of Java Security. |
| 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 | The GeneralSecurityException class is a generic
security exception class that provides type safety for all the
security-related exception classes 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, designed for use by the JCA/JCE engine classes, 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.
