## Uses of Interface
java.security.PrivateKey

Packages that use PrivateKey
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.
javax.crypto.interfaces | Provides interfaces for Diffie-Hellman keys as defined in RSA Laboratories' PKCS #3.
javax.net.ssl | Provides classes for the secure socket package.
javax.security.auth.x500 | This package contains the classes that should be used to store X500 Principal and X500 Private Crendentials in a Subject.

Uses of PrivateKey in java.security

Methods in java.security that return PrivateKey
`PrivateKey` | `KeyPair.getPrivate()` Returns a reference to the private key component of this key pair.
`PrivateKey` | `Signer.getPrivateKey()` Deprecated. Returns this signer's private key.
`protected abstract PrivateKey` | `KeyFactorySpi.engineGeneratePrivate(KeySpec keySpec)` Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).
`PrivateKey` | `KeyFactory.generatePrivate(KeySpec keySpec)` Generates a private key object from the provided key specification (key material).

Methods in java.security with parameters of type PrivateKey
`protected abstract void` | `SignatureSpi.engineInitSign(PrivateKey privateKey)` Initializes this signature object with the specified private key for signing operations.
`protected void` | `SignatureSpi.engineInitSign(PrivateKey privateKey, SecureRandom random)` Initializes this signature object with the specified private key and source of randomness for signing operations.
`void` | `Signature.initSign(PrivateKey privateKey)` Initialize this object for signing.
`void` | `Signature.initSign(PrivateKey privateKey, SecureRandom random)` Initialize this object for signing.

Constructors in java.security with parameters of type PrivateKey
`SignedObject(Serializable object, PrivateKey signingKey, Signature signingEngine)` Constructs a SignedObject from any Serializable object.
`KeyPair(PublicKey publicKey, PrivateKey privateKey)` Constructs a key pair from the given public key and private key.

Uses of PrivateKey in java.security.interfaces

Subinterfaces of PrivateKey in java.security.interfaces
`interface` | `DSAPrivateKey` The standard interface to a DSA private key.
`interface` | `RSAMultiPrimePrivateCrtKey` The interface to an RSA multi-prime private key, as defined in the PKCS#1 v2.1, using the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) information values.
`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.

Uses of PrivateKey in javax.crypto.interfaces

Subinterfaces of PrivateKey in javax.crypto.interfaces
`interface` | `DHPrivateKey` The interface to a Diffie-Hellman private key.

Uses of PrivateKey in javax.net.ssl

Methods in javax.net.ssl that return PrivateKey
`PrivateKey` | `X509KeyManager.getPrivateKey(String alias)` Returns the key associated with the given alias.

Uses of PrivateKey in javax.security.auth.x500

Methods in javax.security.auth.x500 that return PrivateKey
`PrivateKey` | `X500PrivateCredential.getPrivateKey()` Returns the PrivateKey.

Constructors in javax.security.auth.x500 with parameters of type PrivateKey
`X500PrivateCredential(X509Certificate cert, PrivateKey key)` Creates an X500PrivateCredential that associates an X.509 certificate, a private key and the KeyStore alias.
`X500PrivateCredential(X509Certificate cert, PrivateKey key, String alias)` Creates an X500PrivateCredential that associates an X.509 certificate, a private key and the KeyStore alias.
