java.lang.Object | +--javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec
This class specifies a secret key in a provider-independent fashion.
It can be used to construct a SecretKey from a byte array,
without having to go through a (provider-based)
SecretKeyFactory.
This class is only useful for raw secret keys that can be represented as a byte array and have no key parameters associated with them, e.g., DES or Triple DES keys.

| Constructor Detail |
public SecretKeySpec(byte[] key,
java.lang.String algorithm)
This constructor does not check if the given bytes indeed specify a
secret key of the specified algorithm. For example, if the algorithm is
DES, this constructor does not check if key is 8 bytes
long, and also does not check for weak or semi-weak keys.
In order for those checks to be performed, an algorithm-specific
key specification class (in this case:
DESKeySpec)
should be used.

public SecretKeySpec(byte[] key,
int offset,
int len,
java.lang.String algorithm)
len bytes of key, starting at
offset inclusive.
The bytes that constitute the secret key are those between key[offset] and
key[offset+len-1] inclusive.
This constructor does not check if the given bytes indeed specify a
secret key of the specified algorithm. For example, if the algorithm is
DES, this constructor does not check if key is 8 bytes
long, and also does not check for weak or semi-weak keys.
In order for those checks to be performed, an algorithm-specific key
specification class (in this case: DESKeySpec)
must be used.
