Description
Interface Summary | |
Certificate | Deprecated. A new certificate handling package is created in JDK1.2. |
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. |

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, |
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 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.
