- All Superinterfaces:
Destroyable,EdECKey,Key,PrivateKey,Serializable
An interface for an elliptic curve private key as defined by
RFC 8032: Edwards-Curve
Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). These keys are distinct from the
keys represented by
ECPrivateKey, and they are intended for use
with algorithms based on RFC 8032 such as the EdDSA Signature
algorithm.
An Edwards-Curve private key is a bit string. This interface only supports bit string lengths that are a multiple of 8, and the key is represented using a byte array.

Method Details
-
getBytes
Optional<byte[]> getBytes()Get a copy of the byte array representing the private key. This method may return an emptyOptionalif the implementation is not willing to produce the private key value.- Returns:
- an
Optionalcontaining the private key byte array. If the key is not available, then an emptyOptional.
