  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    PrivateKey

    @Immutable
    public final class EcdsaPrivateKey
    extends SignaturePrivateKey
    Represents a key for computing ECDSA signatures.

    ECDSA is defined in http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.186-4.pdf, section 6.

      • equalsKey

        public boolean equalsKey​(Key o)
        Description copied from class: Key
        Returns true if the key is guaranteed to be equal to other.

        Implementations are required to do this in constant time.

        Note: this is allowed to return false even if two keys are guaranteed to represent the same function, but are represented differently. For example, a key is allowed to internally store the number of zero-bytes used as padding when a large number is represented as a byte array, and use this in the comparison.

        Note: Tink Key objects should typically not override hashCode (because it could risk leaking key material). Hence, they typically also should not override equals.
