Description

This simple class encapsulates Kryptel key file.

Constructor BinaryKeyFile(String filePath)

public BinaryKeyFile(String filePath) throws Exception;

Loads a binary key from the specified file.

Constructor BinaryKeyFile(long time, String comment)

public BinaryKeyFile(long time, String comment) throws Exception;

Generates a new random binary key.

time

Set the key creation time to the specified value (milliseconds since 1970). The special value CURRENT_TIMESTAMP assigns the current system time; NO_TIMESTAMP creates a key with no timestamp assigned.

comment

Attaches a text description to the created key. This value may be null, which means no description. If the time argument is set to NO_TIMESTAMP, then this argument must be null.

GetKeyID

public UUID GetKeyID()

Returns the unique key ID. The new versions Kryptel 8+ or Silver Key 5+ completely ignore this ID.

GetKeyData

public byte [] GetKeyData()

Returns 512-byte long binary key.

GetKeyTimestamp

public long GetKeyTimestamp()

Returns the timestamp (milliseconds since 1970) associated with the key or NO_TIMESTAMP.

GetKeyComment

public String GetKeyComment()

Returns the text description associated with the key file or null if none.

Save

public void Save(String filePath) throws Exception;

Saves the binary key to the specified file (it is strongly recommended to use the standard .kf file extension).
