| 29 | + * A secret (symmetric) key. | |
| 30 | + * | |
| 31 | + * <p>This interface contains no methods or constants. | |
| 32 | + * Its only purpose is to group (and provide type safety for) secret keys. | |
| 33 | + * | |
| 34 | + * <p>Provider implementations of this interface must overwrite the | |
| 35 | + * <code>equals</code> and <code>hashCode</code> methods inherited from | |
| 36 | + * <code>java.lang.Object</code>, so that secret keys are compared based on | |
| 37 | + * their underlying key material and not based on reference. | |
| 38 | + * | |
| 39 | + * <p>Keys that implement this interface return the string <code>RAW</code> | |
| 40 | + * as their encoding format (see <code>getFormat</code>), and return the | |
| 41 | + * raw key bytes as the result of a <code>getEncoded</code> method call. (The | |
| 42 | + * <code>getFormat</code> and <code>getEncoded</code> methods are inherited | |
| 43 | + * from the <code>java.security.Key</code> parent interface.) | |
