java.security.Key

Packages that use Key
java.security Provides the classes and interfaces for the security framework. 
java.security.interfaces Provides interfaces for generating RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adleman AsymmetricCipher algorithm) keys as defined in the RSA Laboratory Technical Note PKCS#1, and DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) keys as defined in NIST's FIPS-186. 
javax.crypto Provides the classes and interfaces for cryptographic operations. 
javax.crypto.interfaces Provides interfaces for Diffie-Hellman keys as defined in RSA Laboratories' PKCS #3. 
javax.crypto.spec Provides classes and interfaces for key specifications and algorithm parameter specifications. 
javax.security.auth.kerberos This package contains utility classes related to the Kerberos network authentication protocol.
