public void saveSecretKey(String alias,
 @NonNull
 @NonNull SecretKey key,
 char @NonNull [] keyPassword)
                   throws KeyStoreHelperException

Saves the given key to the key store. Notes:

• The key is referenced by the alias and is individually protected via the given keyPassword.
• If the key store file does not exist, this method attempts to create a new key store to the defined keyStorePath prior to saving the key.

Parameters:

alias - the alias to store the key as

key - the key itself

keyPassword - the password that is specific to the key

Throws:

KeyStoreHelperException - if an error occurred while saving the key to the key store

getSecretKey

public SecretKey getSecretKey(String alias,
 char @NonNull [] keyPassword)
                       throws KeyStoreHelperException

Gets the key with the given alias and associated keyPassword from the key store. Notes:

• If the key store file does not exist, then this method attempts to create a new key store to the defined keyStorePath. In this case, null will be returned as the given alias references no existing key.
• If the key does not exist for the given alias, then null will be returned.

Parameters:

alias - the alias for the key

keyPassword - the associated password that protects the key

Returns:

the key, or null

Throws:
