The specified chain is cloned before it is stored in the new PrivateKeyEntry object.

Parameters
privateKey PrivateKey: the PrivateKey

chain Certificate: an array of Certificates representing the certificate chain. The chain must be ordered and contain a Certificate at index 0 corresponding to the private key.

Throws
NullPointerException if privateKey or chain is null
IllegalArgumentException if the specified chain has a length of 0, if the specified chain does not contain Certificates of the same type, or if the PrivateKey algorithm does not match the algorithm of the PublicKey in the end entity Certificate (at index 0)
