Builder


class Builder
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.security.KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Builder class for KeyPairGeneratorSpec objects.

This will build a parameter spec for use with the Android KeyStore facility.

The required fields must be filled in with the builder.

Example:

Calendar start = Calendar.getInstance();
  Calendar end = Calendar.getInstance();
  end.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1);
 
  KeyPairGeneratorSpec spec =
          new KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder(mContext).setAlias("myKey")
                  .setSubject(new X500Principal("CN=myKey")).setSerialNumber(BigInteger.valueOf(1337))
                  .setStartDate(start.getTime()).setEndDate(end.getTime()).build();
  

Summary

Public constructors
Builder(context: Context)

Creates a new instance of the Builder with the given context.

Public methods
KeyPairGeneratorSpec

Builds the instance of the KeyPairGeneratorSpec.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder!

Sets the algorithm-specific key generation parameters.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setAlias(alias: String)

Sets the alias to be used to retrieve the key later from a java.security.KeyStore instance using the AndroidKeyStore provider.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Indicates that this key pair must be encrypted at rest.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setEndDate(endDate: Date)

Sets the end of the validity period for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setKeySize(keySize: Int)

Sets the key size for the keypair to be created.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setKeyType(keyType: String)

Sets the type of key pair (e.g.,

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setSerialNumber(serialNumber: BigInteger)

Sets the serial number used for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder
setStartDate(startDate: Date)

Sets the start of the validity period for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Sets the subject used for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

Public constructors

Builder

Added in API level 18
Builder(context: Context)

Creates a new instance of the Builder with the given context. The context passed in may be used to pop up some UI to ask the user to unlock or initialize the Android KeyStore facility.

Parameters
context Context: This value cannot be null.

Public methods

build

Added in API level 18
fun build(): KeyPairGeneratorSpec

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Builds the instance of the KeyPairGeneratorSpec.

Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec built instance of KeyPairGeneratorSpec This value cannot be null.
Exceptions
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException if a required field is missing

setAlgorithmParameterSpec

Added in API level 19
Deprecated in API level 23
fun setAlgorithmParameterSpec(spec: AlgorithmParameterSpec): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder!

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the algorithm-specific key generation parameters. For example, for RSA keys this may be an instance of java.security.spec.RSAKeyGenParameterSpec.

Parameters
spec AlgorithmParameterSpec: This value cannot be null.

setAlias

Added in API level 18
fun setAlias(alias: String): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the alias to be used to retrieve the key later from a java.security.KeyStore instance using the AndroidKeyStore provider.

Parameters
alias String: This value cannot be null.
Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setEncryptionRequired

Added in API level 18
fun setEncryptionRequired(): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Data at rest encryption is enabled by default. If extra binding to the lockscreen credential is desired, use KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder#setUserAuthenticationRequired(boolean). This flag will be ignored from Android S.

Indicates that this key pair must be encrypted at rest. This will protect the key pair with the secure lock screen credential (e.g., password, PIN, or pattern).

Note that this feature requires that the secure lock screen (e.g., password, PIN, pattern) is set up, otherwise key pair generation will fail. Moreover, this key pair will be deleted when the secure lock screen is disabled or reset (e.g., by the user or a Device Administrator). Finally, this key pair cannot be used until the user unlocks the secure lock screen after boot.

Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setEndDate

Added in API level 18
fun setEndDate(endDate: Date): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the end of the validity period for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

Parameters
endDate Date: This value cannot be null.
Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setKeySize

Added in API level 19
Deprecated in API level 23
fun setKeySize(keySize: Int): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the key size for the keypair to be created. For instance, for a key type of RSA this will set the modulus size and for a key type of EC it will select a curve with a matching field size.

Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSerialNumber

Added in API level 18
fun setSerialNumber(serialNumber: BigInteger): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the serial number used for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

Parameters
serialNumber BigInteger: This value cannot be null.
Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setStartDate

Added in API level 18
fun setStartDate(startDate: Date): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the start of the validity period for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

Parameters
startDate Date: This value cannot be null.
Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.

setSubject

Added in API level 18
fun setSubject(subject: X500Principal): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the subject used for the self-signed certificate of the generated key pair.

Parameters
subject X500Principal: This value cannot be null.
Return
KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder This value cannot be null.
