BadPaddingException	This exception is thrown when a particular padding mechanism is expected for the input data but the data is not padded properly.
CRLException	CRL (Certificate Revocation List) Exception.
CertPathBuilderException	An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when building a certification path with a `CertPathBuilder`.
CertPathValidatorException	An exception indicating one of a variety of problems encountered when validating a certification path.
CertStoreException	An exception indicating one of a variety of problems retrieving certificates and CRLs from a `CertStore`.
CertificateException	This exception indicates one of a variety of certificate problems.
DigestException	This is the generic Message Digest exception.
ExemptionMechanismException	This is the generic ExemptionMechanism exception.
IllegalBlockSizeException	This exception is thrown when the length of data provided to a block cipher is incorrect, i.
InvalidAlgorithmParameterException	This is the exception for invalid or inappropriate algorithm parameters.
InvalidKeySpecException	This is the exception for invalid key specifications.
InvalidParameterSpecException	This is the exception for invalid parameter specifications.
KeyException	This is the basic key exception.
KeyStoreException	This is the generic KeyStore exception.
LoginException	This is the basic login exception.
NoSuchAlgorithmException	This exception is thrown when a particular cryptographic algorithm is requested but is not available in the environment.
NoSuchPaddingException	This exception is thrown when a particular padding mechanism is requested but is not available in the environment.
NoSuchProviderException	This exception is thrown when a particular security provider is requested but is not available in the environment.
ShortBufferException	This exception is thrown when an output buffer provided by the user is too short to hold the operation result.
SignatureException	This is the generic Signature exception.
UnrecoverableEntryException	This exception is thrown if an entry in the keystore cannot be recovered.

Known Indirect Subclasses

AEADBadTagException, CertificateEncodingException, CertificateExpiredException, CertificateNotYetValidException, CertificateParsingException, CertificateRevokedException, InvalidKeyException, KeyExpiredException, KeyManagementException, KeyNotYetValidException, KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException, UnrecoverableKeyException, and 2 others.

AEADBadTagException	This exception is thrown when a `Cipher` operating in an AEAD mode (such as GCM/CCM) is unable to verify the supplied authentication tag.
CertificateEncodingException	Certificate Encoding Exception.
CertificateExpiredException	Certificate Expired Exception.
CertificateNotYetValidException	Certificate is not yet valid exception.
CertificateParsingException	Certificate Parsing Exception.
CertificateRevokedException	An exception that indicates an X.
InvalidKeyException	This is the exception for invalid Keys (invalid encoding, wrong length, uninitialized, etc).
KeyExpiredException	Indicates that a cryptographic operation failed because the employed key's validity end date is in the past.
KeyManagementException	This is the general key management exception for all operations dealing with key management.
KeyNotYetValidException	Indicates that a cryptographic operation failed because the employed key's validity start date is in the future.
KeyPermanentlyInvalidatedException	Indicates that the key can no longer be used because it has been permanently invalidated.
UnrecoverableKeyException	This exception is thrown if a key in the keystore cannot be recovered.
UserNotAuthenticatedException	Indicates that a cryptographic operation could not be performed because the user has not been authenticated recently enough.
UserPresenceUnavailableException	Indicates the condition that a proof of user-presence was requested but this proof was not presented.

The GeneralSecurityException class is a generic security exception class that provides type safety for all the security-related exception classes that extend from it.

Summary

Public constructors
`GeneralSecurityException()` Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with no detail message.
`GeneralSecurityException(msg: String!)` Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message.
`GeneralSecurityException(message: String!, cause: Throwable!)` Creates a `GeneralSecurityException` with the specified detail message and cause.
`GeneralSecurityException(cause: Throwable!)` Creates a `GeneralSecurityException` with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`).

GeneralSecurityException

Added in API level 1

GeneralSecurityException()

Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with no detail message.

GeneralSecurityException

Added in API level 1

GeneralSecurityException(msg: String!)

Constructs a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message. A detail message is a String that describes this particular exception.

Parameters
`msg`	String!: the detail message.

GeneralSecurityException

Added in API level 1

GeneralSecurityException(
    message: String!, 
    cause: Throwable!)

Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified detail message and cause.

Parameters
`message`	String!: the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getMessage()` method).
`cause`	Throwable!: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

GeneralSecurityException

Added in API level 1

GeneralSecurityException(cause: Throwable!)

Creates a GeneralSecurityException with the specified cause and a detail message of (cause==null ? null : cause.toString()) (which typically contains the class and detail message of cause).

Parameters
`cause`	Throwable!: the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
