SshException

getAlgorithm

String getAlgorithm()

Get the algorithm name for the public key.

Specified by:

getAlgorithm in interface SecureComponent

Returns:

the algorithm name, for example "ssh-dss"

getSigningAlgorithm

String getSigningAlgorithm()

The algorithm name expected to be encoded in SSH signatures

getEncodingAlgorithm

String getEncodingAlgorithm()

getBitLength

int getBitLength()

Get the bit length of the public key

Returns:

the bit length of the public key

getEncoded

byte[] getEncoded()
           throws SshException
