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();

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`.

setKeyType

Added in API level 19
Deprecated in API level 23

fun setKeyType(keyType: String): KeyPairGeneratorSpec.Builder

Deprecated: Deprecated in Java.

Sets the type of key pair (e.g., EC, RSA) of the key pair to be generated. See KeyProperties.KEY_ALGORITHM constants.

Parameters

keyType String: This value cannot be null. Value is android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_RSA, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_EC, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties.KEY_ALGORITHM_XDH, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_AES, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA1, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA224, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA256, android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA384, or android.security.keystore.KeyProperties#KEY_ALGORITHM_HMAC_SHA512
