DiffieHellman Private Key and Public Key Pair Sample

This section provides a tutorial example on how to run JcaKeyPair.java to generate a DiffieHellman private key and public key pair sample. Keys are stored PKCS#8 and X.509 encoding formats.

Now let's see the private key and public key generated by the DiffieHellman algorithm:

java -cp . JcaKeyPair 512 diff DiffieHellman

KeyPairGenerator Object Info:
Algorithm = DiffieHellman
Provider = SunJCE version 1.5
Key Size = 512
toString = java.security.KeyPairGenerator$Delegate@66848c

Private Key Info:
Algorithm = DH
Saved File = diff.pri
Size = 228
Format = PKCS#8
toString = SunJCE Diffie-Hellman Private Key:
