* A secret key for symmetric cryptography.

|
|
* <p>This interface defines no new methods over {@link
|
|
* java.security.Key}, but rather is intended to be a <i>marker
|
|
* interface</i> and to provide type safety for secret keys.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>The format of secret keys should be <code>RAW</code>, as returned
|
|
* by {@link java.security.Key#getFormat()}.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>Concrete implementations of this interface should override the
|
|
* {@link java.lang.Object#equals} and {@link java.lang.Object#hashCode}
|
|
* methods of {@link java.lang.Object} to use the actual key data rather
|
|
* than the identity-based default methods.</p>
