  • Method Details

    • setPassphrase

      boolean setPassphrase(byte[] passphrase) throws JSchException
      Decrypts this identity with the specified pass-phrase.
      Parameters:
      passphrase - the pass-phrase for this identity.
      Returns:
      true if the decryption is succeeded or this identity is not cyphered.
      Throws:
      JSchException

    • getPublicKeyBlob

      byte[] getPublicKeyBlob()
      Returns the public-key blob.
      Returns:
      the public-key blob

    • getSignature

      byte[] getSignature(byte[] data)
      Signs on data with this identity, and returns the result.
      Parameters:
      data - data to be signed
      Returns:
      the signature

    • getSignature

      byte[] getSignature(byte[] data, String alg)
      Signs on data with this identity, and returns the result.
