Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	checkAESKey(AesKey aesKey)
boolean	checkPassword(java.lang.CharSequence password)
KeyCrypter	getKeyCrypter()	Returns the key crypter used by this key chain, or null if it's not encrypted.
EncryptableKeyChain	toDecrypted(java.lang.CharSequence password)	Decrypts the key chain with the given password.
EncryptableKeyChain	toDecrypted(AesKey aesKey)	Decrypt the key chain with the given AES key and whatever KeyCrypter is already set.
EncryptableKeyChain	toEncrypted(java.lang.CharSequence password)	Takes the given password, which should be strong, derives a key from it and then invokes toEncrypted(KeyCrypter, AesKey) with KeyCrypterScrypt as the crypter.
EncryptableKeyChain	toEncrypted(KeyCrypter keyCrypter, AesKey aesKey)	Returns a new keychain holding identical/cloned keys to this chain, but encrypted under the given key.

Method Detail

toEncrypted

EncryptableKeyChain toEncrypted(java.lang.CharSequence password)

Takes the given password, which should be strong, derives a key from it and then invokes toEncrypted(KeyCrypter, AesKey) with KeyCrypterScrypt as the crypter.

Returns:

The derived key, in case you wish to cache it for future use.

toEncrypted

EncryptableKeyChain toEncrypted(KeyCrypter keyCrypter,
                                AesKey aesKey)

Returns a new keychain holding identical/cloned keys to this chain, but encrypted under the given key. Old keys and keychains remain valid and so you should ensure you don't accidentally hold references to them.

toDecrypted

EncryptableKeyChain toDecrypted(java.lang.CharSequence password)

Decrypts the key chain with the given password. See toDecrypted(AesKey) for details.

toDecrypted

EncryptableKeyChain toDecrypted(AesKey aesKey)

Decrypt the key chain with the given AES key and whatever KeyCrypter is already set. Note that if you just want to spend money from an encrypted wallet, don't decrypt the whole thing first. Instead, set the SendRequest.aesKey field before asking the wallet to build the send.

Parameters:

aesKey - AES key to use (normally created using KeyCrypter#deriveKey and cached as it is time consuming to create from a password)

Throws:

KeyCrypterException - Thrown if the wallet decryption fails. If so, the wallet state is unchanged.

checkPassword

boolean checkPassword(java.lang.CharSequence password)

checkAESKey

boolean checkAESKey(AesKey aesKey)

getKeyCrypter

@Nullable
KeyCrypter getKeyCrypter()

Returns the key crypter used by this key chain, or null if it's not encrypted.
