publicToExplicitParameters

public static PublicKey publicToExplicitParameters(PublicKey key,
 String providerName)
                                            throws IllegalArgumentException,
NoSuchAlgorithmException,
NoSuchProviderException

Convert a passed in public EC key to have explicit parameters. If the key is already using explicit parameters it is returned.

Parameters:

providerName - provider name to be used.

Returns:

the equivalent key with explicit curve parameters

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

NoSuchAlgorithmException

NoSuchProviderException
