Methods

buildDecryptionContext()

buildDecryptionContext(key): DecryptionContext

Build a decryption context using the given private key. This context can be used to decrypt data that was encrypted with the corresponding public key.

Parameters

key

PrivateKey

The private key to use for decryption.

Returns

DecryptionContext

A decryption context.

Throws

AccessDeniedError If the key lacks the KeyPurpose.DECRYPT purpose.


buildEncryptionContext()

buildEncryptionContext(key): EncryptionContext

Build an encryption context using the given public key. This context can be used to encrypt data that only the holder of the corresponding private key can decrypt.

Parameters

key

PublicKey

The public key to use for encryption.

Returns

EncryptionContext

An encryption context.

Throws

AccessDeniedError If the key lacks the KeyPurpose.ENCRYPT purpose.


buildWrappingContext()

buildWrappingContext(pubKey, privKey, scheme): WrappingContext

Build a wrapping context using the given public/private key and wrapping scheme. This context can be used for key wrapping operations, which involve encrypting cryptographic keys.

Parameters

pubKey

PublicKey

The public key. Required for wrapping operations.

privKey

PrivateKey

The private key. Required for unwrapping operations.

scheme

WrappingScheme

The wrapping scheme to be used.

Returns

WrappingContext

A wrapping context.

Throws

AccessDeniedError Thrown when:

Throws

NotSupportedError If the implementation does not support wrapping operations.
