Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.This class is deprecated and subject to removal in a future version of Java SE. It has been replaced byjava.security.KeyStore
, thejava.security.cert
package, andjava.security.Principal
.This class is used to represent an Identity that can also digitally sign data.The management of a signer's private keys is an important and sensitive issue that should be handled by subclasses as appropriate to their intended use.

Method Detail
getPrivateKey
public PrivateKey getPrivateKey()
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.Returns this signer's private key.First, if there is a security manager, its
checkSecurityAccess
method is called with"getSignerPrivateKey"
