Package de.schlichtherle.truezip.key Description

A generic, extensible manager for keys of arbitrary type required to create or open protected resources. Its primary objective is to decouple...

the process to retrieve keys required to open or create protected resources from...
the process to use and verify these keys.

The process to retrieve keys is executed by the (abstract) classes and interfaces in this package.

The process to use and optionally authenticate keys is executed by the users of this package - called client applications or clients for short.

A protected resource can be anything which can be referenced by a URI: As an example, it could be a URL to an AES encrypted file which the client application is going to create or overwrite. The key could be a password or a key file entered or selected by the user.
