Method Detail

generateKeyPair

public static KeyPair generateKeyPair(ESecureRandom entropy)

Enabled: Make a new VatIdentity object. Constructing this object will create a new keypair which will define a new identity.

calculateVatID

public static String calculateVatID(PublicKey key)

Enabled: Calculate the vatID from a public key. The vatID is the SHA1 hash of the public key expressed as a base 64 integer.

Parameters:

key - is the public key to hash

Returns:

the SHA1 hash of the public key in base 64 representation as a String.
