ptolemy.actor.lib.security.SecretKeyReader

Open a keystore from a FileParameter and output a SecretKey. <p>This class is a wrapper class for <a href="../../../../ptolemy/actor/lib/security/KeyReader.xml">ptolemy.actor.lib.security.KeyReader</a> that always returns a secret key. <p>The secret key is a symmetric key can be used by the <a href="../../../../ptolemy/actor/lib/security/SymmetricEncryption.xml">ptolemy.actor.lib.security.SymmetricEncryption</a> and <a href="../../../../ptolemy/actor/lib/security/SymmetricDecryption.xml">ptolemy.actor.lib.security.SymmetricDecryption</a> actors. See <a href="../../../../ptolemy/actor/lib/security/SymmetricEncryption.xml">ptolemy.actor.lib.security.SymmetricEncryption</a> for a description of symmetric vs. asymmetric algorithms.
