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.certpackage, 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.

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

pair- an initialized key pair.- Throws:
InvalidParameterException- if the key pair is not properly initialized.KeyException- if the key pair cannot be set for any other reason.SecurityException- if a security manager exists and itscheckSecurityAccessmethod doesn't allow setting the key pair.- See Also:
