## gnu.crypto.key.srp6
Class SRPKey

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--gnu.crypto.key.srp6.SRPKey

All Implemented Interfaces:
  java.security.Key, java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  SRPPrivateKey, SRPPublicKey

public abstract class SRPKey
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.security.Key, java.io.Serializable

An abstract representation of a base SRP ephemeral key.

This object encapsulates the two numbers:

- N: A large safe prime (N = 2q+1, where q is prime).
- g: A generator modulo N.

Note that in SRP, all arithmetic is done modulo N.

Field Summary
`protected java.math.BigInteger` | `g` The generator.
`protected java.math.BigInteger` | `N` The public, Germaine prime, shared modulus.

Fields inherited from interface java.security.Key

Constructor Summary
`protected` | `SRPKey(java.math.BigInteger N, java.math.BigInteger g)`

Method Summary
`boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object obj)` Returns `true` if the designated object is an instance of `SRPKey` and has the same SRP parameter values as this one.
`java.lang.String` | `getAlgorithm()` Returns the standard algorithm name for this key.
`byte[]` | `getEncoded()` Deprecated. see getEncoded(int).
`abstract byte[]` | `getEncoded(int format)`
`java.lang.String` | `getFormat()` Returns `null` since this implementation does not encode SRP keys.
`java.math.BigInteger` | `getG()` Returns the generator.
`java.math.BigInteger` | `getN()` Returns the public shared modulus.

  Specified by:
    `getEncoded` in interface `java.security.Key`

### getFormat

    public java.lang.String getFormat()

  Returns `null` since this implementation does not encode SRP keys.

  Specified by:
    `getFormat` in interface `java.security.Key`

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Parameters:
    `obj` - the other non-null SRP key to compare to.
