 @Deprecated(since="1.2", forRemoval=true) public abstract class Signer extends Identity 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. - Since:

Method Detail- 
getPrivateKeypublic 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 checkSecurityAccessmethod is called with"getSignerPrivateKey"as its argument to see if it's ok to return the private key.- Returns:
- this signer's private key, or null if the private key has not yet been set.
- Throws:
- SecurityException- if a security manager exists and its- checkSecurityAccessmethod doesn't allow returning the private key.

- 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.
