K - the type of this key.@ImplementationsShouldExtend(value=AbstractKey.class) public interface Key<K extends Key<K>> extends Cloneable
Implementations do not need to be safe for multi-threading.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
K |
clone()
Returns a deep clone of this safe key.
|
boolean |
equals(Object obj)
Returns
true if and only if this safe key deeply equals the
given object. |
int |
hashCode()
Returns a hash code which is consistent with
equals(Object). |
void |
reset()
Wipes the secret data from memory and resets all properties to their
initial state.

K clone()
boolean equals(Object obj)
true if and only if this safe key deeply equals the
given object.
A safe key equals another object if and only if the other object
has the same runtime class and all its properties compare deeply equal.int hashCode()
equals(Object).
This method is provided for completeness only - you should actually
never use secret keys as hash map keys because of their mutable
properties!void reset()
