Class ClientKey

java.lang.Object

freenet.keys.BaseClientKey

freenet.keys.ClientKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ClientCHK, ClientSSK

public abstract class ClientKey
extends BaseClientKey
implements java.io.Serializable

Base class for client keys. Client keys are decodable. Node keys are not. When data has been fetched to a node-level KeyBlock, it can only be decoded after a ClientKeyBlock has been constructed from the node-level block and the client key. The client key generally contains the encryption keys which the node level does not know about, but which are in the URI - usually the second part, after the comma.
