javax.crypto
public interface SecretKey extends Key
This interface defines no new methods over java.security.Key, but rather is intended to be a marker interface and to provide type safety for secret keys.
The format of secret keys should be RAW, as returned
by java.security.Key#getFormat().
Concrete implementations of this interface should override the java.lang.Object#equals and java.lang.Object#hashCode methods of java.lang.Object to use the actual key data rather than the identity-based default methods.
