Interface PrivateKeyRetriever

public interface PrivateKeyRetriever

The service contract of an implementation of a private key retriever.

Important: Using this interface is discouraged. It was introduced to deal with situations where third party libraries (e.g. opensaml) expects a private for crypto operations rather than letting another component to do the operation for them.

If the need of a private key can be avoided, do NOT use this interface. Use CryptoService instead.
