A default implementation that assumes a file location that must exist.

Note: It calls SecurityUtils.loadKeyPairIdentity(String, InputStream, FilePasswordProvider)

Method Detail

isValidLocation

boolean isValidLocation(String location)
                 throws IOException

Parameters:

location - The identity key-pair location - the actual meaning (file, URL, etc.) depends on the implementation.

Returns:

true if it represents a valid location - the actual meaning of the validity depends on the implementation

Throws:

IOException - If failed to validate the location

loadClientIdentity

KeyPair loadClientIdentity(String location,
                           FilePasswordProvider provider)
                    throws IOException,
                           GeneralSecurityException

Parameters:

location - The identity key-pair location - the actual meaning (file, URL, etc.) depends on the implementation.

provider - The FilePasswordProvider to consult if the location contains an encrypted identity

Returns:

The loaded KeyPair - null if location is empty and it is OK that it does not exist

Throws:

IOException - If failed to access / process the remote location

GeneralSecurityException - If failed to convert the contents into a valid identity
