Returns:

this signer's private key, or null if the private key has not yet been set.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSecurityAccess method doesn't allow returning the private key.

setKeyPair

public final void setKeyPair(KeyPair pair)
                      throws InvalidParameterException,
