Package org.bouncycastle.pqc.jcajce.interfaces

JCA-style key interfaces for the BCPQC-provider PQC algorithms, parallel to org.bouncycastle.jcajce.interfaces — letting callers downcast a Key into its algorithm-specific accessor shape without depending on the concrete provider implementation classes.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AIMerKey
BIKEKey
CMCEKey	Deprecated. the standardised Classic McEliece KEM (ISO/IEC 18033-2:2006/Amd 2:2026) is now provided under org.bouncycastle.crypto and org.bouncycastle.jcajce (see org.bouncycastle.crypto.params.CMCEParameters and org.bouncycastle.jcajce.spec.CMCEParameterSpec).
DilithiumKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use ML-DSA instead.
DilithiumPrivateKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use ML-DSA instead.
DilithiumPublicKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use ML-DSA instead.
FaestKey
FalconKey
FalconPrivateKey
FalconPublicKey
FrodoKey	Deprecated. the standardised FrodoKEM (ISO/IEC 18033-2:2006/Amd 2:2026) is now provided under org.bouncycastle.crypto and org.bouncycastle.jcajce (see FrodoKEMParameters / FrodoKEMParameterSpec).
HaetaeKey	Marker interface implemented by HAETAE public and private JCA keys; exposes the underlying HaetaeParameterSpec so callers can identify which HAETAE parameter set the key belongs to.
HawkKey	Marker interface implemented by Hawk public and private JCA keys; exposes the underlying HawkParameterSpec so callers can identify which Hawk parameter set the key belongs to.

KyberPrivateKey
KyberPublicKey
LMSKey	Base interface for Leighton-Micali Hash-Based Signatures (LMS) keys.
LMSPrivateKey	Base interface for an LMS private key

SPHINCSKey
SPHINCSPlusKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use SLH-DSA instead.
SPHINCSPlusPrivateKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use SLH-DSA instead.
SPHINCSPlusPublicKey	Deprecated. to be deleted - use SLH-DSA instead.
SQIsignKey
StateAwareSignature	Deprecated. it's better to avoid this and use extractKeyShard methods where possible.
UOVKey	Marker interface for an Unbalanced Oil and Vinegar (UOV) key.
XMSSKey
XMSSMTKey
XMSSMTPrivateKey	Base interface for an XMSSMT private key
XMSSPrivateKey	Base interface for an XMSS private key
