Interface EncryptionMaterialsProvider

All Superinterfaces:
EncryptionMaterialsAccessor, EncryptionMaterialsFactory
All Known Implementing Classes:
KMSEncryptionMaterialsProvider, SimpleMaterialProvider, StaticEncryptionMaterialsProvider

public interface EncryptionMaterialsProvider extends EncryptionMaterialsAccessor, EncryptionMaterialsFactory
Interface for providing encryption materials. Implementations are free to use any strategy for providing encryption materials, such as simply providing static material that doesn't change, or more complicated implementations, such as integrating with existing key management systems.
  • Method Details

    • refresh

      void refresh()
      Forces this encryption materials provider to refresh its encryption material. For many implementations of encryption materials provider, this may simply be a no-op, such as any encryption materials provider implementation that vends static/non-changing encryption material. For other implementations that vend different encryption material throughout their lifetime, this method should force the encryption materials provider to refresh its encryption material.
