Class PGPSecretKeyRingCollection

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.openpgp.PGPSecretKeyRingCollection

    public class PGPSecretKeyRingCollection

extends java.lang.Object

Often a PGP key ring file is made up of a succession of master/sub-key key rings. If you want to read an entire secret key file in one hit this is the class for you.

Method Summary
`static PGPSecretKeyRingCollection` `addSecretKeyRing(PGPSecretKeyRingCollection ringCollection, PGPSecretKeyRing secretKeyRing)` Return a new collection object containing the contents of the passed in collection and the passed in secret key ring.
`void` `encode(java.io.OutputStream outStream)`
`byte[]` `getEncoded()`
`java.util.Iterator` `getKeyRings()` return the secret key rings making up this collection.

`java.util.Iterator` `getKeyRings(java.lang.String userID, boolean matchPartial, boolean ignoreCase)` Return an iterator of the key rings associated with the passed in userID.
`PGPSecretKey` `getSecretKey(long keyID)` Return the PGP secret key associated with the given key id.
`PGPSecretKeyRing` `getSecretKeyRing(long keyID)` Return the secret key ring which contains the key referred to by keyID.
`static PGPSecretKeyRingCollection` `removeSecretKeyRing(PGPSecretKeyRingCollection ringCollection, PGPSecretKeyRing secretKeyRing)` Return a new collection object containing the contents of this collection with the passed in secret key ring removed.
