For that, we’ll use the following code snippet: public static final String NEW_LINE_CHARACTER = '\n'
For that, once we have the file’s content into a variable, we’ll replace all the unwanted text with some empty strings. You need to remove all that and have only the key.

We have to clean up the public key data though. Next, we need to read the public key file into our Java code. For that though, we need to first convert this string into a byte array: byte bytesToBeEncrypted = dataToBeEncrypted.getBytes() I have selected a very specific message to encrypt, and it makes a lot of sense: String dataToBeEncrypted = 'Some random words in no particular order.' Īs you can see, I can’t really send out this very sensitive message over public internet. Now that we have a key pair, let’s start encrypting our message.
