Hi,

I want convert kp.getPublic().getEncoded() to a string.
I want store this key in special file which is a text file, because
this is shared with a no java application.

When i convertr byte[] to string and after string to byte[], i havent
same result, why ?

UTF8 and BASE64Encoder don't resolve my problem.

Thanks

Philippe
