DEREncodable is a preview API of the Java platform.

Programs can only use DEREncodable when preview features are enabled.

Preview features may be removed in a future release, or upgraded to permanent features of the Java platform.

This interface is implemented by security API classes that contain binary-encodable key or certificate material. These APIs or their subclasses typically provide methods to convert their instances to and from byte arrays in the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) format.
