Class KeyGeneratorSpi

  1. java.lang.Object
  2. extended byjavax.crypto.KeyGeneratorSpi

  1. public abstract class KeyGeneratorSpi
  2. extends java.lang.Object
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI) for the KeyGenerator class. All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply the implementation of a key generator for a particular algorithm.

Method Detail

engineInit

  1. protected abstract void engineInit( java.security.SecureRandom random)
Initializes the key generator.
Parameters:
random - the source of randomness for this generator

engineInit

  1. protected abstract void engineInit( java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
  2. java.security.SecureRandom random)
  3. throws java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException
Initializes the key generator with the specified parameter set and a user-provided source of randomness.
Parameters:
params - the key generation parameters
random - the source of randomness for this key generator
Throws:
java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if params is inappropriate for this key generator

engineInit

  1. protected abstract void engineInit( int keysize,
  2. java.security.SecureRandom random)
Initializes this key generator for a certain keysize, using the given source of randomness.
Parameters:
keysize - the keysize. This is an algorithm-specific metric, specified in number of bits.
random - the source of randomness for this key generator
Throws:
java.security.InvalidParameterException - if the keysize is wrong or not supported.

engineGenerateKey

  1. protected abstract SecretKey engineGenerateKey( )
Generates a secret key.
Returns:
the new key
