Class KeyGeneratorSpi



  • public abstract class KeyGeneratorSpi
    extends 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.

      • engineInit

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

        protected abstract void engineInit(int keysize,
                                           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:
        InvalidParameterException - if the keysize is wrong or not supported.
      • engineGenerateKey

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