Class KeyGeneratorSpi

java.lang.Object
 extended by javax.crypto.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.

Since:

1.4

engineInit

protected abstract void engineInit(AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
 SecureRandom random)
 throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Parameters:

params - the key generation parameters

random - the source of randomness for this key generator

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if params is inappropriate for this key generator
