java.security.KeyPairGeneratorSpi

java.security.KeyPairGenerator

com.ibm.crypto.ibmjcehybrid.provider.DiffieHellmanKeyPairGeneratorHybrid

public final class DiffieHellmanKeyPairGeneratorHybrid
extends java.security.KeyPairGenerator

This class is a facade for the generator of Diffie-Hellman key pairs.

This key pair generator may be initialized in two different ways:

• By providing the size in bits of the prime modulus. This will be used to create a prime modulus and base generator, which will then be used to create the Diffie-Hellman key pair. The default size of the prime modulus is 1024 bits.
• By providing a prime modulus and base generator.

Constructor Detail

DiffieHellmanKeyPairGeneratorHybrid

public DiffieHellmanKeyPairGeneratorHybrid()

Creates a new instance of the DiffieHellmanKeyPairGeneratorHybrid class.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
                       java.security.SecureRandom random)
                throws java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException,
                       java.security.InvalidParameterException

Initializes this KeyPairGenerator for given parameters and secure random source.

Overrides:

initialize in class java.security.KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

params - the RSAKeyParameterSpec for this object.

random - the SecureRandom object for generating random numbers.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - thrown when parameter set is not recognized.

java.security.InvalidParameterException

initialize

public void initialize(int strength,
                       java.security.SecureRandom random)
                throws java.security.InvalidParameterException

Initializes this KeyPairGenerator for given modulus size and secure random source. The private key will be stored in the CLEAR not the hardware or the PKDS, the private key label will be randomly generated and the key will be used for signing purposes.

Overrides:

initialize in class java.security.KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

strength - the length of the key to be generated.

random - the SecureRandom object for generating a random number.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidParameterException - thrown when a parameter is not recognized.

generateKeyPair

public java.security.KeyPair generateKeyPair()

Generates an RSA key pair.

Overrides:

generateKeyPair in class java.security.KeyPairGenerator

Returns:

a KeyPair contains a pair of generated RSA keys

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - in the key label formal is not valid

getGenerator

protected void getGenerator()

Creates an instance of the KeyPairGenerator.

Throws:

java.lang.RuntimeException - if this method fails to create and to initialize the message digest.
