Constructor	Description
IBMSecureRandomHybrid()	Creates a new instance of the IBMSecureRandomHybrid class.
IBMSecureRandomHybrid(byte[] seed)	Creates a new instance of the IBMSecureRandomHybrid class.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
byte[]	engineGenerateSeed(int numBytes)	This method generates a seed value that the app could pass back on a setSeed() call, or could pass to a different SecureRandom object on a setSeed() call.
void	engineNextBytes(byte[] bytes)	Generates a user-specified number of random bytes.
void	engineSetSeed(byte[] seed)	Sets the seed value for the random number generator.
SecureRandom	getBestInstance(byte[] seed)	Creates an instance of the specified KeyGenerator, the provider will be the selecting the first provider in the list for the generator that returns a KeyGenerator object.
protected void	getGenerator(byte[] seed)	Creates an instance of the SecureRandom.

Constructor Details

IBMSecureRandomHybrid

public IBMSecureRandomHybrid()

Creates a new instance of the IBMSecureRandomHybrid class.

IBMSecureRandomHybrid

public IBMSecureRandomHybrid(byte[] seed)

Creates a new instance of the IBMSecureRandomHybrid class. Note: The seed has no real meaning in hardware and this constructor only exists for compatability with SecureRandomSpi.

Parameters:

seed - a series of bytes used as seed

Method Details

engineSetSeed

public void engineSetSeed(byte[] seed)
                   throws UnsupportedOperationException

Sets the seed value for the random number generator.

Specified by:

engineSetSeed in class SecureRandomSpi

Parameters:

seed - a series of bytes used as seed.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - is never thrown by this method.

engineNextBytes

public void engineNextBytes(byte[] bytes)

Generates a user-specified number of random bytes.

Specified by:

engineNextBytes in class SecureRandomSpi

Parameters:

bytes - the array to be filled in with random bytes.

engineGenerateSeed

public byte[] engineGenerateSeed(int numBytes)

This method generates a seed value that the app could pass back on a setSeed() call, or could pass to a different SecureRandom object on a setSeed() call.

Specified by:

engineGenerateSeed in class SecureRandomSpi

Parameters:

numBytes - the size of the seed to generate

getGenerator

protected void getGenerator(byte[] seed)

Creates an instance of the SecureRandom.

Throws:

RuntimeException - if this method fails to create and to initialize the SecureRandom.

getBestInstance

public SecureRandom getBestInstance(byte[] seed)

Creates an instance of the specified KeyGenerator, the provider will be the selecting the first provider in the list for the generator that returns a KeyGenerator object.

Parameters:

seed - a series of bytes used as seed value.

Returns:

the requested Secure Random object

Throws:

RuntimeException - if this constructor fails to authenticate the JCE framework.
