Interface AlgorithmIdentifierFinder

public interface AlgorithmIdentifierFinder
Base interface for the finders that turn an algorithm name into the AlgorithmIdentifier - algorithm OID plus any algorithm-specific parameters - naming it in an ASN.1 structure.

Implementations match names without regard to case, and throw IllegalArgumentException for a name they do not recognise rather than returning null. MacAlgorithmIdentifierFinder returns null instead, and so is deliberately not part of this hierarchy.

      org.bouncycastle.asn1.x509.AlgorithmIdentifier find(String algorithmName)
      Find the algorithm identifier that matches with the passed in algorithm name.
      Parameters:
      algorithmName - the name of the algorithm of interest.
      Returns:
      an algorithm identifier for the corresponding algorithm.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the name is not recognised.
