Method Details

setPersonalizationString

public FipsDRBG.Builder setPersonalizationString(byte[] personalizationString)

Set the personalization string for DRBG SecureRandoms created by this builder

Parameters:

personalizationString - the personalisation string for the underlying DRBG.

Returns:

the current Builder instance.

setSecurityStrength

public FipsDRBG.Builder setSecurityStrength(int securityStrength)

Set the security strength required for DRBGs used in building SecureRandom objects.

Parameters:

securityStrength - the security strength (in bits)

Returns:

the current Builder instance.

setEntropyBitsRequired

public FipsDRBG.Builder setEntropyBitsRequired(int entropyBitsRequired)

Set the amount of entropy bits required for seeding and reseeding DRBGs used in building SecureRandom objects.

Parameters:

entropyBitsRequired - the number of bits of entropy to be requested from the entropy source on each seed/reseed.

Returns:

the current Builder instance.

build

public FipsSecureRandom build(byte[] nonce,
 boolean predictionResistant)

Build a SecureRandom based on a SP 800-90A DRBG.

Parameters:

nonce - nonce value to use in DRBG construction.

predictionResistant - specify whether the underlying DRBG in the resulting SecureRandom should reseed on each request for bytes.

Returns:

a SecureRandom supported by a DRBG.

build

public FipsSecureRandom build(byte[] nonce,
 boolean predictionResistant,
 byte[] additionalInput)

Build a SecureRandom based on a SP 800-90A DRBG.

Parameters:

nonce - nonce value to use in DRBG construction.

predictionResistant - specify whether the underlying DRBG in the resulting SecureRandom should reseed on each request for bytes.

additionalInput - initial additional input to be used for generating the initial continuous health check block by the DRBG.

Returns:

a SecureRandom supported by a DRBG.
