                                             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Create a key generator for the passed in Object Identifier.

Parameters:

algorithm - the Object Identifier indicating the algorithn the generator is for.

random - a source of random to initialise the generator with.

Returns:

an initialised CipherKeyGenerator.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the algorithm cannot be identified.
