public class KeyGenerationParameters extends Object
The base class for parameters to key generators.

  • Constructor Details

    • KeyGenerationParameters

      public KeyGenerationParameters(SecureRandom random, int strength)
      initialise the generator with a source of randomness and a strength (in bits).
      Parameters:
      random - the random byte source.
      strength - the size, in bits, of the keys we want to produce.

  • Method Details

    • getRandom

      public SecureRandom getRandom()
      return the random source associated with this generator.
      Returns:
      the generators random source.

    • getStrength

      public int getStrength()
      return the bit strength for keys produced by this generator,
      Returns:
      the strength of the keys this generator produces (in bits).
