Constructor Detail

KeyGenerationParameters

public KeyGenerationParameters(java.security.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 Detail

getRandom

public java.security.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).
