Constructor Detail

DSAParameterGenerator

public DSAParameterGenerator()

The default constructor. Only internally used for creating an DSAParameterGenerator object. Applications shall use one of the AlgorithmParameterGenerator.getInstance factory methods for obtaining an AlgorithmParamterGenerator for generating paramters for DSA signature algorithm.

Method Detail

engineInit

protected void engineInit(int primeLength,
                          SecureRandom random)

Initializes the parameter generator with given prime modulus length and random seed.

Overrides:

engineInit in class AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi

Parameters:

primeLength - the length of the prime modulus in bits

random - the random seed for this generator.

engineInit

protected void engineInit(AlgorithmParameterSpec param,
                          SecureRandom random)
                   throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Initializes this generator with some random seed. The parameters must be null.

Applications shall call init(param_spec, random) for provider independent access of this method.

Overrides:

engineInit in class AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi

Parameters:

param - must be null

random - the random seed to be used by this generator.

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if param is not null.

engineGenerateParameters

protected AlgorithmParameters engineGenerateParameters()

Actually generates the required DSA AlgorithmParameters.

Applications shall call generatePrameters() for provider independently accessing this method.

Overrides:

engineGenerateParameters in class AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi

Returns:

the new created DSA AlgorithmParameters
