Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(int keysize,
                       SecureRandom random)
                throws InvalidParameterException

Specified by:

initialize in class KeyPairGeneratorSpi

Throws:

InvalidParameterException

initialize

public void initialize(AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
                       SecureRandom random)
                throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Initializes the key pair generator using the specified parameter set and source of randomness. If the parameter set is true, the implementation defaults to McElieceParameterSpec, Furthermore, if source random is null, the implementation defaults to the SecureRandom implementation of the JCE Provider.

Overrides:

initialize in class KeyPairGeneratorSpi

Parameters:

params - the parameter set used to generate the keys.

random - a source of random

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the given parameters are inappropriate for this key pair generator.

generateKeyPair

public KeyPair generateKeyPair()

Generates a KeyPair consisting of a McEliecePrivateKey and McEliecePublicKey depending on the initialization of this object. If the KeyPairGenerator has not been initialized, the implementation defaults to parameter set 460896.

Specified by:

generateKeyPair in class KeyPairGeneratorSpi

Returns:

a KeyPair consisting of a McEliecePublicKey and a McEliecePrivateKey.
