public class RSAKeyPairGenerator

extends KeyPairGenerator

Constructor Summary

RSAKeyPairGenerator()

Method Summary

CryptoBag	generateKeyPair() This method generates a new keypair with the previously initialized parameters and returns it as a CryptoBag object.
void	initialize(int keyLength, Object parameter, SecureRandom random) The KeypairGenerator can be provided with the following paramters: the keylength of the requested key an optional exponent value (If this value is not defined a preset value will be used) a secure random number generator Typical values for the public exponent are the Fermat primes F4 and F0 (0x10001 and 0x11) and, less commonly, 17.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(int keyLength,
                       Object parameter,
                       SecureRandom random)
                throws CryptoException

The KeypairGenerator can be provided with the following paramters:

the keylength of the requested key

an optional exponent value (If this value is not defined a preset value will be used)

a secure random number generator

Typical values for the public exponent are the Fermat primes F4 and F0 (0x10001 and 0x11) and, less commonly, 17. If no values are provided by the developer, the keygeneration is performed with preset values.
For example:

 
  KeyPairGenerator kpg = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("RSA");        
  BigInteger big = new BigInteger("17");
  kpg.initialize(1024, big, new SecureRandom());  
  CryptoBag cb = kpg.generateKeyPair();
 

Overrides:

initialize in class KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

keyLength - length of the requested key

paramter - an optional exponent value, has to be set to null if not self-defined

random - a secrandom generator
