All Implemented Interfaces:

PKCS11EngineClass

public class DsaKeyPairGenerator
extends PKCS11KeyPairGenerator

An engine class for generating DSA key-pairs on a token. The application must call initialize(AlgorithmParameterSpec, SecureRandom) before calling generateKeyPair().

This implementation only supports 512, 768 and 1024 bit as key size. The default key size is 1024 bit.

Construct new generator.

Method Detail

getMechanism

protected iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.Mechanism getMechanism()

Get the mechanism that this key-pair generator uses.

Specified by:

getMechanism in class PKCS11KeyPairGenerator

Returns:

The mechanism that this key-pair generator uses.

Postconditions:

(result <> null)

getAlgorithmName

protected java.lang.String getAlgorithmName()

Returns DSA.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmName in class PKCS11KeyPairGenerator

Returns:

DSA.

Postconditions:

(result.equals("DSA"))

createPublicKeyCreationTemplate

protected iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.objects.Object createPublicKeyCreationTemplate(PKCS11KeyPairGenerationSpec keyPairGenerationSpec)

This implementation accepts internal parameters of type java.security.spec.DSAParameterSpec. If the inner parameters are of a different type, this method ignores them. It adds these parameters to the key template, the parameters in the key template have a higher priority.

Overrides:

createPublicKeyCreationTemplate in class PKCS11KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

keyPairGenerationSpec - The algorithm parameters provided by the application.

Returns:

The key tempalte to serve as input for the PKCS#11 key-pair generation.

See Also:

PKCS11KeyPairGenerator.createPublicKeyCreationTemplate(iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.provider.keypairgenerators.PKCS11KeyPairGenerationSpec)

Postconditions:

(result <> null)

Preconditions:

(keyPairGenerationSpec <> null)

validateAlgorithmParameterSpec

protected void validateAlgorithmParameterSpec(java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec parameters)
                                       throws java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Check, if the given internal parameters are appropriate. This mean that the given parameter refers to the paremters got from the PKCS#11 paramters and not the This implementation accepts null or parameters of type java.security.spec.DSAParameterSpec.

Overrides:

validateAlgorithmParameterSpec in class PKCS11KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

parameters - The parameters to check.

Throws:

java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - If the parameters are inappropriate.
