Parameter generators * are constructed using the <code>getInstance()</code> factory methods (static * methods that return instances of a given class).</p> * * <p>The object that will generate the parameters can be initialized in two * different ways: in an algorithm-independent manner, or in an * algorithm-specific manner:</p> * * <ul> * <li>The algorithm-independent approach uses the fact that all parameter * generators share the concept of a <i>"size"</i> and a <i>source of * randomness</i>. The measure of <i>size</i> is universally shared by all * algorithm parameters, though it is interpreted differently for different * algorithms. For example, in the case of parameters for the <i>DSA</i> * algorithm, <i>"size"</i> corresponds to the size of the prime modulus (in * bits). When using this approach, algorithm-specific parameter generation * values - if any - default to some standard values, unless they can be * derived from the specified size.</li> * <li>The other approach initializes a parameter generator object using * algorithm-specific semantics, which are represented by a set of * algorithm-specific parameter generation values. To generate Diffie-Hellman * system parameters, for example, the parameter generation values usually * consist of the size of the prime modulus and the size of the random * exponent, both specified in number of bits.</li> * </ul> * * <p>In case the client does not explicitly initialize the * <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> (via a call to an <code>init()</code> * method), each provider must supply (and document) a default initialization. * For example, the <b>GNU</b> provider uses a default modulus prime size of * <code>1024</code> bits for the generation of <i>DSA</i> parameters. * * @author Mark Benvenuto * @since 1.2 * @see AlgorithmParameters * @see AlgorithmParameterSpec */ public class AlgorithmParameterGenerator { /** Service name for algorithm parameter generators. */ private static final String ALGORITHM_PARAMETER_GENERATOR = "AlgorithmParameterGenerator"; private AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi paramGenSpi; private Provider provider; private String algorithm; /** * Creates an <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> object. * * @param paramGenSpi the delegate. * @param provider the provider. * @param algorithm the algorithm. */ protected AlgorithmParameterGenerator(AlgorithmParameterGeneratorSpi paramGenSpi, Provider provider, String algorithm) { this.paramGenSpi = paramGenSpi; this.provider = provider; this.algorithm = algorithm; } /** * Returns the standard name of the algorithm this parameter generator is * associated with. * * @return the string name of the algorithm. */ public final String getAlgorithm() { return algorithm; } /** * Generates an <code>AlgorithmParameterGenerator</code> object that * implements the specified digest algorithm.
