Method Detail

generateKeyPair

public static java.security.KeyPair generateKeyPair(int pStrength)
                                             throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

Generates a new public/private key pair usable for DSA signing.

Parameters:

pStrength - the length, in bits, of the modulus. This can be any integral multiple of 8 greater than or equal to 512. Typical values are 512, 768, and 1024.

Throws:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

generateKeyPair

public static java.security.KeyPair generateKeyPair()
                                             throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

Generates a new public/private key pair with a default strength of 1024.

Throws:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

serializeKey

public static java.lang.String serializeKey(java.security.Key pKey)
                                     throws java.io.IOException

This returns the specified key, serialized and converted to a hexadecimal string.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] pArgs)
                 throws java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException,
                        java.io.IOException

Runs the main key generator. An optional argument is the strength of the keys to be generated.

Throws:

java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException

java.io.IOException
