public final class DSAKeyPairGenerator

extends KeyPairGenerator

This class encapsulates a key pair generator for the DSA algorithm.

The strength of the key pair generator indicates the bit-length of the p parameter (see FIPS 186).

Constructor Detail

DSAKeyPairGenerator

public DSAKeyPairGenerator()

Makes an new, uninitialized instance of DSAKeyPairGenerator.

Method Detail

setAlgID

public void setAlgID(AlgorithmIdentifier keyAlgID)
              throws AlgorithmIdentifierException

Sets the key algorithm identifier. If the algorithm identifier contains DSAParams, those parameters will be used in the key generation.

Specified by:

setAlgID in class KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

keyAlgID - Permissible values are AlgID.dsa and AlgID.dsaOld.

Throws:

AlgorithmIdentifierException

initialize

public void initialize(int strength,
                       RandomBitsSource rbs)

Initializes this DSAKeyPairGenerator. Uses precomputed parameters when a strength of 512, 768, or 1024 is requested; generates new (random) parameters otherwise.

Specified by:

initialize in class KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

strength - The length in bits of the DSA p parameter.

rbs - The random bits source used to generate a DSA key pair.

initialize

public void initialize(DSAParams params,
                       RandomBitsSource rbs)

Initializes this DSAKeyPairGenerator.

Parameters:

params - The DSAParams used to generate a DSA key pair.

rbs - The random bits source used to generate a DSA key pair.
