public class KeyGenerator
extends Object

This class provides the functionality of a secret (symmetric) key generator.

Key generators are constructed using one of the getInstance class methods of this class.

KeyGenerator objects are reusable, i.e., after a key has been generated, the same KeyGenerator object can be re-used to generate further keys.

There are two ways to generate a key: in an algorithm-independent manner, and in an algorithm-specific manner. The only difference between the two is the initialization of the object:

• Algorithm-Independent Initialization

  All key generators share the concepts of a keysize and a source of randomness. There is an init method in this KeyGenerator class that takes these two universally shared types of arguments. There is also one that takes just a keysize argument, and uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation), and one that takes just a source of randomness.

  Since no other parameters are specified when you call the above algorithm-independent init methods, it is up to the provider what to do about the algorithm-specific parameters (if any) to be associated with each of the keys.

• Algorithm-Specific Initialization

  For situations where a set of algorithm-specific parameters already exists, there are two init methods that have an AlgorithmParameterSpec argument. One also has a SecureRandom argument, while the other uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation).

In case the client does not explicitly initialize the KeyGenerator (via a call to an init method), each provider must supply (and document) a default initialization.

Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support the following standard KeyGenerator algorithms with the keysizes in parentheses:

• AES (128)
• DES (56)
• DESede (168)
• HmacSHA1
• HmacSHA256

These algorithms are described in the KeyGenerator section of the Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation. Consult the release documentation for your implementation to see if any other algorithms are supported.

                       Provider provider,
                       String algorithm)

Creates a KeyGenerator object.

参数:

keyGenSpi - the delegate

provider - the provider

algorithm - the algorithm

方法详细资料

getAlgorithm

public final String getAlgorithm()

Returns the algorithm name of this KeyGenerator object.

This is the same name that was specified in one of the getInstance calls that created this KeyGenerator object.

返回:

the algorithm name of this KeyGenerator object.

getInstance

public static final KeyGenerator getInstance(String algorithm)
                                      throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

Returns a KeyGenerator object that generates secret keys for the specified algorithm.

This method traverses the list of registered security Providers, starting with the most preferred Provider. A new KeyGenerator object encapsulating the KeyGeneratorSpi implementation from the first Provider that supports the specified algorithm is returned.

Note that the list of registered providers may be retrieved via the Security#getProviders() method.

参数:

algorithm - the standard name of the requested key algorithm. See the KeyGenerator section in the Java Cryptography Architecture Standard Algorithm Name Documentation for information about standard algorithm names.

返回:

the new KeyGenerator object.

抛出:

NullPointerException - if the specified algorithm is null.

NoSuchAlgorithmException - if no Provider supports a KeyGeneratorSpi implementation for the specified algorithm.
