Constructor Details

KeyPairGenerator

public KeyPairGenerator(FipsDSA.KeyGenParameters keyGenParameters,
 SecureRandom random)

Construct a key pair generator for DSA keys. FIPS 186-5 no longer approves of DSA, hence keypair generation is disabled for FIPS mode.

Parameters:

keyGenParameters - domain parameters and algorithm for the generated key.

random - a source of randomness for calculating the private value.

Method Details

generateKeyPair

public AsymmetricKeyPair<AsymmetricDSAPublicKey,AsymmetricDSAPrivateKey> generateKeyPair()

Generate a new DSA key pair. FIPS 186-5 no longer approves of DSA, hence keypair generation is disabled for FIPS mode.

Specified by:

generateKeyPair in interface AsymmetricKeyPairGenerator

Specified by:

generateKeyPair in class FipsAsymmetricKeyPairGenerator<FipsDSA.KeyGenParameters,AsymmetricDSAPublicKey,AsymmetricDSAPrivateKey>

Returns:

a new AsymmetricKeyPair containing a DSA key pair.
