public static String getAlgorithmProperty( String algName,
String propName )
Parameters
- algName
- the algorithm name.
- propName
- the name of the property to get.
Returns
the value of the specified property.
Description
Gets a specified property for an algorithm. The algorithm name
should be a standard name. See Appendix A in the
Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference
for information about standard algorithm names.
One possible use is by specialized algorithm parsers, which may map
classes to algorithms which they understand (much like Key parsers
do).
