Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax 1

public static KeyPairGenerator getInstance( String algorithm ) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException

Parameters

algorithm: the standard string name of the algorithm. See Appendix A in the Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference for information about standard algorithm names.

Returns

the new KeyPairGenerator object.

Description

Generates a KeyPairGenerator object that implements the algorithm requested, as available in the environment.

Exceptions

NoSuchAlgorithmException if the algorithm is not available in the environment.

Syntax 2

public static KeyPairGenerator getInstance( String algorithm, String provider ) throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, NoSuchProviderException

Parameters

algorithm: the standard string name of the algorithm. See Appendix A in the Java Cryptography Architecture API Specification & Reference for information about standard algorithm names.
provider: the string name of the provider.

Returns

the new KeyPairGenerator object.

Description

Generates a KeyPairGenerator object implementing the specified algorithm, as supplied from the specified provider, if such an algorithm is available from the provider.

Exceptions

NoSuchAlgorithmException if the algorithm is not available from the provider.

Exceptions

NoSuchProviderException if the provider is not available in the environment.
