Syntax

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).
