Syntax
public final Object getParameter( String param ) throws InvalidParameterException
Parameters
param
the string name of the parameter.
Returns
the object that represents the parameter value, or null if there is none.
Description
Gets the value of the specified algorithm parameter. This method supplies a general-purpose mechanism through which it is possible to get the various parameters of this object. A parameter may be any settable parameter for the algorithm, such as a parameter size, or a source of random bits for signature generation (if appropriate), or an indication of whether or not to perform a specific but optional computation. A uniform algorithm-specific naming scheme for each parameter is desirable but left unspecified at this time.

Exceptions
InvalidParameterException if param is an invalid parameter for this engine, or another exception occurs while trying to get this parameter.
