Field Detail

MODULUS_LENGTH

public static final String MODULUS_LENGTH

Property name of the length (Integer) of the modulus of an RSA key.

RSA_PARAMETERS

public static final String RSA_PARAMETERS

Property name of an optional RSAKeyGenParameterSpec instance to use for this generator's n, and e values. The default is to generate n and use a fixed value for e (Fermat's F4 number).




   SOURCE_OF_RANDOMNESS
   public static final String SOURCE_OF_RANDOMNESS
   
 Property name of an optional SecureRandom instance to use. The
 default is to use a classloader singleton from PRNG.






   Method Detail

   generate
   public  KeyPair generate()
   
 The algorithm used here is described in nessie-pss-B.pdf
 document which is part of the RSA-PSS submission to NESSIE.
Returns: an RSA keypair. 



   name
   public  String name()
   


   setup
   public  void setup(Map attributes)
   
 Configures this instance.
Parameters: attributes the map of name/value pairs to use. 
Throws: IllegalArgumentException if the designated MODULUS_LENGTH
 value is less than 1024.
