class
AlgorithmParametersSpi
extends Object
This class defines the Service Provider Interface (SPI)
for the AlgorithmParameters class, which is used to manage
algorithm parameters.
All the abstract methods in this class must be implemented by each
cryptographic service provider who wishes to supply parameter management
for a particular algorithm.

Protected methods
engineGetEncoded
byte[] engineGetEncoded (String format)
Returns the parameters encoded in the specified format.
If format is null, the
primary encoding format for parameters is used. The primary encoding
format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters
exists.
| Parameters |
|---|
format |
String:
the name of the encoding format. |
| Returns |
|---|
byte[] |
the parameters encoded using the specified encoding scheme. |
engineGetEncoded
byte[] engineGetEncoded ()
Returns the parameters in their primary encoding format.
The primary encoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1
specification for this type of parameters exists.
| Returns |
|---|
byte[] |
the parameters encoded using their primary encoding format. |
engineGetParameterSpec
T engineGetParameterSpec (Class<T> paramSpec)
Returns a (transparent) specification of this parameters
object.
paramSpec identifies the specification class in which
the parameters should be returned. It could, for example, be
DSAParameterSpec.class, to indicate that the
parameters should be returned in an instance of the
DSAParameterSpec class.
| Parameters |
|---|
paramSpec |
Class:
the specification class in which
the parameters should be returned. |
| Returns |
|---|
T |
the parameter specification. |
engineInit
void engineInit (AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec)
Initializes this parameters object using the parameters
specified in paramSpec.
| Parameters |
|---|
paramSpec |
AlgorithmParameterSpec:
the parameter specification. |
engineInit
void engineInit (byte[] params,
String format)
Imports the parameters from params and
decodes them according to the specified decoding format.
If format is null, the
primary decoding format for parameters is used. The primary decoding
format is ASN.1, if an ASN.1 specification for these parameters
exists.
| Parameters |
|---|
params |
byte:
the encoded parameters. |
format |
String:
the name of the decoding format. |
engineInit
void engineInit (byte[] params)
Imports the specified parameters and decodes them
according to the primary decoding format for parameters.
The primary decoding format for parameters is ASN.1, if an ASN.1
specification for this type of parameters exists.
| Parameters |
|---|
params |
byte:
the encoded parameters. |
engineToString
String engineToString ()
Returns a formatted string describing the parameters.
| Returns |
|---|
String |
a formatted string describing the parameters.
