getInstance
class methods of this class. init
method in this KeyGenerator class that takes these two universally shared types of arguments. There is also one that takes just a keysize
argument, and uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation), and one that takes just a source of randomness. init
methods, it is up to the provider what to do about the algorithm-specific parameters (if any) to be associated with each of the keys. init
methods that have an AlgorithmParameterSpec
argument. One also has a SecureRandom
argument, while the other uses the SecureRandom implementation of the highest-priority installed provider as the source of randomness (or a system-provided source of randomness if none of the installed providers supply a SecureRandom implementation). init
method), each provider must supply (and document) a default initialization. See the Keysize Restriction sections of the JDK Providers document for information on the KeyGenerator defaults used by JDK providers. However, note that defaults may vary across different providers. Additionally, the default value for a provider may change in a future version. Therefore, it is recommended to explicitly initialize the KeyGenerator instead of relying on provider-specific defaults.
