An AlgorithmParameters object for managing the parameters * for a particular algorithm can be obtained by * calling one of the getInstance factory methods * (static methods that return instances of a given class). * *

There are two ways to request such an implementation: by * specifying either just an algorithm name, or both an algorithm name * and a package provider. * *

* *

Once an AlgorithmParameters object is returned, it must be * initialized via a call to init, using an appropriate parameter * specification or parameter encoding. * *

A transparent parameter specification is obtained from an * AlgorithmParameters object via a call to * getParameterSpec, and a byte encoding of the parameters is * obtained via a call to getEncoded. * * @author Jan Luehe * * @version 1.24, 05/05/04 * * @see java.security.spec.AlgorithmParameterSpec * @see java.security.spec.DSAParameterSpec * @see KeyPairGenerator * * @since 1.2 */ public class AlgorithmParameters { // The provider private Provider provider; // The provider implementation (delegate) private AlgorithmParametersSpi paramSpi; // The algorithm private String algorithm; // Has this object been initialized? private boolean initialized = false; /** * Creates an AlgorithmParameters object. * * @param paramSpi the delegate * @param provider the provider * @param algorithm the algorithm */ protected AlgorithmParameters(AlgorithmParametersSpi paramSpi, Provider provider, String algorithm) { this.paramSpi = paramSpi; this.provider = provider; this.algorithm = algorithm; } /** * Returns the name of the algorithm associated with this parameter object. * * @return the algorithm name. */ public final String getAlgorithm() { return this.algorithm; } /** * Generates a parameter object for the specified algorithm. * *
