Method Detail

init

public void init(AlgorithmParameterSpec params,
                 SecureRandom random)
          throws InvalidAlgorithmParameterException

Initialize the key generator with the given parameters (which have to be an instance of SerpentKeyGenParameterSpec) and a source of randomness. If the parameters are null, the default parameters are used.

Overrides:

init in class SecretKeyGenerator

Parameters:

params - the parameters

random - the source of randomness

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the parameters are null or not an instance of SerpentKeyGenParameterSpec.

init

public void init(int keySize,
                 SecureRandom random)

Initialize the key generator with the given key size and source of randomness. If the key size is invalid, the default key size is chosen.

Overrides:

init in class SecretKeyGenerator

Parameters:

keySize - the key size (128, 192, or 256 bits)

random - the source of randomness

init

public void init(SecureRandom random)

Initialize the key generator with the default Serpent parameters and the given source of randomness.

Overrides:

init in class SecretKeyGenerator

Parameters:

random - the source of randomness

generateKey

public SecretKey generateKey()

Generate a Serpent key.

Overrides:

generateKey in class SecretKeyGenerator

Returns:

the generated SerpentKey
