Constructor Detail

IQGQKeyPairGenerator

public IQGQKeyPairGenerator()

Method Detail

initialize

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

Initialize the IQGQ key pair generator with the specified parameters (supposed to be an instance of IQGQParameterSpec) and source of randomness. If no parameters are specified, new parameters are generated for the default size using the IQGQParameterGenerator.

Overrides:

initialize in class KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

params - the parameters

random - the source of randomness

Throws:

InvalidAlgorithmParameterException - if the parameters are not an instance of IQGQParameterSpec.

initialize

public void initialize(int keySize,
                       SecureRandom random)

Initialize the IQGQ key pair generator for given key size and source of randomness. The key size is the bit length of the discriminant of the class group.

Overrides:

initialize in class KeyPairGenerator

Parameters:

keySize - the bit length of the discriminant of the class group

random - the source of randomness

genKeyPair

public KeyPair genKeyPair()

Generate an IQGQ key pair, consisting of an IQGQPublicKey and an IQGQPrivateKey.

Overrides:

genKeyPair in class KeyPairGenerator

Returns:

the generated key pair
