Class ParametersSerializer<ParametersT extends Parameters>

java.lang.Object

com.google.crypto.tink.internal.ParametersSerializer<ParametersT>

public abstract class ParametersSerializer<ParametersT extends Parameters>
extends java.lang.Object

Serializes Parameters objects into Serialization objects of a certain kind.

This class should eventually be in Tinks public API -- however, it might still change before that.

                                                          throws java.security.GeneralSecurityException

create

public static <ParametersT extends Parameters> ParametersSerializer<ParametersT> create(ParametersSerializer.ParametersSerializationFunction<ParametersT> function,
                                                                                        java.lang.Class<ParametersT> parametersClass)

Creates a ParametersSerializer object.

In order to create a ParametersSerializer object, one typically writes a function

 class MyClass {
   private static ProtoParametersSerialization serializeParameters(MyParameters Parameters)
             throws GeneralSecurityException {
     ...
   }
 }
 

This function can then be used to create a ParametersSerializer:

 ParametersSerializer<MyParameters> serializer =
       ParametersSerializer.create(MyClass::serializeParameters, MyParameters.class);
