Method Detail

engineInit

protected abstract void engineInit(AlgorithmParameterSpec paramSpec)
                            throws InvalidParameterSpecException

Initializes this AlgorithmParametersSpi with the specified AlgorithmParameterSpec.

Parameters:

paramSpec - the parameter specification.

Throws:

InvalidParameterSpecException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized or the given paramSpec is not appropriate for initializing this AlgorithmParametersSpi.

engineInit

protected abstract void engineInit(byte[] params)
                            throws IOException

Initializes this AlgorithmParametersSpi with the specified byte[] using the default decoding format for parameters. The default encoding format is ASN.1.

Parameters:

params - the encoded parameters.

Throws:

IOException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized, or the parameter could not be encoded.

engineInit

protected abstract void engineInit(byte[] params,
                                   String format)
                            throws IOException

Initializes this AlgorithmParametersSpi with the specified byte[] using the specified decoding format.

Parameters:

params - the encoded parameters.

format - the name of the decoding format.

Throws:

IOException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized, or the parameter could not be encoded.

engineGetParameterSpec

protected abstract <T extends AlgorithmParameterSpec> T engineGetParameterSpec(Class<T> paramSpec)
                                                                        throws InvalidParameterSpecException

Returns the AlgorithmParameterSpec for this AlgorithmParametersSpi.

Parameters:

paramSpec - the type of the parameter specification in which this parameters should be converted.

Returns:

the AlgorithmParameterSpec for this AlgorithmParametersSpi.

Throws:

InvalidParameterSpecException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized, or if this parameters could not be converted to the specified class.

engineGetEncoded

protected abstract byte[] engineGetEncoded()
                                    throws IOException

Returns the parameters in their default encoding format. The default encoding format is ASN.1.

Returns:

the encoded parameters.

Throws:

IOException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized, or if this parameters could not be encoded.

engineGetEncoded

protected abstract byte[] engineGetEncoded(String format)
                                    throws IOException

Parameters:

format - the name of the encoding format.

Returns:

the encoded parameters.

Throws:

IOException - if this AlgorithmParametersSpi has already been initialized, or if this parameters could not be encoded.

engineToString

protected abstract String engineToString()

Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this AlgorithmParametersSpi.

Returns:
